Should you find yourself overwhelmed by the numerous games scheduled for April, prepare yourself for an equally intense gaming experience in May. Among the highlights are a much-anticipated first-person shooter, indie platformers, action-adventure titles that have been eagerly awaited, and even a rogue-like action RPG that everyone else seems to be yearning to play. To top it off, there’s a Gundam game thrown in for good measure. Be sure to explore 14 of the most highly anticipated games set to launch in May 2025.
The Midnight Walk
In simple terms, “The Midnight Walk” is an exciting claymation adventure set in a mysterious dark fantasy world. Your mission is to safeguard a special being and its light from terrifying creatures lurking in the shadows. Despite any doubts you might have, this game presents a compelling storyline. It consists of five thrilling episodes featuring nerve-wracking chases, brain-teasing puzzles, stealth sequences, and stunning visuals that will leave you in awe. Mark your calendars as “The Midnight Walk” is set to debut on May 8th, available on PS5, PC, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR platforms.
Spirit of the North 2
In the sequel to the less-frequently discussed predecessor, titled “Spirit of the North 2“, players once more embark on a journey through a visually stunning open landscape, this time in the form of a fox. The objective is to purify the guardians and vanquish Grimnir, a malevolent shaman. Each ecosystem offers a wealth of hidden secrets, such as potent runes and abilities. For those preferring a more relaxed journey, “Spirit of the North 2” will be available starting May 8th on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5.
The Precinct
If you enjoyed American Fugitive’s retro-style Grand Theft Auto experience, then take a look at The Precinct! Unlike American Fugitive, where you played as an outlaw, in The Precinct, you become a law enforcement officer in Averno City. Your tasks vary from issuing traffic tickets to chasing down suspects in thrilling high-speed pursuits. With a wide range of criminal activities, the option to call for backup, and a dynamic open world, The Precinct could capture the essence of its predecessor when it releases on May 13th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
DOOM: The Dark Ages
It’s likely that this month’s most anticipated release, “DOOM: The Dark Ages,” represents id Software’s largest campaign to date. This game is jam-packed with new weapons, tools, terrifying foes (even those of cosmic horror), and innovative mechanics. With the open-ended design of certain levels, countless secrets to discover, a stronger emphasis on storytelling through polished cutscenes, more demanding difficulty settings, and an exceptional gameplay loop, it has the potential to become a classic. The Dark Ages kick off on May 15th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, also accessible through Game Pass.
RoadCraft
Following the MudRunner series by Saber Interactive, titled Expeditions, the franchise is venturing into a new path with RoadCraft. In this game, you’ll find yourself working as part of a disaster recovery team operating heavy machinery. Your tasks include fixing bridges and roads, clearing debris, and performing numerous other duties to ensure a successful rescue operation. There are more than 40 vehicles to operate, eight maps to explore, and the best feature is that you can collaborate with up to three other players in this open-world game. RoadCraft is set to launch on May 20th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Battle Destiny Remastered
Gundam games can sometimes be unpredictable, but their unexpected elements make them exciting. The upcoming release from Bandai Namco is a remastered version of the Japan-exclusive PS Vita title, “Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny.” This new version features improved visuals, difficulty levels, control options, and an updated user interface. However, the core gameplay remains the same, as players progress through missions based on the anime, engage in intense battles, and acquire new suits. It’s scheduled for release on May 22nd for both PC and Nintendo Switch.
Blades of Fire
In the spirit of games like “Severance: Blade of Darkness”, Blades of Fire stands out as something more than just a sequel, offering Souls-like gameplay, an expansive fantasy setting to traverse, and intricate blacksmithing mechanics. Set for release on May 22nd across Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, players assume the role of Aran, who embarks on a journey through the realm, fighting against Queen Nerea’s forces to bring an end to her oppressive rule. This involves crafting your own weapons, fine-tuning stats according to your chosen playstyle, discovering new recipes, and employing strategic tactics when confronting specific enemies.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny
Following the high-definition resurrection of “Onimusha: Warlords”, it’s now time for its sequel to step up. Jubei’s adventure through Feudal Japan will maintain the same level of difficulty upon its release on May 23rd for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. For those who prefer a harder experience, there’s Hell Mode where one hit is lethal. Additionally, players can now access mini-games from the start; auto-save has been implemented; and you can now decide when to activate the Onimusha form.
Deliver At All Costs
Without Konami’s involvement, “Deliver At All Costs” appears to be an exhilarating action game brimming with chaos and an outstanding ambiance. As Winston Green, a delivery driver, you’ll transport assorted peculiar items (even bombs!) using whatever methods are at your disposal. You can pilot diverse vehicles or traverse on foot, race through entirely destructible cityscapes, and dodge furious residents across three Acts in the year 1959. “Deliver At All Costs” will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC on May 22nd, and it will also be offered free of charge on the Epic Games Store for a week.
Elden Ring Nightreign
In a surprising twist, only a handful of game developers could switch from creating a highly successful open-world Souls-like RPG to a spin-off featuring battle royale and rogue-like elements, but FromSoftware is one such exception. The upcoming title, Nightreign, transports you to an alternate dimension of Limgrave called Limveld. Over the course of three days and nights, you’ll encounter numerous bosses, dodge a shifting ring of death, and engage in intense Souls-like combat. Despite being an online game, its challenging gameplay remains distinctively FromSoftware, offering a hardcore action experience when it releases on May 30th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC.
Revenge of the Savage Planet
In the continuation of “Journey to the Savage Planet”, your objective becomes clear: Aim for retribution against ruthless corporate leaders. This time around, there are a variety of planets to discover, filled with diverse locations, plant life, animal species, and much more. Cooperation with another player is fully supported as well. With fresh equipment and expanded exploration possibilities, “Revenge of the Savage Planet” aims to build upon everything that made the first game stand out. It’s set for release on May 8th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
F1 25
Each year brings its expected lineup of EA games, and F1 25 from Codemasters is no different. While it’s yet to be seen how the overall experience will pan out, given last year’s controversial handling adjustments, Braking Point reappears with enhanced player control and dramatic elements, and My Team 2.0 introduces new Owner Privileges for increased specialization. F1 25 is set to release on May 30th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, allowing ample time for further information.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master
If Tokyo Xtreme Racer didn’t satisfy your racing cravings, you might want to check out JDM: Japanese Drift Master. This game is set to release on May 21st for PC and offers an immersive experience into Japan’s street racing culture with a vast open world (complete with changing weather patterns and day/night cycles). You can customize real-world car brands extensively, and let’s not forget the thrilling drifting scenes. The game also features a captivating story told through manga spanning over 40 events.
