Early in the month, you can lose yourself in a stop‑motion nightmare. Mid‑month offers brutal prequel action. Later on, classic samurai combat returns and quirky indie charm arrives. Finally, blockbuster co‑op and racing titles close out the month. Read on for detailed previews of each release and get ready to mark your calendars.
The Midnight Walk (May 8, PS5)
Step into a handcrafted world of claymation horror in The Midnight Walk. Revealed as a stop‑motion survival title, this game pits you against grotesque creatures that skitter and screech through dim corridors. Its unique visuals blend childlike artistry with genuine terror. As you navigate each scene, sound cues and low‑lighting amplify tension. This title promises an unnerving atmosphere that horror fans won’t want to miss.
Doom: The Dark Ages (May 15, PS5)
Doom: The Dark Ages reimagines the iconic shooter in a medieval setting. Here, traditional firearms meet brutal melee weapons like the “Shield Saw,” a vicious circular blade that tears through enemies. The game retains the franchise’s signature fast‑paced combat and “rip and tear” ethos while introducing armor classes inspired by knightly archetypes. Expect hordes of demonic foes and epic boss fights that demand both reflexes and tactics.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny (May 23, PS4 & PS5)
A polished remake of the classic samurai action game, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny returns on May 23 for PS4 and PS5. Players will experience multiple character perspectives and deep combo systems that reward mastery of swordplay and ranged attacks. Enhanced visuals and modernized controls bring this cult favorite to a new generation while preserving its challenging encounters and atmospheric feudal Japan setting.
to a T (May 28, PS5)
to a T offers a quirky adventure from the creator of Katamari Damacy. Released May 28, this indie title puts you in the shoes of a boy frozen in a perpetual T-pose. You’ll solve everyday puzzles—like fixing a leaky faucet or navigating a crowded subway—while hilariously stuck in this posture. The game’s charm lies in its absurd premise and inventive problem‑solving mechanics. Fans of offbeat humor and creative level design will find plenty to love here.
Elden Ring: Nightreign (May 30, PS4 & PS5)
The Elden Ring universe expands with Nightreign, a co‑op spin‑off landing May 30 on PS4 and PS5. In this fast‑paced battle royale style, up to four Tarnished drop into a map filled with perilous terrain and formidable bosses. As the safe zone shrinks, players must exploit both nimble combat and arcane sorceries to survive. This title blends the series’ trademark difficulty with multiplayer dynamics, offering fresh ways to challenge both new and veteran Souls players.
F1 25 (May 30, PS5)
Speed enthusiasts can rev their engines on May 30 when F1 25 arrives for PS5. Codemasters’ latest entry enhances the My Team mode, tying into the upcoming F1 feature film for an immersive narrative experience. Updated track layouts, more realistic physics, and expanded championship options promise a deeper simulation. Whether you’re drafting team strategies or battling in tight corners, F1 25 aims to deliver the most authentic Formula 1 racing yet.
