The new game releases in May are some of the experiences weve been waiting to have for too long. Not only is Elden Ring Nightreign coming out, but so is Doom: The Dark Ages. Of course, there are plenty of smaller games too, like to a T from the creator of Katamari Damacy and — because it slides in just at the end of April — comedic stealth action game Skin Deep.

Weve been waiting to sink our teeth into these games, and luckily, theyre not all coming out in the same week. Theres time to slay demons in action RPG Conquest Dark before ripping and tearing in The Dark Ages. And some of the biggest games arent arriving until the end of the month, like F1 25. So, whether youre still trying to crack open Blue Prince or counting down the days to Nightreign, youve got a healthy amount of games to jump into in the next few weeks.

Here are our most anticipated game releases for May.

[Ed. note: Some of the prices havent been announced yet. We will update this story when they have.]

Forza Horizon 5

Release date: April 28Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series XMicrosofts open-world racing game series is finally making its way to PlayStation 5 this week. Youll have plenty to do in its fictional version of Mexico thats absolutely packed with stuff to do and collect.

$60 at Steam$60 at Xbox$60 at PlayStation

Skin Deep

Release date: April 30Platforms: Windows PCThis is a comedic immersive sim game where you take out guards with ridiculous tactics, like throwing pepper at them. Crawling through vents can cause you to sneeze and alert enemies, too. You should visit the Steam page and play the demo. This might be the funniest game of the year.

$18 at Steam

Conquest Dark

Release date: April 30Platforms: Windows PCThis action RPG is sort of like Vampire Survivors mixed with Diablo. You pick a character and start mowing down enemies until you level up and gain new powers. The creator of the game even said they were inspired to make it because they had nothing to do in between Diablo and Path of Exile seasons.

$10 at Steam

Among Us 3D

Release date: May 6Platforms: Windows PCNothing good will come of trying to lie to your friends in a 3D version of the social deception game. Its the Among Us you know, but transformed into a whole different experience as you move through the ship in third-person view.

$0 at Steam

The Midnight Walk

Release date: May 8Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PCThis is a game made out of clay and animated in stop-motion style. Nothing about it is cute, though. The monsters you have to hide from crawl and screech as they look for you, and frankly, Im too scared for that. But maybe you wont be.

$40 at PlayStation$40 at Steam

Doom: The Dark Ages

Release date: May 15Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series XRip and tear, folks. Doom is back with a prequel set in medieval times. There are guns, but theres also a “Shield Saw” that does exactly what you think it does. Hell isnt ready for what youre going to get up to in this one.

$70 at PlayStation$70 at Steam$70 at Xbox

Onimusha 2: Samurais Destiny

Release date: May 23Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox OneHeres a remake of a classic action game that is known for having tons of depth in how you approach combat. There are multiple characters and different combo attacks to pull off. Its not a Soulslike, but its certainly close.

$30 at Nintendo$30 at PlayStation$30 at Steam

to a T

Release date: May 28Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series XThe creator of Katamari Damacy has a new game about a boy stuck in a T-pose. Its a quirky adventure game where you try to solve everyday issues while stuck in a ridiculous pose.

Elden Ring Nightreign

Release date: May 30Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series XIts time for the Tarnished to team up. This is a co-op spinoff of Elden Ring where you drop onto a map and fight monsters before a circle closes in on you. The whole thing moves at a much faster pace than FromSoftwares previous games, which allows for some dramatic battles against bosses new and old.

F1 25

Release date: May 30Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series XCodemasters latest entry in the long-running F1 video game series promises big changes to the My Team mode, a tie-in with the upcoming F1 movie, more accurate tracks, and (perhaps most excitingly) a new chapter in one of the best story modes sports games have to offer.
