Another month, another mix of controversies, sad news and releases in the gaming world. We recap the drama between Sony and Helldivers 2, as well as more closures of studios under Take Two and Microsoft. There’s also a new Assassin’s Creed game called Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in Japan (finally!) and a new Call of Duty. May also saw the release of Senua's Saga 2: Hellblade, Mullet Madjack, Animal Well, Crowd Country, Hauntii and Hades 2 (Early Access).
