Upcoming PS1 Classic Games Heading to PS Plus Leaked

Sony has kicked off 2024 with a bang, unveiling an exciting lineup of additions to PlayStation Plus this January. Even if you're confined to the Essentials selection, there's plenty to be thrilled about. While a slew of stellar games is set to join PS Plus next week, tantalizing hints from PlayStation UK and Access suggest a potential leak of an upcoming PS Plus Premium classic game, and it's a spine-chilling PS1 horror title.

For dedicated PlayStation enthusiasts, the year promises an abundance of gaming delights. The imminent release of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is enough to get pulses racing, and the Q1 2024 schedule boasts three exclusive PlayStation console titles: Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Rise of Ronin. Adding to the excitement, a stellar lineup of third-party multi-platform games, including Persona 3 Reload and Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, is on the horizon.

While the aforementioned titles are undeniably thrilling, the upcoming PS Plus additions are nothing to scoff at. Sony has unveiled some remarkable titles, but a potential leak suggests an even more exciting addition to the Premium tier.

The alleged leak involves Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare making its way to PS Plus Premium. This classic PS1 horror game, rumored to join the Premium subscription tier, was discovered by Reddit user, u/TURBO_THUNDER, on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit.

According to TURBO_THUNDER's Reddit post, PlayStation UK's Twitter announcement for the PS Plus Extra and Premium January 2024 games originally featured Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare. Although the tweet has been since deleted, lingering replies confirm the game's initial inclusion.

Notably, the PlayStation Access YouTube channel also showcased Alone In The Dark in their PS Plus announcement video, leading to speculation about the game's future inclusion. The video was promptly taken down and reuploaded sans the Alone In The Dark clip. However, vigilant Twitter user @qubady managed to capture a screenshot of the original post. While not confirmed, these removals strongly suggest a potential oversight that could see the game arriving on Sony's subscription service in the near future.

If Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare does make its way to PS Plus in 2024, it would be a fantastic addition for fans of classic PS1 titles, particularly in the horror genre. Sony's subscription service could use more gems from this era, and it could also serve as a delightful precursor to the upcoming Alone In The Dark remake set for release in March.

In other PlayStation-related news, there's still time to enter Sony's competition for a chance to win a new PS5. Additionally, a retailer has spilled the beans on a PS5 DualSense V2 controller, featuring a price tag and promising significant improvements. Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the world of PlayStation.
