Whenever you see a “leaked” PlayStation Plus lineup that looks too good to be true, we recommend approaching with caution. Take this image that’s been showing up in our Twitter timeline a lot these past few days: it seems to suggest that Far Cry 4 and Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin will be the headline PlayStation 4 titles given away as part of Sony’s subscription service in February 2018.
Closer inspection reveals a giant stinking hoax, however. For starters, enlarging the image uncovers video artefacts on everything apart from the key art for the two main titles. It’s almost like someone’s taken a screen grab of a previous PS Plus update and superimposed Far Cry and Dark Souls on top. Don’t believe it, folks – February 2018’s PS Plus update will be officially announced next week.

The lightning suggests to me maybe it will be released the same month as God of War, maybe, but unlikely.
Boy will your face be red if this turns out to be true.
If this is fake(which it likely is,maybe I'm bad with this kind of stuff) I think we will see Dark Souls 2 later this year. Don't ask me why, it's just a feeling.
TWO triple A titles... and I don’t already own either.
That’s how I know it isn’t real. They generally only give out games I already own. Sorry to burst your bubble folks.
Far Cry 4 with 5 out in month or two - it could be... DS2 with the first remastered coming soon - it could be...
Both together in the same month - seems highly unlikely...
DS2 would be so good to me! I once bought it for ps3 but the graphics put me off to be honest! Maybe this version is better!
Far Cry...platinum trophy already
That's You hyyyype!
I never finished Dark Souls 2, so that’d be tight if this were real.
I was expecting Monster Hunter: World and Dissidia Final Fantasy.
Monster Hunter World is amazing. I am playing it now
If its true count this as my first worst month ever post!
All I am saying is I wanted Dark Souls 2 in the previous article and then this happens. If true, then I am clearly some kind of psychic and deserving of my own TV show.
what does it make seem more realistic is the continued inclusion of that's you however. they really want everyone to have it lol
I will err on the side of caution as suggested but I would be very happy if we got Dark Souls 2. Never played it and would love to give it a go.
I never even finished FC3 on PS3 when it came out on plus back a few years ago the MP mode pissed me off so much because of its PVP server system that it would kick half way through a mission and if you joined and finished the long boring missions you never got the trophy. You had to start all the way from the beginning which was and is now impossible so I have in and finished the story on PC instead
If this does turn out to be true, it'll be the first time I give a Dark Souls game a try. Fingers crossed
Sony really wants us to play 'thats you'.
@JoeBlogs Ha ha thanks - I would warn you that it would be a massive vanity project, go hugely over budget, have an unncessary amount of nudity and be cancelled after two epsiodes.
As great as this line-up of games is, I've already played them both so it would be of no consequence to me.
Anybody else thinking, that this dark blue and golden DS4 looks super hot?
I hope it's fake. I already have Dark Souls II.
@Bliquid no. It's not. It's just good. It has the least interesting bestiary, the most non-sensible dungeon design and a few pretty lousy hitboxes when compared to other Souls games. It's not terrible (it's far better than lords of the fallen) but it's certainly not awesome.
@themcnoisy Its a free extra what is the problem?
@Bliquid git gud has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. The dungeon design sucks. Corridors and square empty rooms again and again and again. Elevators taking you upwards to a locale that cannot be there geographically. Zombies, skeletons, zombies, hollows, zombies, knights, zombies, hollows.
@Bliquid ah, sorry. Didn't know you hadn't finished it. I'll shut up.
Ill buy the games i want i rather get indies. 😂 😱
Even if they give GOW someone will find a way to complain.
@Bliquid Still hoping for the Demon Souls remaster my favorite. 😀
@Bliquid Check out this article, if you have the mood and the time. It explains a lot better than I ever could why exactly DSII is the worst of the Souls games.

@Flaming_Kaiser Ay?
I'd say it was fake based on the fact those 2 are on sale atm
@themcnoisy He mentioned the wrong person LMAO! xD
