Release overview – December additions

The table summarizes what lands when and where. It reflects the tiers and platforms called out by PlayStation and helps pinpoint the single early drop this month.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage – stealth focus and new story content

Ubisoft’s latest returns to a smaller‑scale, stealth‑driven formula. You play as Basim in ninth‑century Baghdad, moving through reactive districts to uncover a conspiracy that ties into the series’ earliest roots. The update “Valley of Memory” adds about 6 hours of extra gameplay and a new region, AlUla, alongside broader gameplay tweaks across the full game.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – dark fantasy Three Kingdoms

Set in 184 AD during the Later Han Dynasty, Team Ninja’s action game frames a militia soldier’s survival against demonic threats and enemy armies. Combat centers on swordplay inspired by Chinese martial arts, with progression tied to mastering timing and unleashing inner power to tip difficult encounters.

Skate Story – an Underworld trip on four wheels

A demon made of glass accepts a single task: skate to the Moon. The experience emphasizes tactile control – ollies, kickflips and grinds – where weight and momentum determine success on crumbling asphalt. Encounters blend movement and combat, letting you skate fast to break hostile demons while meeting strange allies along the route. Available in the service since December 8.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink – co‑op action in the Sky Realm

This 3D action RPG has you captain a crew across the Zegagrande Skydom as you pursue the fabled island Estalucia. Build a four‑character party with distinct weapons and skills and chain Link Attacks and Chain Bursts in real time. Quests support solo play or up to four‑player co‑op.
