Game Releases May 2025: Something for Everyone
A preliminary assessment of May’s game launches might suggest a slower month, but the absence of consecutive role-playing games (RPGs) provides a welcome pause. Although packed with fewer major titles, the month still offers a diverse array of releases perfect for multiplayer adventures with friends.
The month kicks off with “Among Us 3D” for larger group dynamics, while “Revenge of the Savage Planet” and “Elden Ring Nightreign” offer more intimate cooperative experiences. Despite the disappointment of the “Dune: Awakening” delay extending its release into June, the adjustment allows for better scheduling. (And it may help avoid potential “Doom/Dune confusion.”)
