Sony is kicking off May with 3 new titles in the PlayStation Monthly Games category, all available from today.
On offer this month are football sim EA Sports FC 26, the Hollow Knight-esque metroidvania Nine Sols, and fantasy soulslike Wuchang Fallen Feathers.
PlayStation typically announces the full Game Catalog additions on the second Wednesday of the month, so look out for more announcements for drops to the Premium, Extra and Premium, and Catalog categories. (edit: As promised, both Extra and Premium and Premium drops are announced today, May 15, with details below. All games in both of these categories will be available to play from May 19.)
One early confirmation is PS1 classic Time Crisis, which was confirmed earlier this year during a State of Play event. This light-gun classic is also set to join the Classics Catalog on May 19.
