The PC game releases we're most excited about in May

Diablo 4 "Server Slam" | May 12-14
Blizzard wants us to beat up on its servers one more time, which in practical terms probably means sitting in a queue for a bit, but I appreciate the effort to make it exciting. This is another chance to get the previous beta rewards, plus one new one.

Men of War 2 open beta | May 12-14
Diablo not your thing? Well here's another old fashioned PC gaming experience to try in beta: a WW2 RTS with both PvP and PvE multiplayer. There'll also be three singleplayer/co-op missions to try.

Redfall | May 1
Alright, "excited" might not be the right word here—the co-op vampire shooter is not what we might've hoped—but we'll see how Arkane responds.

Age of Wonders 4 | May 2
We've already reviewed Age of Wonders 4, and good news: It rules! Fraser called the fantasy strategy game "a flavorful and inventive 4X full of incredible spells and engaging empire management."

Darkest Dungeon 2 | May 8
A "roguelike road trip of the damned" and the sequel to one of our favorite games of 2016, leaving early access. Guide your heroes through turn-based combat encounters and watch as they grow into hopeless, dysfunctional people!

Lego 2K Drive | May 19
An open world Lego racing game with customizable cars seems like a smart idea, given Forza Horizon's  popularity. And a surprising number of people on our team have fond memories of 1999's Lego Racers. Without Mario Kart on PC, we made do with what we could get.

Warhammer 40K: Boltgun | May 23
A retro shooter named after one of Warhammer's most famous weapons. According to our hands-on preview, it lives up to the name. The Warhammer lovers on PC Gamer are definitely excited for this one.

Star Trek: Resurgence | May 23
May 23 is looking busy, huh? Resurgence was recently on the cover of PC Gamer magazine. It's a throwback to '90s Star Trek, when some of the best episodes were about alien peace negotiations happening in the Enterprise boardroom.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum | May 25
Gollum isn't the first LotR character I'd have picked to make a game about, but creepy little goblin guy stealth did work pretty well in Styx: Master of Shadows, so maybe that's just a genre now. (Note: I know Gollum's not a goblin please don't email me.)

System Shock | May 30
A remake of the classic 1994 immersive sim from Looking Glass, the most legendary maker of stealthy first-person PC games. The remake comes from Nightdive, which previously remastered the System Shocks.
