8 Exciting PlayStation Games Releasing in May, Including James Bond and Batman

Both the weather and the gaming action look like they will be heating up in May for PlayStation users. 

The next installment in the James Bond series of games, Batman and Warhammer 40,000 are just three of more than half a dozen games coming this month to liven up your system. 

Something for everyone on Playstation in May 

First of all, don’t forget three free games are set to drop for PlayStation Plus subscribers on May 5: EA Sports FC 26, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Nine Sols. 

For those who are not subscribed to Playstation Plus (or just not moved by any of the three free games becoming available), something completely different is set to drop May 7 in Mixtape, which is billed as a “narrative adventure game” that allows players to take high school friends through their final days before adulthood. 

They’ll do that through music from acts like Devo, Joy Division, and Siouxsie and the Banshees that is sure to stir up fond memories not just for the people in the screen but those holding the controller. 

(That is also available on Steam as well as for Nintendo Switch 2 and XBOX Series X|S.) 

Big name games later in the month

The best could be saved for last as OO7 First Light is set to drop May 27, five days after LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight. 

007 First Light is a highly anticipated stealth shooting game that presents a new origin story for James Bond that is set to bring both nostalgia (GoldenEye 007, anyone?) and exciting new perspective  from the makers of the Hitman series. 

In this one, a younger version of the famous British spy gets his very first mission, but this is not a trip back to the ‘50s or 60s when the first Bond films were released. This game is set in the modern day with the Double O program getting revived. 

LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight is scheduled to be released May 22 for all major systems and puts fans in position to solve puzzles and control famous DC Comics heroes in both single-player and multiplayer modes. 

What else is coming in May? 

In between Mixtape and the LEGO Batman game, five more titles are set to drop. 

First comes Directive 8020, a supernatural horror game, followed by the open-world exploration game Outbound. 

The third week of May will see Coffee Talk Tokyo, Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks and Bubsy 4D. 

Coffee Talk Tokyo offers an opportunity you never knew you needed: To be a barista acting as an amateur therapist for humans and fantasy people (including some who are no longer alive) in a coffee shop in Japan. 

Bubsy 4D is one more shot of nostalgia as the bobcat who debuted on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis in 1993 is back for his seventh game. This one is a 3D platform action game. 

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is a combat racing game featuring buggies, tanks, helicopters, customizable courses and more.
