Game Grails: May 2023's Kick-Ass Titles Covering Art, Fashion, and Entertainment
Top Video Games Set for Release in May 2025
This month's gaming calendar might not boast the fireworks of the past couple of months, what with mega launches like Kingdom Come Deliverance II, Civilization VII, and Assassin's Creed Shadows. But fret not, there's still a fine collection of engaging, high-profile releases inbound, as well as some noteworthy smaller games that deserve your attention.
Let's dive right in!
The Midnight Walk
Release: May 8 | Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5
Revel in this Eerie Adventure!
What sets this game apart is the meticulously crafted art, inspired by real-life clay sculptures and animated in the style of stop-motion flicks. The artwork is, of course, appropriately ghastly and evokes an eerie feel reminiscent of spooky seasonal classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Mad God.
Revenge of the Savage Planet
Release: May 8 | Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S
Back for another Stay-Alive Journey!
Having been left high and dry by their corporate bosses, you're tasked to claw your way up from the bottom to get your revenge on them in this twisted sci-fi adventure. Team up with a buddy for cooperative play or kick back on the couch with a mate for split-screen fun.
Doom: The Dark Ages
Release: May 15 | Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S
Time Travel with a Twist!
DOOM's legendary Slayer gets transported back in time, but not to a world devoid of flashy weaponry. Expect the crushing skull gun, spinning-blade shield, and an mighty mace in this prequel to Doom 64 and Doom (2016).
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown
Release: May 22 | Platforms: PC (Steam)
Shell-Shocking Tactics!
Thought ninja turtle games were all about single-player action? Think again. This strategy-infused game finally puts the TMNT gang to work together in full force as you tackle challenges and annihilate enemies alongside your brothers.
Onimsuha 2: Samurai's Destiny
Release: May 28 | Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), PS4, Xbox One
Step into the Samurai's Shoes!
The long-awaited sequel to the classic Onimusha series is finally here, resurrecting the spirit of a captivating blend of undead battles and Japanese Samurai action. Fans of the original Onimusha series won't want to miss this remastered wok of war.
To a T
Release: April 8 | Platforms: PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X
A Weirdly Wonderful Journey!
From the mind of Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi comes an unconventional narrative adventure game based on a 13-year old kid living in a coastal town. Stand out from the crowd and navigate obstacles by doing things the hero's own way - pet a dog, brush your teeth, maneuver through doors - all while stuck in the iconic T-pose.
Elden Ring: Nightreign
Release: May 30 | Platforms: PC (Steam), PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X
Boss-Hunting Coop Fun!
Don't get caught off guard - this three-player cooperative game lets you and two friends or fellow gamers team up to take down one of several bosses using pre-determined characters over three in-game days. It's not a sequel, not DLC, but still a must-play for fans of Elden Ring.
