2 Upcoming PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced Early

Two new PlayStation Plus Extra tier additions have been confirmed early ahead of their November and December reveals, according to multiple outlets including GAMINGbible and TwistedVoxel.

The Japanese PlayStation Blog appears to have confirmed the inclusion of both titles a tad early, with Square Enix's Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation scheduled for November and Koei Tecmo Games' Dynasty Warriors Origins for December.

There's a couple of things to note here; the first being that the original 1988 version of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation is not playable on PlayStation. It therefore seems likely that the post may be referencing 2024's Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake, which is available on the console - especially as the PlayStation Blog appears to use the remake's key art.

The other thing to point out is that the Japanese PlayStation Plus line-up occasionally differs from what you see in other territories like Europe and North America. That being said, differing line-ups usually surface when games aren't available in a certain territory and so are replaced for that region.

Both Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Dynasty Warriors Origins are readily available in Europe and North America as well as Japan, so while it's safer to await November and December's full line-up reveals, it certainly does feel as if the cat has been let out of the bag.

Dynasty Warriors Origins secured a very respectable score of eight from GAMINGbible upon release last year. The hack and slash RPG sees players partake in enormous battles, with the game able to render up to 10,000 enemies in vast scale skirmishes.

As for Dragon Quest III HD-2D, it's actually the perfect starting point for newcomers to the Dragon Quest franchise as the third instalment is the first chronologically, taking place before Dragon Quest I and II. It scored another eight from GAMINGbible.

In just a few days, Sony will confirm PlayStation Plus' November extra and premium tier games, with the new line-up due to be revealed on November 11. We should then get clarity on Dragon Quest III HD-2D's inclusion. As for Dynasty Warriors Origins, we'll have to wait a couple of weeks to see what December brings.
