Some poor person working on the German version of the EU PlayStation Blog hit the go button just a little bit too soon, it seems, and let slip with the PlayStation Plus update for February. It looks to me like it’s going to be a pretty good month too.
For PlayStation 4, we have the very well regarded action RPG Transistor, with beatiful graphics, a gorgeous soundtrack and an intriguing tactical element to the combat. I’ve been recommending it to people for months. Alongside it will be the new release of Apotheon, a 2D side scrolling action RPG with a rather unique Greek mythological look to it.
PlayStation 3 owners, meanwhile, get a pair of fine retail games, with both Yakuza 4 and Thief added to its roster. The PS Vita then has the new release of Kick & Fennick and the cross-buy Rogue Legacy on the cards.
So that’s:
- Apotheon (PS4)
- Transistor (PS4)
- Thief (PS3)
- Yakuza 4 (PS3)
- Rogue Legacy (PS4, PS3, PS Vita Cross Buy)
- Kick and Fennick (PS Vita)
Unfortunately, the original post has since been pulled, but there’s enough weight in numbers that we’re fairly confident that this was the list that was posted. We’ll confirm once the planned unveil happens, whenever that might be.
Update: Yup, it’s been confirmed.

Hmm, I’d probably be interested in Thief if it was for PS4, but as it isn’t, I’ll hold off Plus for another month.
Seriously though, where’s Driveclub? The only thing I can think of is Sony/Evo are going to be sneaky and release it just before Project Cars comes out

Happy about Transistor, almost bought that one a couple of times already, good I didn’t. The rest I might never get around playing anyway.

Great line up for PS4 – those are all games I had my eye on. I’d like to try Yakuza, but my PS3 is already full of games I would like to try (and that list is only getting longer)

Not too sure about these but I’ll give them a go. Quite like the art style in Apotheon and I think I mentioned before that Rogue Legacy looks a bit like Wonder Boy in Monsterland.

I’d hardly call this a slip up. Playstation released the info half an hour later anyway. If it was a day or two before perhaps. But not half an hour

Would have prefered Thief to Transistor on the PS4 for completely selfish reasons. I already own the rather spiffing Transistor and avoided the rather disappointing Thief. Hey, ho, may have to dust down the PS3. Yakuza 4 is ace and bonkers btw, if you haven’t played it.
