The month of May is historically not that great a month for video game releases and announcements. That’s because many developers tend to hold off on major releases and save those for E3, which is usually held next month. However, We do have some interesting releases lined up this time around. Nintendo is set to release a follow-up to its critically acclaimed Breath of The Wild, called The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The horror series, Amnesia also has a new release lined up this month with Amnesia: The Bunker. If you prefer story-driven action games, then perhaps a return to Middle Earth is just what the doctor ordered thanks to the release of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.
So without further ado, let’s get started.
Games releasing in May 2023
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – May 12
Nintendo’s exclusive titles are usually great games. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was a real system seller for the Nintendo Switch during the console’s launch. It was very well-received and was a game-of-the-year contender. Tears of the Kingdom looks like it will offer users more of the same. So players will get to explore the vast open world of Hyrule and battle monsters and other forces of evil.
