Coming to Xbox Next Week: New Games from May 5 to 9

So, picture this: I’m all hyped about new games on Xbox and ended up diving into this wild list they had. I mean, what’s not to love?

Age of Empires II: DE – The Three Kingdoms is dropping on May 6. It’s like stepping into a history book, but with, you know, battles. Commands flying everywhere as you get all strategic with China’s ancient dynasties. New campaigns, armies, and stuff you don’t wanna miss. Oh, and by the way, the Jurchens and Khitans join the party!

Then there’s King Arthur: Legion IX, also on May 6. So, imagine Arthurian legends but twisty, like dark fantasy style. Somehow, they took this medieval stuff and made it all tactical RPG. Kinda neat if you’re into, you know, legendary knights and all.

Metal Eden is like a cybernetic brew of chaos. Out on May 6, too. Mighty robots, mega city vibes—think a rescue mission gone nuts. It’s, well, intense.

Anyway—switching gears—Bartender Hustle on May 7. Mixology, but make it gaming. Cocktail artistry meets storytelling, and, honestly, not sure if I’d make a good bartender or just spill everything.

Oh, right, Submarine Survivor, also on May 7. Underwater escapades, facing sea baddies while collecting shiny crystals. Sounds like a watery mix of danger and discovery, if that makes any sense.

And then—hold on—Empyreal on May 8. Sci-fi RPG with mysterious monoliths and ancient secrets. Feels like it’s calling out to space nerds with a thing for exploration.

Penguins take flight in Penguin Flight: Beyond the Clouds on May 8. I mean, a penguin platformer? Defying gravity? Genius or just outlandish? Hard to tell, but it seems pretty rad.

I’ve gotta mention Revenge of the Savage Planet, also May 8. Picture this: You, stranded in space, on a mission for payback. It’s survival and revenge with some odd corporate jabs. Corporate satire in space, who’d have thought?

Coming in hot—or, wait, brisk—on May 8, is Spirit of the North 2. Fantasy landscapes and a fox protagonist–not kidding. It’s like art meeting adventure with a foxy twist.

Oh, and The Abandoned Planet on May 8, full of puzzles and pixel art. Feels all nostalgic like you’re inside a retro game. Mystery mixed with sci-fi—what’s not to like?

Last but not least, trucking across the USA in Truck Simulator Cargo Driver 2025 – USA. Hitting the road on May 8. Feel the engine roar, if you’re into that kinda thing. Delivering cargos and conquering highways? Could be soothing or stress-inducing, depending on your vibe.

Almost missed it! AMAZE! (May 9). It’s like painting in a maze. Seriously, no joke. I guess it’s oddly satisfying if you dig coloring puzzles.

And here’s a spooky one: Eyes: The Horror Game on May 9. Got haunted places everywhere. It’s like survival horror where you’re watching the watcher. A bit eerie, don’t you think?

So there you have it, my chaotic rundown of what’s hitting Xbox soon. Go embrace the chaos or find something that tickles your gaming senses—who knows what’ll catch your eye?
