Is 'Mercenary Kings' the PS4 PS Plus game for April?

Today the Hong Kong version of the PlayStation Blog announced several new updates for the Hong Kong PlayStation Store. While we do not normally provide coverage for the PlayStation Store outside of the United States, there was interesting tidbit that we could not ignore. Do we now know what PlayStation 4 game will be free with PlayStation Plus for April? Keep reading to see what we think!In the blog post they list the 2D action title Mercenary Kings April’s free PlayStation Plus game for the PlayStation 4 (See above screenshot). While this post does not confirm that the game will also be coming to North America, there are several reasons to think that is likely. Unlike the PlayStation Plus for the PS3 that regularly has different free game offerings dependent on region, all of the offerings for the PlayStation 4 has been the same globally. The Hong Kong site also was the first to list last month’s free game (Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition) a few days before it was officially announced as well.

We are still treating this as a theory, but as soon as we receive official confirmation from the US PlayStation Blog we will let you know. The PlayStation Plus update is normally posted on the final Thursday of the month so keep checking back!
