The biggest games that release in May 2025

This month’s release calendar is not as explosive as in recent months, with titles such as Kingdom Come Deliverance II, Civilization VII, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, among others.

And some of them are large enough that you may still play them.

But that does not mean that May has no interesting releases. There are a few controversial here, together with a few smaller games that should not be missed.

The biggest game this month is Doom: The Dark Ages, who bridges the gap between Doom 64 and Doom (2016).

Dark Ages takes the murderer back in time to an era before Space-Age weapons. That does not mean that the weapons here are boring. There is a gun that crushes demon skulls.

But there is also a new game from the mind behind Katamari Damacy, a multiplayer takes one of the best games of 2022, and heroes that we traditionally associate with action that is taken down the tactical route. We’re going to have a lot of To play this month.

The midnight walk

Release date: May 8
Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5

This adventure game is only worth it for art, if nothing else.

The team carefully modeled the environments and monsters from real-life clay and animated them in the style of Stop-Motion movies.

The art is horrible and creepy, just like we hope. The look evokes ghostly stop-motion animation, such as the nightmare for Christmas and the crazy God of Phil Tippett, and every image and video look fantastic.

Revenge of the wild planet

Release date: May 8
Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S

This action game of the third person is the follow -up to the Savage Planet. But now, you are abandoned by your business rulers and you have to scrape, survive and build your way back to take revenge in this satirical sci-fi adventure.

You can play cooperative on platforms or with your favorite fellow gamer there on the couch. What’s not fun?

Doom: The Dark Ages

Release date: May 15
Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S

Doom: The Dark Ages takes us back in time, but not at the expense of pleasure. You will not be stuck with boring old swords, despite the name.

As the Slayer you have a throwable shield with rotating blades, a gun that crushes and fires demon skulls, and a giant club to bump through enemies in the old -fashioned way.

This game bridges the fiction between Doom 64 and Doom (2016), because yes, the Doom games have a continuous story if you want to be concerned with such things.

You can go inside and stop the fear of the Doomslayer anywhere in the hearts of demons without worrying too much about it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown

Release date: May 22
Platforms: PC (Steam)

One of the things that most TMNT games struggle with is that they are action games with one player, which means that you have to choose a favorite turtle and only have to fight with your brothers by your side.

Tactical Takedown is the first match to place the turtles in a tactical game, and one of the few with which you can bring the fraternal companionship to life while you fight against enemies such as the Voetclan, Muisers and other new threats at 20 levels.

Finally, we can experience real turtle power.

Onimsuha 2: Samurai’s destination

Release date: May 28
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), PS4, Xbox One

In the early 2000s, Capcom brought us Opimusha, a series that combined the undead fights by Resident Evil with the sensitivities of the Japanese Samurai. More than just ‘Resident Evil With Swords’, Onimusha has established his own identity as a unique style of action game.

A New Onimusha -game Is on the way, and that means it’s time to get the old again for our eyeballs.

You don’t have to play Opimusha 1 and 2 to understand onimusha: way of the sword, but if you still remember well, this remaster should give you everything you are looking for.

To a t

Release date: April 8
Platforms: PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox series X

Keita Takahashi, maker of the Katamari Damacy games, is not satisfied to re -play his hits, even if they are re -published on any possible gaming platform.

He always does new things that are meant to push the boundaries of gaming or at least just become strange. Too at is a narrative adventure game about a 13-year-old child who lives in a coastal city and just tries to navigate.

The turn is that this teenager is stuck in a T-pose, the standard posture for drawing models for video games, and you have to navigate, do things in your way, whether stroking a dog, brushing your teeth or getting through doors.

Keep it up, Keita, never stop strange.

Elden Ring: Nightreign

Release date: May 30
Platforms: PC (Steam), PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox series X

If you didn’t pay attention, don’t let you overwhelm you.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a cooperative game with three players with a roguelike structure, where you and two friends or strangers will detect a boss of your choice for three in-game days with the help of predetermined characters.

It is not a follow -up, and it is not a DLC, and it is not really like any other game developed by Van. But it still looks like an explosion and a must-play for fans of games.
