Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Counterspy and Sherlock Holmes also join the service

Hi everyone! It’s that time of the month again when we update you on all the goodies coming your way courtesy of PlayStation Plus. We’re bringing you a great mix of titles this month so let’s not waste any more time and crack on with the details!

New PlayStation 4 Content for March:

First up this month on PS4, Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty. Explore ancient ruins, dodge carnivorous beasts and avoid trigger-happy hunting parties as Abe, the original Oddworld hero in this lovingly re-crafted take on PlayStation classic Abe’s Oddysee.

Once a happy floor waxer in Oddworld’s biggest meat processing plant, Abe stumbles across his boss’s secret plan to turn the factory’s slave labour force into the latest in the RuptureFarms Tasty Treats line of novelty meat snacks. Abe now has to save his own skin from the grinders even if simply escaping the flesh farm is only the start of his Oddysee.

Next up, a story of love and crossed destinies in a world torn apart. In Valiant Hearts: The Great War, the lives of all the characters are inextricably drawn together over the course of the game. Friendship, love, sacrifice, and tragedy befall each one as they help each other to retain their humanity against the horrors of war.

New PlayStation 3 Content for March:

First up this month on PS3 enter the story of a young boy, Quico, and his best friend, Monster in Papo and Yo. Monster is a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth, but that doesn’t scare Quico away from playing with him. Build your friendship with Monster by solving puzzles together and adventuring through a magical, surrealist world. You will need to learn to use Monster’s emotions, both good and bad, to your advantage if you want to complete your search for a cure and save your pal.

Next up is your chance to step into the shoes of the legendary Sherlock Holmes using your detective talents to six thrilling cases including murders, missing persons, spectacular thefts and numerous investigations that sometimes lead you into the realms of the fantastic.

The great freedom of action in Sherlock Holmes Crimes & Punishmentsallows you to conduct your investigations in the manner you deem appropriate. Choose the leads you wish to pursue, interrogate your suspects and, from your deductions, name the guilty parties… and determine their fate wisely, as surprising consequences may arise where you least expect them.

New PS Vita Content for March:

First up this month the sequel to a monster PS VITA / PS3 title which we can’t get enough of at PlayStation. OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood has a stunning new look, plucking you from the street and dropping you squarely in the middle of the big screen’s most bodacious cinematic locations.

The sequel boasts all new Ramps and Epic Hills allowing for monster air and multi-route levels. Furthermore, OlliOlli 2′s combo system has been expanded. The joy of Manuals, Reverts, Revert Manuals and Grind Switching giving you more control and expression than ever before.

Finally, CounterSpy is up for grabs. Take on the role of a spy working for the C.O.U.N.T.E.R. agency and use your espionage and combat skills to infiltrate the lairs of two global forces – each with their own dastardly plans to nuke the moon from orbit. As the warring superpowers face off in this twisted space race, jump into action to stealthily sabotage their devious schemes and maintain world peace.

As CounterSpy is Cross Buy, you can pick up this dangerously addictive title across PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, enjoy!

Sweet! Was going to buy Valiant Hearts at some point. Heard that counterspy was quite good too. Now, if only there was a way to Sherlock Holmes on PS4 for free.. or a discounted price.

[GasClown]

Awesome... I'm with Hasan, was going to get Valiant Hearts eventually. Can't wait to let one rip in Oddworld as well.

[I_live_4_fun]

Yay, I've been wanting to get Oddworld and give CounterSpy a go. Sherlock Holmes sounds good for a playthrough too - hopefully it's not too tricky for me

[Axe99]

Oooh, bloody great PS+ month .  I highly, highly recommend Valiant Hearts, get into it .  Also highly recommend Sherlock Holmes for those on PS3, I really enjoyed it (and don't worry Live, it has hints and lets you skip puzzles if stuck, and there are walkthroughs online - I didn't need to skip anything and only hit the walkthroughs twice, so it's not hard ).  Oddworld was on my 'to play' list, and Olli Olli 2 is getting some great reviews.  Even Counterspy was on my 'I'm curious about that' list.  Cheers for the info Spec .

Dishonored is coming to PlayStation Plus (PS3) in April. Sorry for the confusion this month - we pulled the trigger too early!

I guess that's the confirmation that Dishonored pulling out was the reason of the plus update announcement delay.

Sounds like, great news for PS3 owners in April mind.  Sounds like they could have slightly more robust processes/calendars over in PS+ central .
