Also in Distant Kingdoms, you need to explore the vast world and send troops in search of resources and treasures guarded by bloodthirsty monsters.
May 6 - Farm Manager 2021
Farm Manager Simulator was supposed to be released last month, but the developers decided to postpone the release, as the release of the game coincides with the start of another sale on Steam. Probably, the creators forgot that all farmers and lovers of village life will be busy with a biological threat in the next game on the list. The new part of Farm Manager has expanded significantly in terms of functionality. In addition to new types of plants, the game has the opportunity to breed fish, ostriches, wild boars and quails. Farm Manager lets you transform into a farm manager who needs to ensure a high yield, satisfy the needs of workers, as well as monitor the health of animals and the condition of equipment. By the way, the aforementioned workers also have needs, control their wages and work hours, and improve their skills to create the perfect team! And for bad managers, it is worth noting that disgruntled employees can leave the workplace or even harm the enterprise.
May 7 - Resident Evil 8: Village
In early May, one of the most anticipated games of 2021, Resident Evil Village, will be released. The eighth numbered part will continue the story of its predecessor, in which Ethan Winters saved his wife Mia from a biological threat, but not on his own, but with the help of Chris Redfield. But what exactly happened to Chris, and why he decided on the bloodthirsty actions shown in several trailers, we will find out on May 7th.
The action of Resident Evil Village will unfold in a mysterious village on the territory of Romania and Transylvania, where from the sights you will find a Gothic castle with vampires, a factory with werewolves, a dangerous lake, as well as the Donna Benevento mansion with Angie doll and the local deity - Mother Miranda. In addition, in the Village, as in RE4, there will be a charismatic merchant - the Duke, who will sometimes be found in mobile shops. By the way, after completing the story campaign, an additional mode “Mercenaries” will open.
Resident Evil Village releases May 7 on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S/X, and Xbox One. In addition, the developers announced that all owners of Resident Evil 8 will receive a multiplayer action Resident Evil Re:Verse in the summer.
May 7 - Papetura
On the same day as Resident Evil Village, the atmospheric quest Papetura will be released, inspired by Neverhood and Machinarium, as well as Studio Ghibli films and love for architecture and paper sculptures. Papetura will tell the story of a paper Pape who escaped from prison and met Tura, a magical creature that needs care and attention. Together they have to repel the dark forces that want to destroy their beloved paper world. In Papetura you will not see dialogues and various descriptions, here you will find a story told without a single word through animation and sounds.
May 10 - Hood: Outlaws & Legends
Sumo Digital Studio will delight fans of action role-playing games in the setting of the Middle Ages. On May 10, Hood: Outlaws & Legends, a PvPvE action game dedicated to the adventures of Robin Hood and his squad of noble robbers, will be released. Players will compete with each other for the opportunity to steal the precious treasure. The basis of the gameplay is the effective selection of various robbers with unique features, as well as the battle not only with other players, but also with representatives of the law.
Of course, it was not without the opportunity to distribute the loot. The player has the right to give money to ordinary people, after which he will receive recognition and increase the range of trading shops. At the same time, Hood: Outlaws & Legends will have a system of improvements that allows you to customize robbers for different situations. At launch, the game will have four classes and five extensive levels. The developers plan to support the project with free updates and various battle passes. The first expansion with a new character will be released shortly after release.

May 14 - Mass Effect Legendary Edition
The updated trilogy of Mass Effect Legendary Edition in mid-May will allow players to plunge into an unforgettable space adventure, and fans of the series to remember the bright moments from the past. The Legendary Edition will showcase a ton of improvements, as well as a unified Shepard that will have the same chosen appearance in all 3 installments. Also, the updated collection contains a comic "Mass Effect: Genesis", which will allow you to make important game decisions, in case you decide not to go through all the parts gradually.
The re-release improved the Galaxy at War system from Mass Effect 3, in which the galaxy prepares for the final battle with the Reapers. Now the readiness indicator of the galaxy is no longer affected by multiplayer activities, as they have been completely removed, so it will take more time to prepare for the final battle. For the sake of a successful outcome, you need to go through the first two parts, or completely clear everything in the third part.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition will release on May 14, 2021 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
May 14 - Subnautica: Below Zero
A standalone expansion to the original Subnautica is finally out of Steam Early Access after a year and a half. Players will have to go on an underwater expedition to the cold arctic region of the mysterious planet 4546B, which had previously experienced an outbreak of a dangerous virus. Below Zero takes place several years after the end of the main game. In an early version, the player played the role of a scientist sent to a research station to study alien artifacts, but the entire plot of Below Zero was completely rewritten, as the ending of the story did not match the style and intent of the game.
As in the first part, you have to explore the world, build dwellings, extract resources and, of course, survive in harsh conditions! The action of the game takes place not only in the mysterious depths, but also on the surface - on snow-capped peaks and in dangerous caves. Along with a full release on PC, Subnautica: Below Zero will release on May 14 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
May 18 - Days Gone on PC
If you are not tired of projects where the world is suffering from a global pandemic, then you should definitely pay attention to the release of Days Gone on PC. The updated version supports ultra-wide monitors and also has an unlocked frame rate. Visually, too, there were changes, the PC version has improved detail, increased draw distance, as well as a photo mode in ultra-high resolution.
Days Gone takes place a few years after the pandemic in the United States of America. Mercenary and biker Deacon St. John is trying to survive in the harsh realities, roaming the vast world on a bike.
May 19 - Aerial_Knight's Never Yield
Right after the biker simulator, the rhythmic side-scroller Aerial_Knight's Never Yield will be released, in which the mysterious Wally will try to escape from the impending threat. As you progress, players will gradually unravel the tangle of mysteries, along the way performing acrobatic stunts to overcome obstacles. The main thing is to catch the rhythm, and then the gameplay will do everything on its own.
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield will be released on May 19 on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5. A demo of the runner is currently available on Steam, showing the main features of the game.
May 25 - Biomutant
Towards the end of the month, a colorful action game with RPG Biomutant elements will be released. According to the creators, the project is a dynamic role-playing game in an open world that combines post-apocalypse, kung fu and fantasy. In Biomutant, players will be able to combine melee and ranged combat with mutant abilities.
The game world has an area of 8 by 8 kilometers. Vast biomes are filled with various activities, secrets and large furry creatures, and some of them can even be mounted.
Biomutant will release on May 25, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. If you choose a platform to buy a title, then it is better to wait a bit.

May 25 - Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster
Together with Biomutant, a re-release of the cult Japanese role-playing game, Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster, will be released. In addition to slightly tweaked graphics, the re-release will offer players a new gaming experience, thanks to new difficulty levels and free saves.
The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo inhabited by demons. The main character of Nocturne is an unnamed protagonist who has received demonic power. It is worth noting that Nocturne has nothing to do with previous games in the Megami Tensei series, but in terms of gameplay it is still the same familiar JRPG, where the player has to explore the world, start a dialogue with NPCs and fight dangerous opponents in turn-based battles.
The Japanese release of the re-release took place at the end of October of the previous year. The players were dissatisfied with the technical implementation of the project. The Western version of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster will release on May 25 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. All owners of the deluxe edition will have access to the cult game from May 21.
May 27 - Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground
For strategy fans, May also has in store the release of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground from the Gasket Games studio, which includes people from the notorious Relic Entertainment. Become the commander of one of the militant factions in the universe of Age of Sigmar, where immortal knights eradicate death in many worlds by controlling star dragons. The turn-based strategy will please not only lovers of long solo adventures, but also strategists who prefer battles with other players.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground releases May 27 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Far Cry 6
Rounding out our list is the highly anticipated adventure shooter. Far Cry 6, which, according to leaks, may come out in May. The new Far Cry will take players to another tropical paradise and allow them to become part of the resistance and fight back against the brutal actions of the local usurper of the banana republic. In addition to the tropical jungle and colorful coastline, Far Cry 6 will have a full-fledged city. Also, the developers promise the largest map in the history of the series.
The project was last highlighted on the Microsoft digital store website, where a new possible release date has appeared - May 26th. It is unlikely that such a large project will come out without a massive advertising campaign, but there is still hope.
On our pages you will find reviews and guides for the above games, which will appear on the site after the release of these games.
