April showers bring May flowers. And April also brings some new freebies from Sony. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games April 2024 line-up, which will be available for download on Tuesday, April 2.
First, there is Immortals of Aveum, the first-person shooter released just last year, developed by Ascendant Studios. In a fantasy world, pickpocketing thief Jak finds himself joining an elite order of battlemages in order to save the world.
Next, there’s Minecraft Legends, a real-time action-strategy game also released last year, developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive. In this Minecraft spinoff, players must strengthen their defenses and harvest resources while defending the Overworld from an invasion of piglins from the Nether dimension.
Lastly, there’s Skul: The Hero Slayer, an action platformer released in early 2021 by SouthPAW Games. Players take control of a skeleton named Skul who must defend demonkind from the heroes. The game is a 2D side-scroller with randomly-generated levels.
All three PlayStation Plus Free Games April 2024 titles have platinum trophies to unlock. Also, only Minecraft Legends is available for both the PS4 and the PS5. Meanwhile, Immortals of Aveum is only for the PS5, while Skul: The Hero Slayer is for the PS4.
Among these titles, Minecraft Legends is arguable the easiest game to platinum. The difficulty is about average, with both offline and online trophies to unlock, though requiring only around 10 hours of gameplay.
Obtaining the platinum on Immortals of Aveum is also average in terms of difficulty, as the game will need to be completed on Immortal Difficulty setting. Expect around 30-35 hours for this one.
Lastly, Skul: The Hero Slayer can be quite a challenging platinum. The time required is anywhere between 10-25 hours, depending on both your skills and luck.
