Starting January 17, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions get new games included. On the program, a fighting game literally taken from the Dragon Ball anime, co-op zombie hunting and an emblematic action title welcome you to a new year.
Back 4 Blood | PS4, PS5
Developed by Turtle Rock, parents of a certain Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood takes up the principle that has proven itself: 4 survivors, more or less immune, cross the different settings of a country in the grip of a typical “apocalypse zombie”, all to play and in coop. Obviously, on the side of the infested, several special classes stand out from the mass that literally swoops down on the four friends. These particular types of zombies can also be an opposing team in a versus game where human “cleaners” go up against zombies in 4v4 and PvP. Each camp, but also each character has its unique weapons and/or abilities. We find there the so-called procedural gameplay which had contributed to the success of the franchise, and which adapts the difficulty, the obstacles and the events to the style of the players. Also expect some surprises from the bosses.
Dragon Ball FighterZ | PS4
Success on the side of the fans but also of the competitive versus fighting, this entry to the license punchy and very faithful to the artistic direction can count on its very nervous rhythm and its spectacular moments, in addition to its advanced technical aspects that we do not not necessarily expect at first. With a complete roster of more than 40 characters including additional content, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to building a team and supports in 3 vs 3. In addition to versus modes, a story mode to the original storyline introduces you to C-21, the artificial human and main antagonist imagined over the supervision of Akira Toriyama himself specifically for the game.
Devil May Cry 5 : Special Edition | PS5
Latest generation version of the fifth installment of the Devil May Cry franchise, this special edition naturally guarantees you frenetic action which is part of the typical recipe of the Dante universe, and adds to it his enemy brother Vergil, playable in this episode, exclusively on PlayStation 5. With different difficulty modes and even a Turbo mode for an even more intense experience, always more supported by – optionally – Ray-tracing and a high framerate integrated by Capcom. After the Order of the Sword incident, demon hunters Dante and Nero will have to face a new threat, and a new enemy named… V.
Life is Strange | PS4
Life is Strange : Before the Storm | PS4
This month, the first entry in the Life is Strange saga, as well as its additional, prequel and independent episode, join the permanent catalog of the PlayStation Plus Extra subscription. A surprising, emotional and beautiful narrative adventure game to choose from, Life is Strange focuses on the temporal powers of Max Caulfield, a photography student who discovers them while saving the life of her best friend, Chloe Price. In the company of the latter, Max chooses to use his new abilities to investigate the disappearance of another young woman from their Arcadia Bay campus, Rachel Amber. Step back in time, change the course of events and admire one of the story endings to understand the name of the DLC while listening to the superb soundtrack and admiring the visuals of the DA so particular to the game of Dontnod. You can then slip into the skin of Chloé when she was 16, and thus understand the beginning of her friendship with Rachel Amber.

Exploration always with Omno, also at the third person and in singular worlds, with a very particular graphic style. Finally, Erica immerses you in the wonderful world of Full Motion Video with a cinematic interactive thriller to experience as a story with multiple choices and endings.
