And just like that, we’re almost in the first half of the year! After a slew of titles last April like Stellar Blade, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, Sand Land, and much more, the May 2024 Game Releases highlight a healthy mix of highly anticipated titles and indies that can catch gamers by surprise.

Leading the pack is a narrative adventure, Until Then, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for our creative local game development scene. Other notables include promising twin sticker indie Hauntii, which we covered during last year’s Day of the Devs. Finally, The Thaumaturge publisher 11 Bit Studios is launching a creepy atmospheric horror titled Indika. If the demo is something to go by, it really gets under your skin.

The big release for the May 2024 Game Releases is Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. It’s been a while since we had a first-party launch for Xbox, and we hope this title doesn’t disappoint.

The rest of the month has other notable releases as well, including Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima on the PC and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for the Switch.
