Computer games: they just keep making more of them. At the start of each month, we sift through the upcoming PC betas and game releases and pick out the most interesting of them—May's list is below, starting with a beta test you might not want to miss.
For a full picture of the year in PC gaming, check out our complete guide to 2023's new games. Next month is the traditional month of E3, which can sometimes be a little short on new games, but not so this year, with Diablo 4 and Street Fighter 6 both launching in June. Granted, E3 technically isn't happening this year, although that's not stopping publishers from scheduling big showcases.
Diablo 4 "Server Slam" | May 12-14 Blizzard wants us to beat up on its servers one more time, which in practical terms probably means sitting in a queue for a bit, but I appreciate the effort to make it exciting. This is another chance to get the previous beta rewards, plus one new one.
Men of War 2 open beta | May 12-14 Diablo not your thing? Well here's another old fashioned PC gaming experience to try in beta: a WW2 RTS with both PvP and PvE multiplayer. There'll also be three singleplayer/co-op missions to try.
May's big PC release dates
Redfall | May 1
Alright, "excited" might not be the right word here—Robin wasn't impressed by Arkane's open-world vampire shooter back in March, so we're not getting our hopes up, but we are interested to see how it lands.
Age of Wonders 4 | May 2
We've already reviewed Age of Wonders 4, and good news: It rules! Fraser called the fantasy strategy game "a flavorful and inventive 4X full of incredible spells and engaging empire management."
Darkest Dungeon 2 | May 8
A "roguelike road trip of the damned" and the sequel to one of our favorite games of 2016, leaving early access. Guide your heroes through turn-based combat encounters and watch as they grow into hopeless, dysfunctional people!
Amnesia: The Bunker | May 23
The first of the Amnesia horror games to include a gun. But there's only one, and you have to load bullets one by one, and shooting the monster? That just makes it mad. Read more in Morgan's preview.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum | May 25
Gollum isn't the first LotR character I'd have picked to make a game about, but creepy little goblin guy stealth did work pretty well in Styx: Master of Shadows, so maybe that's just a genre now. (Note: I know Gollum's not a goblin please don't email me.)
System Shock | May 30
A remake of the classic 1994 immersive sim from Looking Glass, the most legendary maker of stealthy first-person PC games. The remake comes from Nightdive, which previously remastered the System Shocks.
