Best New Mobile Games for May 2026

1. NTE: Neverness to Everness

Release Date: April 29, 2026

I’m really excited about Neverness To Everness, this new open-world RPG from Hotta Studio! It’s set in this amazing city called Hethereau, and you get to play as the first Anomaly Hunter who isn’t officially licensed. Basically, you explore this gorgeous world and slowly figure out what’s really going on beneath the surface – it sounds super intriguing!

Get ready for gameplay similar to GTA, but with a cool supernatural element! As you explore, you’ll team up with companions, each with their own special abilities and distinct personalities. Together, you’ll track down dangerous Anomalies and keep the city safe, all while enjoying features like driving and relaxing in your luxurious penthouse. You can download the game from the Google Play Store or the App Store.

2. Mongil: Star Dive

Release Date: April 15, 2026

Next, we have MONGIL: STAR DIVE, an exciting action RPG from Netmarble that builds on the popular Monster Taming game. You’ll play alongside Cloud, Verna, and their cute pet, Nyanners, as they explore a colorful world filled with different creatures. Throughout the game, you can befriend and train monsters using Nyanners’ special skills to help you in combat.

You might especially enjoy the Monsterlings system, which lets you capture monsters and equip them as companions that give you helpful abilities. This game, built with Unreal Engine 5, boasts amazing graphics and environments, a compelling story focused on characters, unique Tag Skills, and a diverse world of monsters. It’s available to download from the Google Play Store or the App Store.

3. Dicero

Release Date: April 23, 2026

Introducing Dicero, a relaxed and replayable adventure game from the makers of Archero, HABBY. If you’ve enjoyed their previous titles, you’ll recognize the charming style, but with a unique new mechanic: each battle starts with a dice roll! This lets you create strong abilities simply by rolling the dice and defeating enemies.

The game is simple to pick up and play, without lengthy tutorials to slow you down. As you play, you’ll unlock new equipment and abilities to develop your character. I’ve played it myself, and each attempt feels different, making defeating the challenging bosses really rewarding. You can find it on the Google Play Store or App Store if you’d like to try it out.

4. DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow

Release Date: April 21, 2026

If you’re a fan of the DRAGON QUEST series, you’ll love DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow! This new RPG from SQUARE ENIX puts you on a quest to save the world, and you won’t be alone – you’ll explore dungeons with a helpful robot friend named Roly. The game features quick and easy-to-learn combat, so every playthrough feels fresh and unique.

Players can also use devastating finishing moves to quickly defeat large groups of enemies, and helpful, unexpected bonuses will help them become more powerful as they play. Those who enjoy traditional character classes can now create a team and improve their skills with special upgrades.

Whether you prefer playing with friends in cooperative adventures or tackling solo challenges like the Shrines, there’s plenty to do in this game. You can download it from the Google Play Store or the App Store.

5. NEKOPARA Sekai Connect

Release Date: April 14, 2026

Finally, there’s NEKOPARA Sekai Connect, a social RPG developed by GOOD SMILE COMPANY and NEKO WORKs. It’s the latest installment in the popular NEKOPARA romance adventure series. What makes this game unique is that Sayori, the original creator, was directly involved, and it even features new catgirls originally designed for the cancelled Nekoparaiten! project.

Step back into the world of La Soleil patisserie with your cute Nekos, but this time, you’re invited to the international Neko Festival! Compete for the top spot alongside your Nekos in unique battles that combine rhythm-based gameplay with original music and videos. Download it from the Google Play Store or App Store and enjoy the charming 2D animations, complete voice acting, and engaging character stories.
