Forgotten games are sometimes given a second life. This is precisely what happens with The Order: 1886this PlayStation exclusive released in 2015, which resurfaces today at a knockdown price. The PlayStation Store is offering the game at just $9.99 until February 5, 2026, as part of its New Year’s offers. Developed by Ready at Dawn and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, the game sees its price reduced by half, a rare opportunity to (re)discover an atypical title with a thwarted destiny.
Launched more than ten years ago, The Order: 1886 did not appeal to everyone at the time. However, its universe, its artistic direction and its cinematic narration have left a lasting imprint in the memory of many players. Today, at a time of reassessments and rediscoveries, its return to the forefront creates a surprise.
A dark and stylized universe in Victorian London
Immersed in an alternative 19th century, The Order: 1886 offers a steampunk rereading of history, mixing advanced technologies, supernatural threats and secret societies. “The Order: 1886 offers players a unique vision of Victorian London where humanity uses cutting-edge technology to combat an ancient and formidable enemy.”
The player plays Galahad, an elite knight engaged in an age-old war that goes beyond the borders of reality. Combining nervous action sequences and impeccable cinematics, the game stands out as an immersive narrative experience, even today on PS5.
A slashed price for a unique adventure on PS4 and PS5
Upon its initial release, the game was divided by critics. With an average score of 65 on Metacritic, some criticized it for having too short a lifespan or too directive gameplay. However, another reading is possible: that of a game fully assuming its hybrid form, between interactive film and effective TPS. “The Order: 1886 relies on its interactive cinematic presentation, and it makes full use of this strength”
Therefore, the current offer is timely. For less than $10, it’s hard to miss this atmospheric adventure. But be careful, the promotion ends on February 5 at 2:59 a.m. ET, and it may not return anytime soon.
A possible sequel? Fans reignite the debate
Since the announcement of this promotion, online discussions have multiplied. Many players are demanding a sequel, or even a new chance for this title with untapped potential. “Despite this, the game will continue to fuel debates regarding its lifespan, its dense storyline and the little freedom offered to the player.” And for good reason: the world of The Order is full of ideas that have never been pushed to their full potential.
The debate remains unresolved, but the renewed enthusiasm around the game shows that it has never been completely forgotten. “It will be up to each player to determine how much importance they place on video games.” And for some, The Order: 1886 clearly deserves a second chance.
