Five Top Upcoming Adventure Games – May 2026

Trailer compilation of this month's most anticipated new releases

Growing season is clearly in full swing, because after a bumper crop of great new adventures in April (minus one slight date slip), May is shaping up to be an even more bountiful harvest! This month we'll get a new sci-fi mystery from indie darling Cosmic Void; a toe-tapping, skateboard-wheeling musical trip down teenaged memory lane; the long-awaited next fingernail-chewer in Supermassive's Dark Pictures series; another devilishly puzzling foray into the world of Lovecraft in the sequel to Call of the Sea; and a time-traveling whirlwind of hijinx from the creators of Willy Morgan. But five choices alone can't do the month full justice, so keep your eyes peeled for cartoon cutout mice mysteries, VR espionage missions, and struggles for survival on the front lines of WWI, among so much more!
