Greetings one and all and welcome to the red-hot reveal for the PlayStation Plus July line-up. We hope you've all had fun dodging saw blades, meat-hooks and the occasional backstabbing in this month's macabre selection of titles? We're happy to confirm we've got all manner of mayhem coming your way on 1st August. Without further ado, let's take a peek.
If last month's slightly more slow-burning mood left you hankering for something a bit more bonkers then look no further. An over-the-top cavalcade of pure, destructive chaos, Just Cause 3 delivers an open-world third-person romp with all the catharsis and tongue-in-cheek dialogue of a classic '80s action movie.
As Rico Rodriguez, it'll be up to you to sire political change in your troubled homeland of Medici through a thoughtful application of rocket launchers, wingsuits, grappling hooks and high explosives. Revolution is never easy, but as the old saying goes: if at first you don't succeed, tie two helicopter gunships together with a grappling hook, cover them in C4 and smash them into an oil refinery… (you can actually do this).
Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry
If, on the other hand, you're hankering after something a bit more stealthy – and have a soft spot for the high seas – then the mast-straddling, throat-slitting adventures of Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry could be just the very thing.
Set several decades after the piratical exploits of young Edward Kenway, this standalone expansion to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag places you into the boots of shipwrecked sailor and Brotherhood assassin Adéwalé as he goes head to head with a cadre of French slavers. Expect death-defying acrobatics, copious bloodletting and a few pesky Templars trying to do something dastardly.
As per usual, our PS4 games are joined by four other titles on PS Plus this August. Your full line up looks like this:
Just Cause 3 (PS4)
