Coming up: The games of May 2021

It’s maybe the first huge month of 2021’s gaming calendar. Resident Evil Village is the main reason for that, though there’s much more coming too.

Enter the Village

We’ve had some decent releases so far here in 2021, though this month is looking like the biggest to date. It’s got a bunch of blockbusters included, though I don’t think there’s any as massive as Resident Evil Village.

Capcom’s 8th game in the core series, Village is once again an FPS adventure. It continues the storyline of Resident Evil: BioHazard, and throws in what looks to be werewolves and vampires in an Eastern European setting.

So what else arrives in May 2021? Well, how about Mass Effect Legendary Edition? Have you been awaiting Days Gone for the PC? How about Rust on consoles? Maybe Biomutant strikes a cord with you, or possibly the multiplayer-centric Hood?

See what I mean? There’s a lot of stuff other than Capcom’s newest fright-fest to play too. Looking for even more? Scroll down for the highlights.
