May 2023 game releases: Upcoming titles being released this month

There’s more than just the next Zelda game

May is just around the corner, and it looks packed with great video games to look forward to. The long-awaited sequel to one of the best games ever released will keep Switch owners busy for quite some time, while Xbox and PC gamers are getting a highly-anticipated co-op first-person shooter with vampires.

Strategy fans will be treated to a new Age of Wonders title, and a unique puzzle game − in which a dog herds human crowds to save them from falling into the abyss – is coming to PC and PlayStation, with support for VR headsets, including the PSVR2.

A Lord of the Rings game that got delayed several times is finally coming to most platforms, and a new augmented-reality pet game from the creators of Pokémon GO is due in May, too.

Plenty of titles to be excited about, so let’s have a look at the best games releasing in May 2023.
