Games coming out in May 2025 - Elden Ring Nightreign, Doom Dark Ages and more

With the Switch 2 launching in June and GTA 6 supposedly launching this autumn, 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for the gaming industry.

Even the traditionally quiet month of May is packed with fantastic game releases thanks to the likes of Doom: The Dark Ages and Elden Ring Nightreign.

If you're wondering what to spend your money on this month, then Express.co.uk has put together a list of some of the biggest new releases coming in the month of May.

If it's anywhere near as fun as its predecessors then fans should be in for a treat. It's also coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one, which is another compelling reason to subscribe.

It's described as a "condensed action RPG", where players will never experience the same journey twice.

There's a roguelike element to the game, with players earning relics to to customise and upgrade their characters for future runs and increase stats.

Judging by the trailer, we'll also get enemies and characters from other FromSoftware releases, including Dark Souls 3.

It's not the FromSoftware game most of us wanted, but it could be a fun distraction while we wait for whatever the studio comes up with next.
