May 2013 Video Game Release Schedule

By Kyle Matthews 09 January 2013

With April behind us and Q2 2013 in full swing, May looks to be an exciting month as well, bringing several big name and indie releases – not to mention a rumored Xbox-related reveal from Microsoft on the 21st. There’s a lot to look forward to in May, so let’s get into it!

May kicks off with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon for Windows and Xbox Live, indie hit Fez for Windows, and Might & Magic Heroes VII expansion Shades of Darkness, also for Windows. The much anticipated Metro: Last Light finally drops mid-May for PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows; and Fast & Furious: Showdown races across all major systems shortly thereafter. Finally, the month closes out with GRID 2 for Windows, PS3 and Xbox 360; and classics Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages find their way onto the 3DS.
