May is teeming with game releases as well as open beta runs of some exciting games. Owners of PS4, Xbox One and PC can check out this list of most-anticipated titles coming out this month—with some of them even offering open beta to experience the game.
Battleborn
Gearbox Software’s newest shooter game “Battleborn” will be releasing on May 3. For players who are eager to get a slight head-start by preloading the game even before its release date.
According to GameSpot, rollout of the game will start for those in Australia on May 3, 12:00 a.m. AEST for PS4 and Xbox One, and at 3:00 a.m. AEST for PC players. Other schedules for the rollout of “Battleborn” can be seen in the link above.
Uncharted 4
For most players, “Uncharted 4” is slated to launch on May 10. A handful were able to get their hands on copies, which were supposedly stolen in transit. Developer Naughty Dog has been seeing a lot of leaks from these players, which did not please the team behind the game.
Gamepur has sighted a few tweets from the developer, where the team had expressed their displeasure about players who actively leak “Uncharted 4” games. Neil Druckmann had asked fans to stay vigilant against the leaks, since the launch is just a few days away.
“We’re all just hoping that the people who will be playing the game have the same chance to experience it fresh like our playtesters did,” said Naughty Dog’s Josh Scherr.
Doom
To hype up the release of “Doom” on May 13, the developer has released some new videos on the single-player campaign. Screenrant reported that the developer has shown fans a look at some of the weapons.
For instance, there is a weapon wheel, which allows players to switch guns during fights. Customisation of weapons is also part of the game, so that the players can enjoy the doing up their guns to suit their play styles.
Overwatch
There’s still a few weeks before “Overwatch” is released on the PS4, Xbox One and PC. However open beta for the game will start as early as May 3 and 4 via early access. Sadly, the early access registration period is already over. But an all-access open beta is set to run from May 5 to 9, as announced over Battle.net.
This is a great chance for players to take a look at Blizzard’s “Overwatch” before the game release on May 24.
