Coming Soon to Xbox: New Releases from May 5 to 9

Alright, so here we go. Let’s talk Xbox games—yeah, I know, exciting stuff. We’ve got this rundown of what’s coming soon. It’s all about Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. And Game Pass? Yep, got that too. So, let’s dig in or whatever.

First up, “Age of Empires II: DE – The Three Kingdoms” lands on May 6. Ever wanted to dabble between history and legend? Now you can. There’s something about commanding Shu, Wei, and Wu—sounds epic until you realize you forgot to feed your dog. Shu, Wei, Wu… also there are Jurchens and Khitans, whoever they are. Medieval China history class, here we come!

Next, “King Arthur: Legion IX.” Also on May 6, and it’s for Xbox Series X|S. Are we in a myth, or is this just another day in Avalon? It’s like a new chapter of Arthurian tales with battles that’ll demand you either play like a pro or just wing it. I mean, choices, right?

On to “Metal Eden,” arriving May 6. We’re talking cyber warfare—sounds fancy and deadly. This Hyper Unit Aska (quite a name, right?) has to fix, rescue, or something like that in the city of Moebius. Also, robots. Because why not?

Moving along, on May 7 we have “Bartender Hustle.” Ever wanted to mix drinks and impress people with your bartending flair? Here’s your chance. You can concoct cocktails while storytelling your way to the top. It’s like being Tom Cruise in “Cocktail,” minus the 80s music. Or maybe not.

“Submarine Survivor” dives in on May 7 too. Just think ocean, fearsome sea creatures (no thanks!), and submarines—because people enjoy that, apparently. Upgrade, explore, and just try not to sink.

Then we’re at “Empyreal,” which drops on May 8. Fellow RPG lovers, this one’s for you. Ancient civilizations, space exploration, and monoliths—you know, the usual. You’d think by now we’d learn not to mess with ancient stuff, but that’s not how games work, is it?

On May 8, join a penguin in “Penguin Flight: Beyond the Clouds.” It’s like those dreams where penguins fly. Spoiler alert: they don’t. But hey, in 2D pixel lands, anything is possible.

Then there’s “Revenge of the Savage Planet” on May 8 too. Future vibes with a breakup story with your ex-employer. While stranded in space. As one does. Loads to explore and grudges to hold—sounds therapeutic.

Check out “Spirit of the North 2,” also on May 8. Who doesn’t love a wise Raven sidekick? Save guardians or just wander aimlessly as a fox in a world that’s seen better days. It’s deep, yet fluffy in the best way.

Now, if you fancy something out of retro dreams, “The Abandoned Planet” is here on May 8. Point, click, solve. Feel the LucasArts spirit without needing a time machine. Who knew pixels could be so inspirational?

Lastly, hitch a ride with the “Truck Simulator Cargo Driver 2025 – USA,” on May 8. Like road trips, but truck-style. Carve out vast American roads, deliver the cargo, and try not to hit too many bumps.

And finally, on May 9, “AMAZE!” It’s about bouncing balls and coloring mazes. Simple, yet…uh, maze-tastic?

Oh, and “Eyes: The Horror Game” also hits on May 9. Haunted places, secret rooms, and those creepy vibes. Runes, eyes, getting scared silly—it’s all there.

Anyway, that’s it—our chaotic dive into Xbox’s upcoming thrills. Get excited, or distracted—I mean, it’s up to you.
