It’s a big ‘B’ month as all of the heavy hitters arrive: Bluey, Bubsy, Batman, and Bond, James Bond.

Of course, there’s plenty more coming out within the month, including Yoshi’s colourful, hand-sketched discovery-rich adventure, Beethoven & Dinosaur’s sophomore, coming-of-age indie gem, Mixtape, and the much-anticipated spiritual successor to Disco Elysium, Zero Parades.

Forza’s big, expansive tour of Japan is sure to please the rev heads, while old heads will enjoy seeing Indy on Nintendo.

There’s a little something for everyone, but here are all of the games you should be excited for in May.
