We are now at the end of April and it’s time to stock up. The most anticipated games of May 2022It’s not exactly full of great news to tell the truth, but is characterized by a cast that still remains quite interesting. To tell the truth, the trend continues from the previous month, given that even April is not characterized by massive caliber of news showing how the market is breathing after such a hectic pace of the year. this summer, at least in terms of special events and announcements.
In any case, the news is not lacking, although they are often less visible, although they have shifted more to indie projects and games, but as those who follow the video game landscape well know, this should not be taken lightly.
The (partially) divergent selection between editorial staff and readers is already an index of the various headlines the month has stored, but it must be said that, a little enthusiasm For the staff of May 2022, it emerged quite clearly from the results of the opinion poll, especially as we will see. But in the meantime, we can prepare for the announcement season, considering that interesting events such as the introduction of the new Warcraft Mobile, the possible introduction of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and its sequel will begin to arrive in May. next month, the launch of Summer Game Fest and Xbox & Bethesda Showcase 2022.
Most anticipated by the editorial team
Close fight for first place in internal voting editorial boardactually resulted in an even value at the top of the ranking: Trek to Yomi e Kangaroo Kao so they share the most anticipated game title of May 2022, which is not often when it comes to a single poll. Trek to Yomi is a sliding action adventure inspired by feudal Japan and genre films, and especially historical films by Akira Kurosawa: developed by Flyin Wild Hog and published by Devolver Digital, the game tells the story of young swordsman Hiroki and the oath made to him. dying lord to protect his city. The black and white graphic style definitely has a great effect and also underlines a setting that can always create its awesome effect.
Kao the Kangaroo, on the other hand, represents a throwback to a franchise that emerged in the early 2000s at a time when 3D platforms dominated the scene by imposing more or less unacceptable characters, including such anthropomorphic kangaroos. out. boxing pants and gloves. The new episode looks like a true reboot of the classic style of the genre, backed by a graphic design fit for modern potential but a gameplay reminiscent of old 3D platform games. A short distance away, in second place is Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, a JRPG in development by the same authors that represents the “spiritual successor” of Suikoden. Nostalgia runs strong in this title, thanks to the graphic style that is exactly reminiscent of the “2D-HD” used by Square Enix for Octopus Traveler. Another tie between Salt and Sacrifice and Vampire to close the podium: Masquerade – Swansong.
Readers’ most anticipated
The result of the published survey Multiplayer.it readers In the most anticipated game of May 2022: the most voted option and by far the infamous “None”. It’s a clear sign of the lack of interest that next month’s series arouses in most users, but there are still some interesting elements. By tradition, we consider and find the first title that comes out after the most nihilistic choice. Journey to Yomi in the first place, also in this case. Therefore, beyond the dual first position that emerges in this case, it is a suitable choice as expressed by the editorial staff. There is less doubt for readers: The Japanese-inspired title with a certain atmosphere has clearly won the hearts of many.
In the second position we find Salt and Sacrifice: The 2D soul-like action RPG is almost ready for release and remains very interesting. Developed by Ska Studios and Devoured Studios, the game offers another interpretation of the famous subgenre in a purer action form, all set in a two-dimensional plane characterized by particularly evocative designed graphics. A short distance from the second, in the third position, we find Sniper Elite 5, a new chapter in the Rebellion shooter series that focuses on the marksman figure and brings a number of innovations to the core mechanics, set during the Second World War. Unreleased missions Outside of the podium, following Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong and Kao the Kangaroo has always been very close.
