May 2022 video game releases offer a wide spread of genres and titles. From highly-anticipated indie games like Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising and Trek to Yomi, to games based on tabletop RPGs like Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters, there's a little something for everyone this month. The long-awaited Evil Dead: The Game is also releasing in May after a small delay earlier in 2022.
After a sleepy January and busy February of video game release dates, March maintained a fairly steady stream of new games across multiple genres while April slowed down slightly. The list of May 2022 video game releases may continue to grow throughout the month. However, for now, it looks to be mostly about indie games - as few AAA titles are coming out in May. Games expected for May 2022 - like Square Enix's Forspoken - were delayed until later in the year and many more AAA titles are waiting to release in the summer months instead.
Still, May 2022 video game releases aren't without a few highlights. Evil Dead: The Game may be the biggest name of the bunch and looks promising. It's not just Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters that's getting a release date in May 2022. Tabletop RPG fans can also look forward to Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong coming out on most available platforms. My Time At Sandrock, the sequel to the excellent My Time At Portia, is entering Early Access at the end of the month - on May 26. Meanwhile, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an action-RPG prequel to the turn-based Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that's releasing in 2023.
