[Original message]
What’s it about: Soon the new games for PS Plus in July 2021 will be officially presented. There are already some leaks about it. Currently, 3 games for PS Plus in July are being talked about:
- Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an action-adventure where you don’t play as the familiar protagonist Nathan Drake.
- A Plague Tale: Innocence is an action-adventure and stealth game where you solve puzzles and sneak around, evading opponents.
- WRC 9 is a rally simulation and is reminiscent of DiRT Rally. The game emphasizes the simulation aspect.
While many users find the already leaked Plague Tale: Innocence quite likely, there are strong doubts about the other two games announced for PS Plus in July 2021.
PS Plus leak looks like an amateurish copy from May 2021
What speaks against the leak? The leak for PS Plus in July 2021 was originally published on MyDeals. However, the leak has since been taken offline.
The operators of MyDeals had pointed out that the leak did not comply with their own guidelines. This is a strong argument against the credibility of the leak.
There is already a discussion about the leak on reddit, and here too, there are indications that it must be a fake (via reddit.com)
- In the disclaimer at the bottom, it says “Available from 05/04/21 – 05/31/21.” For many users, this is a hint that someone has carelessly revised the announcement from May.
- In the explanation of the leak, it states “PS5 Console Only: Benefit not applicable for Wreckfest on PS4.” However, Wreckfest was a PS Plus game in May 2021.
Both the removal of the leak and the references to May 2021 argue against the presented leak. Therefore, you should not expect too much from it and be a little patient.
Soon the new PS Plus games should be presented, and we do not expect that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy or WRC 9 will be among them. However, there is a small glimmer of hope for A Plague Tale: Innocence.
If you are currently a PS Plus member, you can still get the free PS Plus games for June 2021. Here you can get a Star Wars game along with a really good co-op title.
