Better late than never, here are some of the biggest games launching in May 2025 on console and PC as players gear up for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the coming weeksTech09:53, 09 May 2025More Elden Ring? We'll take it(Image: FromSoftware Inc.)We're well into May, and we'll be honest, this rundown of the biggest games of the month is delayed because we've been besieged by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered.That's on top of a 2025 library of games that includes time-sinks like Civilization VII and Monster Hunter Wilds, huge adventures such as Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Assassin's Creed Shadows, and much, much more.‌May isn't slowing down, though, bringing with it the "rip and tear" of DOOM, the fiendish card-battling of Monster Train 2, a multiplayer Elden Ring title and F1 25.‌Here's everything you can check out this month.The bigger they are...2016's DOOM reboot set the franchise on a new path, mixing old and new with undeniable style, while DOOM Eternal amped up the movement.Article continues belowThis latest entry is a prequel, and you'll likely be pleased to know it's all about the combat this time around, with new weapons and abilities like the throwable Shield Saw."It would have been easy for the team at ID to just rehash what worked so well from 2016 onwards, but DOOM: The Dark Ages takes some wild swings," we said in our preview.We're going to be playing this for years to come(Image: Shiny Shoe/Big Fan Games)‌Not played Monster Train? You need to fix that, pronto. It's an extension of the card-based roguelite formula that Slay The Spire so deftly laid down, and it's so moreish that we're still playing regularly years after launch.With that in mind, we're more than a little concerned about how Monster Train 2 will eat up our free time when it arrives this month, especially since it'll be playable on Steam Deck from the jump.Elden Ring Nightreign was one of The Game Awards' biggest surprises(Image: FromSoftware Inc.)‌Elden Ring already had co-op, but Nightreign is built from the ground up to be played with friends. Players drop into a new map, loading up on items, gear, and XP to be able to take on big bosses after a couple of in-game days.It sounds like a really fresh idea, and preview coverage has been popular. We're particularly keen to see how it develops over time, given FromSoft isn't known for its multiplayer nous.Ready for another season?(Image: EA)Article continues belowAlso launching on May 30 (although available from the 27th with the Iconic Edition), F1 25 brings back the dramatic Braking Point story mode.It also offers a huge revamp for My Team, while the team at Codemasters has been scanning tracks on real-life race weekends to add even more detail.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌
