One more week we are here, prepared to compile the most relevant releases in the interactive entertainment sector and, as usual, we have prepared a complete list of the video games that will be launched between May 6 and 10, 2024, for Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, mobile devices and PC. Among the main names not only of the week, but of the month of May, is 'V Rising' on Steam, which will abandon Early Access and receive the first commercial version for computer pending its expected arrival on PlayStation 5 this year.
We also did not overlook the publication of 'Little Kitty, Big City' a production for Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch and PC, destined to fill the screens of lovers of open world experiences (and charming kittens) with happiness. 'Crow Country', 'Brocula', 'Gatekeeper' and 'Animal Well', close the chapter regarding the most interesting releases in the video game sector, but since not everything is going to be playing, for the same price, we also bring together some of the most notable publications of the week in comic format.
