I want to stress that sometimes, companies let leaks “to be leaks” to generate conversation and engagement, but if this is not the case with PS Plus Essential and Sony, this is the 13th month in a row that moles within Playstation nails PS Plus offering.

Already rumored early this week, Sony confirmed that the December 2022 game collection for PS Plus Essential are:

Divine Knockout: Founder’s Edition | PS4, PS5 

Launching directly into PlayStation Plus, this third-person platform fighter adds a whole new dimension to the genre.

Choose from one of 10 playable gods to hurl boulders as Hercules or wield Mjolnir as Thor. Then battle across diverse arenas with their own mechanics to master. Play 3v3 Arcade mode with friends to explore a variety of game modes, or duke it out in hardcore 1v1 and 2v2 Duels. DKO features cross-play and cross-progression. This Founder’s Edition unlocks DKO and bonus content for the game, plus a DKO-inspired skin in Smite.

By the way, Sony asked for more time to formally announce it is going to be included in the Ps Plus Extra and Premium and remains to see if this month will see the exit of popular games in favor of new entries.
