11 new games we can’t wait to play in May

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The new game releases in May are some of the experiences we’ve 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.

We’ve been waiting to sink our teeth into these games, and luckily, they’re not all coming out in the same week. There’s time to slay demons in action RPG Conquest Dark before ripping and tearing in The Dark Ages. And some of the biggest games aren’t arriving until the end of the month, like F1 25. So, whether you’re still trying to crack open Blue Prince or counting down the days to Nightreign, you’ve 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 haven’t been announced yet. We will update this story when they have.]
