Today is when the new PlayStation Plus is rolling out in Spain and other European countries. If we French people are among the last in the world to take advantage of it, we will on the other hand be able to enjoy a fairly substantial catalog for those who will take the best of the offers. In the meantime, just to make players and the community want to take the plunge, Sony Interactive Entertainment has split an advertisement in which we follow a certain Mr. Malcom, from his purchase of a piece of meat from a butcher to to a secret place where there are very strange creatures. Obviously, the advertisement refers to many games and other PlayStation licenses, such as Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, or even Death Stranding. Sony Interactive Entertainment specifies that this advertisement required 35 days of preparation, that the shooting was carried out in 6 days in 6 different places, and that it involves 94 crew members and 68 actors. No less than 1 props including around 270 trophies and 80 clocks were used, knowing that a dozen easter eggs were placed here and there in the commercial. It remains to be seen if you will be able to find them all...
