Like Dragon Age: Inquisition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an open world RPG that promises hundreds of hours' worth of content. Unlike Dragon Age Inquisition, The Witcher 3 has the courtesy to arrive when there's not much else going on. Thank goodness.
While we're all going Witching this month, let's not forget some of May's other big titles. There hasn't been much news about Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, but if it's anything like Wolfenstein: The New Order, Nazi-killing fans are in for a swell time. After many delays, the gorgeous-looking Project Cars finally zooms onto consoles and PCs, and the Wii U's quirky squid-based shooter Splatoon arrives just a few weeks ahead of E3.
In the if-you-missed-it-the-first-time camp, PlayStation 4 owners can get their hands on Ultra Street Fighter 4 near the end of the month, and the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster finally makes its way to a current-generation console. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's DLC isn't nearly as good as its main campaign, but if you haven't played it yet, the new Game of the Year edition is the one to pick up. Shadow of Mordor comes highly recommended; after all, we voted it our top game of 2014 for a reason.

CD Projekt Red says that Geralt's final adventure will take about 200 hours to complete. That leaves you 640 other hours to sleep, eat, work, and obsess over E3 footage before Batman: Arkham Knight arrives next month. Better get hunting.
