PlayStation launched its annual Black Friday Sale at the end of last week, with discounts of up to 70 percent on major titles on the PS4 and PS5. The promotion will be live on some early releases, but largely from third parties, and will end on November 28 on the digital store. God of War Ragnarök is a catalog highlight, available at 38 percent off for Rs. 3,099, with Kratos and Atreus ordered to travel to the Nine Realms to prevent the prophesied apocalypse. PS Plus Premium/Deluxe members also get a three-hour free trial, in case you fancy testing the waters. However, those who only own an old-gen PS4 can opt for the special version for Rs. 2,279.
Meanwhile, the prequel God of War Digital Deluxe Edition will cost you Rs. 999 with 50 percent discount. The Last of Us Part I, a remake of the beloved post-apocalyptic zombie killing game, is available for Rs. 3,099 (38 percent discount) for the PS5 – the sequel has not been discounted. And of course, you can contact local retailers to get a physical copy of it, which costs Rs. 2,499. In the same undead vein, you could also pick up the remake of Resident Evil 4 and step into the shoes of handsome cop Leon S. Kennedy as he ventures into a creepy Spanish village to rescue the president’s daughter from bizarre cult members. It is available at a discount of 43 percent for Rs. 2,279.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage review
The latest Assassin’s Creed title is also making its way into the Black Friday sale. After three open-world RPG titles, Ubisoft has taken a back-to-basics approach with the franchise in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, set in ninth-century Baghdad, with an emphasis on stealth and cunning assassinations. AC Mirage was released last month and is listed at Rs. 2,799 after a 20 percent price drop.
Fighting game fans have two choices: Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. The former takes a lively turn and adds some RPG elements to the mix, similar to the Persona games, and a career-building story mode reminiscent of Yakuza. Street Fighter 6 also adds a Modern Control pattern, bridging the gap between old schoolers and newbies to the genre – the standard edition costs Rs. 2,239 after a 44 percent discount. Conversely, Mortal Kombat 1 marks another reboot of the franchise, after Liu Kang achieved godhood and changed the timeline to ensure peace in the lands. It is listed for Rs. 3,359 – 30 percent off – and is perfect for those who like super cool movies to go with their fatal combos.
Speaking of cinematics, Final Fantasy The game throws you into the war-torn land of Valisthea to prevent the source of all magic, Aether, from fading, taking part in large-scale cinematic Eikon battles that forego the franchise’s long-running turn-based battles. FF16 goes up for Rs. 2,879.
Final Fantasy XVI Review
Harry Potter fans could enter the enchanted halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and tap into ancient magic as they juggled responsibilities such as attending classes, exploring the dense Forbidden Forest, making potions and battling Dark Wizards. Hogwarts Legacy costs Rs. 2,399 on PS4 and Rs. 2,639 on PS5. The Black Friday discounts will also please Star Wars fans, who can continue the story of Jedi Knight Cal Kestis and take on the oppressive Empire in the critically acclaimed soul-like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for Rs. 2,699. For a more authentic soul-like experience, consider picking up the recently released Lies of P, which sees you take control of Pinocchio in a twisted Belle Epoque setting to rid the Gothic city of Crate of the plague. The game costs Rs. 3,039 on both PS4 and PS5 after discount.
Sports fans can get their annual dose of arcade football experience through EA Sports FC 24 for Rs. 2,249, or buy NBA 2K24, the latest installment in the critically acclaimed basketball series, for Rs. 2,499.
