Whether you’re gearing up for the medievalDOOM: The Dark Ages, playing throughElden Ring Nightreignwith friends in a fresh roguelike format, or building decks as you journey through Hell inMonster Train 2, May is packed with options for every type of gamer.

A New Dimension of Sus

Release Date:August 11, 2025

It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years since the originalAmong Ustook the internet by storm during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the game is making a promising return to the spotlight withAmong Us 3D, a first-person, three-dimensional reimagining of the beloved social deduction game.

The game features a mix of classic and new mini-games, all from a fresh first-person perspective. One particularly exciting addition is proximity voice chat—a feature that was sorely missing from the originalAmong Us.

Based on the trailers,Among Us 3Dseems to me more like an adaptation of the 2022Among Us 3D: VRrather than a proper first-person experience, but at least you don’t need a VR headset to experience it. It’s shaping up to be like a more polished and objective-oriented version ofVRChat, and honestly, I’m all here for it.

An Equal Parts Charming and Terrifying Stop-Motion Nightmare

Release Date:July 02, 2025

Ever since the days of the fantastic 2D puzzle-platformerLIMBO, I’ve been itching for a game that blends charm with the macabre. It’s a strange combination, butThe Midnight Walknails it. On top of that, it makes fantastic use of stop-motion animation, which is just the icing on the cake. In many ways, it feels like a more adult and grotesque video game version of Henry Selick’s 2009 filmCoraline.

In this first-person game, you play as the Burnt One. Accompanied by your quirky yet eerie companion Potboy, you embark on a fantasy adventure filled with grotesque monsters. You battle, evade, and escape as you explore the dark, ominous environments of the world around you.

Slay Demons in Medieval Hell

Release Date:Jun 20, 2025

DOOM: The Dark Agesis the long-awaited prequel toDOOM 2016andDOOM Eternal, set in an epic medieval reimagining ofDOOM’s Hell. If it’s even half as good as its predecessors, it’s going to be incredible.

You step back into the shoes of DOOM Slayer (affectionately known as Doomguy) and wage a war against the legions of Hell using a unique mix ofDOOM’s iconic firearms, like the Super shotgun, along with all-new medieval weaponry. Another exciting addition is the introduction of controllable vehicles, including a dragon and a massive mech.

Capcom’s Classics Return for a New Generation

Capcom Fighting Collection 2is a collection of eight old-school Capcom arcade fighting games, includingCapcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro,Power Stone 1and2, andProject Justice. As the second entry in the series, this collection features slightly newer titles compared to those in the firstCapcom Fighting Collection.

Whether you’re revisiting these games for a hit of nostalgia or are playing them for the first time, this collection of 2D and 3D fighting games is a must-have for fans of the genre. Each game includes full online and local multiplayer support, allowing you to compete against friends or match similarly skilled opponents online.

Take Your Deck on the Last Train to Hell

Release Date:July 07, 2025

Monster Train 2is the sequel to the 2020 roguelike deckbuilderMonster Train. As you ride on a train through Heaven, Hell, and the Abyss, you construct, upgrade, and refine your deck throughout the run to take down increasingly more powerful enemies. The sequel builds on the first game with new content and features, including new cards, clans, and game modes.

If you loveBalatroas much as we do here at How-To Geek, you’ll definitely want to giveMonster Train 2a shot when it comes out (or try the demo, which is already available on Steam). And if you’re short on time, you can skip the firstMonster Trainand jump straight into the new and improved sequel!

Your Cozy Dream Life Is Now Just a Moment Away

While PC gamers have plenty ofcozy indie gamesto choose from, there hasn’t been anything quite as polished and feature-rich asAnimal Crossingon PC—until now.Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Timeis set to change that.

This casual RPG lets you choose from a range of different jobs (called “Lives”), team up with up to three other players, explore an open world, and build houses and objects to transform the deserted island into a thriving home. After two delays in 2023 and 2024,Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Timeis finally launching on May 21st.

Forge Your Sword and Test It in Battle

Release Date:July 22, 2025

MercurySteam, the video game development team behindCastlevania: Lords of ShadowandMetroid Dread, is back with an exciting new action-adventure calledBlades of Fire. What makes this game special is that your character’s strength is entirely tied to your weapon.

Queen Nerea’s spell has turned steel into stone, allowing only her legions to wield true weapons. Fortunately, your character, Aran de Lira, is a blacksmith who can craft new blades — something you’ll constantly do in this game. Between the unique forging system and in-combat weapon sharpening, there’s a lot to master before you can take down the Queen.

Reclaim Your Honor in Remastered Glory

Release Date:August 06, 2025

This is our second Capcom entry for the month, and it’s a remaster of a beloved PS2 classic that originally released in 2002—Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. It’s the long-awaited remastered sequel toOnimusha: Warlords, which itself was re-released back in 2019.

In this action-adventure, you play as Jubei Yagyu, a samurai on a quest for revenge in a captivating Feudal Japan. The remaster is a great way to re-experience this classic, as it updates the game with HD graphics and modernized controls while preserving the core gameplay that made it special.

Even More Elden Ring, Now as a Multiplayer Roguelike

Release Date:July 09, 2025

Elden Ringis undoubtedly the bestSoulsbornegame that FromSoftware has released so far (which is why itsold 30 million copies), so it’s exciting to see even more content arriving after theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC.

This time, we’re getting a standalone entry withElden Ring Nightreign, and it has the potential to deliver the best, most exciting content yet. It’s a 3-player co-op roguelike set in a procedurally generated area. While you may play it solo, the experience is best enjoyed with a full team—plan ahead before it releases on May 30th.

New Season, New Racing Icons

F1is the official Formula One racing video game series. It features a new release each year with updated driver and team rosters, new and refreshed tracks, and occasional graphical and gameplay improvements here and there.
