As we delve into the gaming landscape of May, initial impressions might suggest a lull in activity, but a closer look reveals a vibrant array of releases and events on the horizon. While the absence of a relentless series of RPG launches may create an illusion of calm, the upcoming weeks promise an engaging selection for players eager to share experiences with friends.
Launching the month is Among Us 3D, designed to stir up friendly rivalries in larger groups. Following closely are titles like Revenge of the Savage Planet and Elden Ring Nightreign, both offering immersive co-op adventures. Although the delay of Dune: Awakening into June is disappointing, it does provide a more manageable schedule and helps to sidestep potential confusion with Doom.
