As we get deeper into 2021, the PlayStation 5 and PS4 games are starting to really pick up. We've just had Returnal, and over the next couple of months, a handful of big new releases will keep you glued to your console. Let's take a look at everything coming up in May and June of this year — there are some very exciting titles on the way.

Resident Evil Village - 7th May
Resident Evil Village — or Resident Evil 8 — is almost upon us. Set after the events of the previous game, Ethan Winters and his wife are living in peace in a new home, but of course, things take a sinister turn. With the mysterious Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters awaiting in an enormous castle, this new game looks to be another seriously twisted survival horror experience, and we can't wait.
Biomutant - 25th May
It feels like we've been waiting for Biomutant for eons, but the enigmatic action game from THQ Nordic is almost here. This brand new IP is an open world title in which you play a mutated creature following some sort of apocalypse. It's a colourful game with lots of style, and it appears to have a pretty deep combat system too. This could well be a dark horse in 2021's release schedule.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - 11th June
The next big PS5 exclusive is just a few short weeks away, and it sees the glorious return of Ratchet & Clank. The action platforming duo is back, and their latest adventure is looking extremely promising. Making full use of PS5's features, like laser-fast loading and the DualSense's fancy haptics, it's shaping up to be a true next-gen showpiece. The dimension-hopping gameplay looks ridiculously good, and mysterious new character Rivet seems like a great addition. We seriously can't wait for this one.

Just bought returnal yesterday, plan to buy resident evil 8 and of course, ratchet and clank rift apart. The only problem for me is what games to remove from my ps5 ssd lol, I think I have to buy external ssd for my ps4 games on ps5.
Edit: And final fantasy 7 remake intergrade too of course 😃
When's the Terminator upgrade coming ?
I can’t wait to give Biomutant a spin! Also, it’s nice to see videos embedded visibly in the articles.
@hypnotoad It’s out today
Got Returnal, Resident Evil Village, and Ratchet and Clank already on order and looking to upgrade to Intergrade as soon as it’s available for me to do so. The next two months of gaming looks to be outstanding.
I’m still undecided about Biomutant. Also, doesn’t Scarlet Nexus launch June 25th too? I’m not sure about that one either. But, heck, 2021 looks like it’s finally building into something. This year reminds me of 2019. The first half of the year was pretty much silence, and then the floodgates opened, and the great games kept pouring in.
@awp69 Thank you kindly.
I am looking forward to playing Resident Evil 8 this week. Finally I could get caught by Lady Dimitrescu...(:
My body is ready for RE Village. Also, excited for Ratchet and the FF7 Remake DLC.
Looking forward to ratchet and clank. Always great games.
If – if only, more like – I could find a PS5, the stunning Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart would be on my radar, but alas it isn’t to be right now. Hopefully that’ll change before June. In the meantime, I have my eye on Biomutant instead. But not that eye watering Atomic Edition! Three-hundred-and-fifty-quid?! 😳
Some people have some serious disposable income to have returnal, re8, ratchet on order already, £190 right there.
Is re8 £50 simply because its also on ps4, or is it only first party games that will be £70? Interesting to see the pricing on horizon with it being cross gen
@MatthewJP Shop around.
I got Returnal for £64 and RE8 for £46.
I have Resident Evil Village & Mass Effect preordered, but will wait to preorder Ratchet & Clank till closer to the time,
I hoped to get all 3 physically but as shops are closed for Covid 19 can't so I will get the first 2 digitally and Ratchet & Clank Physically as the shops should be reopened by then!
I have only just started Persona 5 so I will be busy till autumn 🤣 Especially with my limited gaming time, but I will most certainly get Mass Effect LE, Returnal and R&C later down the line.
I have a PS5, but the thing I am looking forward to most on this list is Biomutant.
I wish there was something I was looking forward to. I don't know why, but none of these games are doing it for me. The only 2 games I'm really looking forward to at the moment are Horizon and Hogwarts Legacy. Everything else is just "meh" to me
What date is the resi villiage review embargo?
My only day one buy here is Mass Effect. I'll wait for price drops on some of the others. PushSquare, I still expect a full review on Cthulhu Saves Christmas!!
It may not be the masterpiece that "Bibi & Tina at The Horse Farm" is, but SMT III: Nocturne HD Remaster releases in May, and really should be on this list.
Biomutant looks fab so that's on my radar!
Bibi AND Tina? Damn son, gimme some of that.
In all seriousness, out of all these games only the Akiba remake is of interest to me. Gonna wait for a big price drop though.
I will wait patiently for my Resident Evil 8 copy ... I WANT IT NOW!
First month where I've wanted to buy a new game in a longgg time. Can't wait for RE and Biomutant let's go May
Just the new shiny versions of old games for me. Mass Effect LE for May and Ninja Gaiden Master Collection for June. Six solid games for little more than the price of one new Sony release. Bargain!
@Ralizah OMG! I can't believe Bibi and Tina finally came to PlayStation!!
@LordSteev ikr
Bibi & Tina is going to rip up the charts when it comes out. I feel sorry for EA that the Mass Effect collection is releasing so close to it.
@Ralizah Mass what, now?
@Ralizah At least Bibi & Tina is not reusing the same music, animations, dialog, character assets, backgrounds, costumes, bosses from all previous games like Ms Neptunia 🙃
Bibi and Tina at the Horsefarm....I think I saw that live down in Mexico back in my Navy days...
Bibi and Tina day one! (and Mass Effect if I have any extra time)
Biomutant and Ratchet for me! Will wait a bit for Resi 8 since I never actually finished Resi 7 (too scared) lol
"Bibi and Tina at the horse farm"
Finally a PS5 exclusive we can get excited about.
What’s happening with the Olympics game from Sega?
Still looking at Biomutant, but still waiting on reviews to know if it'll be day 1.
Femshep time yet again for me.
I'm looking forward to Hood.
No PS5 version of Biomutant??
