We’re already four full months into 2026, which is kinda wild. It’s almost Summer Game Fest time, can you believe it??. And with April still fresh in our minds, May 2026 is coming with an absolutely massive slate of new games worth checking out.
We’re only just getting over the launch of Saros, but coming to us in the month ahead are some big AAA heavy hitters like IO Interactive’s fantastic-looking 007: First Light, the hugely-anticipated LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, or Nintendo’s next big Switch 2 hitter, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Plus there’s a whole ton of indie or smaller titles that deserve a ton of attention. I’m talking about Mixtape, I’m talking about Coffee Talk Tokyo, I’m talking about Call of the Elder Gods and oh so many more.
Seriously, how will anyone find time for all of this? Check out the (not even close to exhaustive) list of new games coming in May 2026 below:
