2024 was a big year for gaming, full of long-awaited releases and major hits. But guess what? 2025 isn’t slowing down one bit!
We’ve already kicked off the year with some heavy-hitters like Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Civilization VII, and Assasin’s Creed Shadows. Now, as May rolls in, things are heating up even more. The upcoming month is stacked with exciting new games — and they cover a wide range of genres.
So, what can we expect in May? Let’s dive into the highlights!
May 6 – Among Us 3D
| Release date: | 2025-05-06 |
| Genres: | Indie |
| Developer | Innersloth |
When Among Us launched back in 2018, it quickly stole the hearts of gamers everywhere. Now, the beloved social deduction game is getting a whole new look — and perspective.
Say goodbye to flat 2D visuals and top-down views, and get ready for a fully immersive 3D experience! The game introduces new modes, proximity voice chat, and a set of fresh minigames. Expectations? Sky-high. Fans are excited to experience the chaos (and the betrayal) in an entirely new dimension.
May 13 – The Precinct
| Release date: | 2025-05-13 |
| Genres: | Indie/Shooter |
| Developer | Fallen Tree Games Limited |
Step into a neon-soaked noir action game set in early 1980s USA. You play as a rookie cop patrolling a gritty open-world city filled with procedurally generated crimes.
Solve cases, chase down criminals on foot or in a sleek cop car, and rise through the ranks. With its blend of detective thriller vibes, engaging mechanics, and stylish retro visuals, The Precinct is shaping up to be a sleeper hit.
May 14 – DOOM: The Dark Ages
| Release date: | 2025-05-13 |
| Genres: | Shooter |
| Developer | id Software |
Who doesn’t love DOOM? This iconic FPS franchise, born in the ’90s, is returning — but this time, we’re going medieval.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to the 2016 reboot, taking place in a brutal, semi-medieval world. Expect new monsters, a brand-new arsenal, a gritty setting, and that signature fast-paced action. Fans are hungry for a fresh twist on the legendary series — and this one’s got potential written all over it.
May 20 - RoadCraft
| Release date: | 2025-05-20 |
| Genres: | Adventure & Simulator |
| Developer | Saber Interactive |
Heavy machinery meets semi-postapo? That’s the unusual but intriguing premise of RoadCraft. Hop behind the wheel of massive construction vehicles and rebuild structures destroyed by disasters.
It’s a treat for fans of simulators, building mechanics, and — let’s be honest — giant trucks. If you love games like SnowRunner or Construction Simulator, this premiere might just be your next obsession.
May 22 - Blades of Fire
| Release date: | 2025-05-22 |
| Genres: | Fantasyt RPG |
| Developer | Mercury Steam |
A fantasy RPG with a twist — your greatest weapon… is literally the one you forge. Blades of Fire features dynamic combat, a rich narrative, and a unique crafting system where blacksmithing is front and centre.
Ever dreamed of being both a warrior and a smith in a medieval fantasy world? Now’s your chance. With developer MercurySteam’s strong track record, expectations are running high for this premiere.
May 30 - Elden Ring: Nightreign
| Release date: | 2025-05-30 |
| Genres: | RPG |
| Developer | FromSoftware |
FromSoftware isn’t done with Elden Ring just yet. After last year’s massive Shadow of the Erdtree, we’re now getting a spin-off: Nightreign.
Play solo or in co-op as a Nightfarer, surviving a mysterious 3-day cycle and facing terrifying new bosses in a dark and unknown realm. New enemies, new mechanics, and that unmistakable Elden Ring tone — grim, atmospheric, and intense. If you’re craving more torment (and triumph), this one’s for you.
Noteworthy Indie Titles – May 2025
May 8 – Pixelshire
A cosy life sim that’s sure to charm fans of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. Pixelshire combines farming, town-building, crafting, exploration, and light adventuring — all wrapped in adorable pixel art. Pure serotonin.
May 28 – To a T
This quirky narrative adventure follows a teenager stuck in a “T” pose… permanently. Yes, really. But as you guide him through daily life, it turns out this strange condition might be more of a gift than a curse. From the brilliant and bizarre mind of Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy), expect heart, humour, and a whole lot of weird.
May 29 – BitCraft Online
This MMO blends exploration, farming, and community-driven world-building. In BitCraft, you won’t just be playing with others — you’ll need to cooperate to rebuild civilization. It’s a refreshing take on the genre, with a focus on creativity and collaboration over combat.
Conclusion
As you can see, May 2025 is stacked with variety. From massive AAA releases to cosy indies; high-octane action to slow-paced town-building — there’s something for everyone.
All the listed games will be available on Steam at launch, and some will also make their way to consoles. So… which ones are on your radar? Is your next favourite game hidden among these titles? We’ll find out soon enough!
