Sony waited until December 1st to formalize the list of games “free” to PlayStation Plus subscribers this month. And if the leak that preceded this multi-day announcement was once again correct, it would not mention an important element. And this important element risks igniting a lot of ink.
In December, PlayStation Plus subscribers, whether on PS5 or PS4, can download and play Godfall. But that’s not the version of Godfall that the people who bought the game can access; we’re talking about the Godfall: Challenger Edition here. Behind this title is a game from which all scripted parts have been removed.
A PlayStation Plus demo instead of a full game?
The thing is most official as it comes from the presentation text of the game that was published on the PlayStation blog :
We’re excited to announce that Godfall: Challenger Edition allows new players to experience all three post-game modes of the game without the storyline content of the base game and the Fire & Darkness expansion. And that allows existing players to enjoy exciting new features and rewards.
No giveaway in December on PS5 and PS4
The post-game modes therefore correspond to the modes that are activated after the end of the game campaign. Players who pick up this game via PlayStation Plus on PS5 or PS4 will also have the option to start at level 50. Level 50, which includes many skill and weapon points.
The studio behind the game also states that Godfall: Challenger Edition users can purchase the Godfall Deluxe Edition. And when they get the latter, they can access both the base game’s campaign and that of the Fire & Darkness expansion.
For your information, Godfall: Challenger Edition will be available to PlayStation Plus subscribers from December 7th through January 3rd.
What do you think of this situation? Does she disappoint you? Are you concerned that this type of strategy will be reused for future PS5 and PS4 games on the PlayStation Plus? Could this approach make you want to buy the full set? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
