It’s another one of those week everyone; not a lot of interesting games coming within the next seven days. However, this means you still have a week to clear out your gaming backlog before all the big releases come by. If you are intrigued in this week’s line-up, it features some DLC for the latest Assassin’s Creed game, a PSP title (no, this is not a typo) and three Free-to-Play experiences that aren’t remotely similar. Enjoy this week’s video game releases.
[Note: All of the dates and prices listed below are for North American territories. Also, keep in mind that this list is subject to change with new games potentially announced or launching this week without notice.]

- Assassin’s Creed: Unity – Dead Kings DLC
Platforms: Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 4 – (Digital Only on All Platforms)
Price: Free
Those who own Assassin’s Creed: Unity are in luck because, with Ubisoft’s recent woes with the game, they have decided to hand out this piece of downloadable content for free. You’ll follow Arno, Unity’s main protagonist, as he explores the troubled city of Saint-Denis with the power of his new Guillotine Gun. Look out for our review of the DLC in the coming days.
- Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk
Platform: PlayStation Vita
Price: $39.99
Atelier Ayesha Plus is coming to the Vita, two years after its original PS3 release. The handheld version of the Koei Tecmo-developed JRPG features dual audio, new bosses, costumes, a hard mode and additional Album missions, along with all of the game’s original downloadable content. Alchemist of Dusk marks the conclusive chapter of the series, but Dusk Sea will be releasing next month, so look out for that.
- Brandish: The Dark Revenant
Platforms: PlayStation Portable (Compatible with PlayStation Vita & PlayStation TV)
Price: $19.99
After months of anticipation, Brandish: The Dark Revenant is finally seeing a western release, but it’s not on the platform you were expecting. Though it is compatible with the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV, the action-oriented re-imagining of the cult classic is officially releasing on the PlayStation Portable. Are you ready to explore ancient ruins and cursed caverns filled with monsters and many environmental hazards?
- Joe Danger 2: The Movie
Platform: PlayStation Vita (Digital Only)
Price: $10.99
Following the release of the original Joe Danger on the Vita a couple of months back, Hello Games is now bringing the sequel to the PlayStation handheld. We don’t know if the title will be supported through Cross-Buy, but we do know you are going to have tons of fun playing through the game’s 85 levels as 35 characters, all while experiencing everything at 60 FPS.
- Monopoly Deal & Monopoly Plus
Platform: PlayStation 3 (Digital Only)
Price: $TBD
The addictive, fast-paced card rendition, as well as the new take of the classic Monopoly game are great party games to play on your PS3. Most importantly, they don’t require that much time to play as they are suited for quick matches with your friends. If you like the classic game, you may want to check out the modern takes of Monopoly.
- Shake Spears!

- H1Z1
Platforms: PC (Early Access Version) – (Digital Only)
Price: Free-to-Play
H1Z1 is the highly anticipated, open-world zombie Survival MMO where thousands of players can interact with each other to build bases, craft items and survive in a post-apocalyptic world (obviously). Keep in mind though, H1Z1 releases in Early Access on PC, so this won’t be the final state of the title, but it’s a taste of what is to come in the other versions of Sony Online Entertainment’s title.
- WWE: Immortals
Platforms: iOS, Android
Price: Free-to-Play
Developed by NetherRealm Studios, the studio behind the Injustice: Gods Among Us Fighting game, is a Free-to-Play mobile title involving WWE superstars like John Cena, The Rock, Sheamus, Big Show and Triple H. We don’t know that much about the title as only 20 seconds of it were only shown at this moment, but it releases this week, so look out for our review in the coming days.
