May was going to be spectacular on PS4 thanks to The Last of Us: Part II, one of the most anticipated releases of all 2020, but Sony gave us the sad news about its delay indefinitely. And that's why May will no longer be so good.
It does not mean that there will not be other demanded releases, as we will see below, but that does not mean that many do not rely on remastering or late conversions. We therefore begin the review of the video games that will come out in May with those who will see the light on PS4 that month in physical and digital.
Void Bastards
In charge of the new study by Jonathan Chey, who was involved in the first BioShock at Irrational Games and its predecessor, System Shock 2, we were surprised by his horny and peculiar style of roguelite Void Bastards, where we were struck by the immensity of its space in its most agonizing and cruel version.
The persistence
- When: May 21
- Where: PS4
- How much: 29.99 euros (free in theory, for those who have it in VR)
- Exclusive? No, this version without VR will be released on Steam, Switch and Xbox One
No, we are not wrong: we know that The persistence came out in 2018 for PS4 … but exclusive to PlayStation VR. And is that its creators, Firesprite, recently announced a version before which Virtual Reality glasses will not be compulsory so that many more people can enjoy / suffer this horror experience sprinkled with roguelike elements. And at 4K on PS4 Pro.
Maneater
- When: May 22
- Where: PS4
- How much: 34.99 euros
- Exclusive? No, it will be released the same day on Xbox One and Epic Games Store
Imagine that you are the shark from the iconic Steven Spielberg movie and you have a whole (free) world at your beck and call, within a game that mixes action and role with a lot of blood through very explicit deaths. Would you cut yourself Sure not. You would go for all. And it is just what he proposes Maneater, with Tripwire Interactive (Killing Floor) as editor of this very sharp game.
Saints Row: The Third – Remastered
- When: May 22
- Where: PS4
- How much: 39.99 euros
- Exclusive? No, it will be released at the same time on Xbox One and Epic Games Store
In the absence of a new Saints Row, we don't dislike the idea of going back to brilliantly crazy Saints Row: The Third (ignoring his lousy conversion to Switch in 2019) through this remastering that seems to take better advantage of the power of current systems. Of course, it will come with all its expansions and DLC.
The Wonderful 101 Remastered
- When: May 22
- Where: PS4
- How much: 39.99 euros
- Exclusive? No, it debuted on Wii U and will be released on Steam and Switch.
The Wonderful 101 is along with Pikmin 3, one of the best gems of strategy that came out on Wii U. Two similar proposals, but under very different styles, which delighted fans of this genre. Hence, his media campaign on KickStarter was a resounding success. Now it's time to jump into the systems of the moment and attract more people. And with PlatinumGames seal.
Minecraft dungeons
As if from a Riverbond with more possibilities, the popular Minecraft will jump to action-RPG more accessible with Minecraft dungeons, a game where we can get together with three more colleagues to get lost in its multiple dungeons. A Devil for all audiences, in short. And this is good.
Atomicrops
- When: May 28
- Where: digital (PS4)
- How much: to be confirmed (€ 14.99 at the Epic Games Store)
- Exclusive? No, it will be released at the same time on PC, Switch and Xbox One
What would happen if Stardew valley and Fallout
Ion Fury
- When: May 28
- Where: PS4
- How much: 19.99 euros
- Exclusive? No, it debuted on Steam and will be released on Nintendo Switch.
Initially known as Ion Maiden, until the very same Iron Maiden sued 3D Realms, Ion Fury it's all a love letter to Duke Nukem 3D. Not surprisingly, this Voidpoint work is sponsored by 3D Realms and uses a more current version of that engine. absolute classic from 1996. Great game.
