If you’re looking for a cheap PS5 game to kick off 2026, look no further. Achilles: Legends Untolda little-known but ambitious action-RPG, is currently enjoying a spectacular 70% discount on the PlayStation Store. The perfect opportunity to (re)discover a game that largely flew under the radar during its initial release.
A low price for a mythological adventure
Released in 2023, Achilles: Legends Untold immerses you in the world of ancient Greece alongside Achilles, legendary warrior. The game, developed by Dark Point Games, is available for only €7.49 instead of €24.99 – but be careful, this offer is reserved for PS5 players and ends on Thursday January 8, 2026.
“Explore the mythical world of ancient Greece and play as the intrepid warrior Achilles,” announces the official presentation. “The story will take you through Troy and various regions of ancient Greece, allowing you to unravel its secrets. »
This promotion does not apply to the PS4 version, which remains at full price. A strategy which clearly aims to promote the next-gen version, more fluid and visually richer.
Dark Souls-inspired gameplay
Although the game received mixed reviews upon release, players today praise its combat system precise and demanding, inspired by FromSoftware games. The confrontations, dynamic and brutal, require rigor, patience and a sense of timing. “Fans of the Souls series will be delighted to note that its combat system is inspired by the FromSoftware formula, acclaimed by players,” underlines the PS Store description. Add to that a wide variety of enemies, fearsome mythological bosses, and an open world full of secrets to uncover.
A Souls-like accessible and without subscription
Unlike many current multiplayer games, Achilles: Legends Untold is a 100% single-player RPG. It does not require any PS Plus subscription to be played — a real plus for fans of narrative and immersive experiences.
Please note, however: those who wish to play it via cloud streaming will need a PS Plus Premium subscription. But in its classic version for local download, the game is completely autonomous.
Should you give in before the end of the promotion?
For less than €8, this game is well worth the investment, especially if you are a fan of mythology, Souls-style challenges, or simply curious to discover a title that has gained popularity over time.
“Although Achilles: Legends Untold received mixed reviews, player reception was very positive,” recalls the PlayStation Lifestyle article. A deserved rehabilitation for a game that has evolved after its launch.
If you are looking for an original Souls-like, with a neat mythological setting, this promotion is the perfect opportunity. Hurry, offer ends soon on the PS Store.
