More PlayStation classics are coming to PlayStation Plus Premium before the end of the year, with Sony announcing a pair of well-loved fighting game threequels and a remake of a beloved action-adventure game are all joining the service.
Sony announced Soul Calibur 3, Tekken 3, and Tomb Raider: Anniversary will be playable for PS Plus Premium subscribers, the service’s most expensive tier, later this year. The news came as part of Sony’s most recent PlayStation State of Play presentation.
Tekken 3 originally released on PS1 in 1998 and is often regarded as one of the best fighting games of all time, and was the first entry in the series to introduce the “Tekken Force” sidescrolling beat-’em-up mode.
Soul Calibur 3, released for PS2 in 2005, isn’t as well-regarded as the legendary Soul Calibur 2 but is still one of the better entries in the fighting game series. It introduced fighters like Zasalamel and Tira, and it was the first game in the franchise to feature a robust character creator that could be used in the game’s single-player Chronicles of the Sword mode.
Last but not least, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a 2007 remake of the original Tomb Raider, one that looked to expand upon the gameplay of Lara Croft’s first adventure while further fleshing out Lara’s character and the game’s story.
When, exactly, the three games will be added to PS Plus, or if they will all be added at the same time, is currently unknown. Sony additionally revealed the free games coming to PS Plus in October, which includes Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon for Essential subscribers starting October 7. The Last of Us Part II Remastered will be available for PS Plus Extra members on September 26.
Those who have yet to claim September’s free PS Plus games, which include Psychonauts 2, Stardew Valley, and Viewfinder, have until October 7 to do so.
Sony’s latest State of Play featured plenty of other reveals, including a remaster of the original Deus Ex, an in-depth look at Housemarque’s Saros, and a peek Insomniac’s next superhero title, Wolverine.
