Sure, let’s dive into the chaos of what’s coming next week on Xbox, because apparently, that’s a thing now. So, you’ll see a bunch of new games on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC—you know, the usual suspects. Oh, and Game Pass too, if you’re into that. Let’s ramble through this list, shall we?
Age of Empires II: DE – The Three Kingdoms (Console and PC) – May 6
Okay, if you’re into epic tales and legends battling it out, this is your jam. It’s got this whole Romance of the Three Kingdoms vibe going on—like, it’s a big deal in China with Shu, Wei, and Wu duking it out in all their glory. And hey, two new civilizations: Jurchens and Khitans. Sounds kinda exotic, right?
King Arthur: Legion IX – May 6
Imagine you’re thrown into some twisted Arthurian myth. NeocoreGames is bringing you a tactical RPG—it’s dark, it’s fantasy, and it’s on Xbox Series X|S. Brand new story, brand new heroes. Maybe try it if you like tales with grim twists? Or not, I mean, it’s up to you.
Metal Eden – May 6
Picture this: Hyper Unit Aska, a city named Moebius—not to be confused with the Mobius strip, though in my mind they’re kinda similar—and it’s this city turned into a death trap. There are Engineers to confront. It’s just cybernetic chaos everywhere. Why does that sound like a scene from a sci-fi movie I once got bored during?
Bartender Hustle – May 7
Now, this is where things get fun. You want to be a top-notch bartender without the sticky hands? This game gives you that chance to shine in various bars and lounges. Pouring drinks with style and ease—sounds cooler than it probably is in real life, right?
Submarine Survivor – May 7
Imagine having to face down terrifying sea creatures. I mean, I thought sharks were bad, but this takes underwater adventure to another level. It’s all about becoming the “Lord of the Ocean”—not that it makes any sense to me. Customizable upgrades for submarines, though. Fancy, huh?
Empyreal – May 8
Expedition, ancient monoliths, automatons. Got lost just saying that. But if you’re keen on action RPGs where you explore strange galaxies and chat with remnants of lost civilizations, this could be a thrilling ride. Or a confusing one, take your pick.
Penguin Flight: Beyond the Clouds – May 8
Ah, penguins, defying gravity—in a game, obviously. A 2D platformer where you tackle tricky obstacles. Kinda reminds me of that one time I tried ice skating. Spoiler: I totally bit it. But anyway, this seems like a fun little diversion.
Revenge of the Savage Planet – May 8
You’re dumped off in some corner of space, probably wishing for a beach instead. Lots of exploring, upgrading, etc. Outwit corporate greed and such. Almost feels like a metaphor for real life, and don’t we just love those?
Spirit of the North 2 – May 8
A fox and a wise Raven buddy in a world needing some serious hero action. Trot through ruins, free guardians, battle the dark shaman Grimnir. Sounds kinda cinematic, actually. Could be relaxing? Or not. What do I know?
The Abandoned Planet – May 8
If you’re into puzzles and pixel art, well, here’s something for you. Wish I could recommend this more, but I keep thinking of Myst and losing interest mid-thought. Sorry, not sorry.
Truck Simulator Cargo Driver 2025 – USA – May 8
Feel like hitting the open road? Living the trucker life vicariously here. It’s all about that hauling—and yeah, here’s hoping your cargo doesn’t fall off. But hey, it’s just a game, right?
AMAZE! – May 9
This is your cozy, puzzle-solving chill time. Move the ball, paint the maze—you know, the relaxing kind of stuff. Sounds simple enough, but I’m guessing it’s trickier than my grandma makes it seem.
Eyes: The Horror Game – May 9
Navigating haunted spots and avoiding traps? Oh yeah, horror enthusiasts, this one’s screaming your names. Collecting runes and predicting movements of… whatever haunts you. Halloween came early, I guess.
And there you have it. Dive into these worlds if you dare—or, you know, play it safe and stick with something familiar like… knitting.
