Motorslice and Wax Heads: new releases for gamers

Gaming fans, it looks like we’ve hit a brief lull in the spring release schedule. While the second half of May is packed with big names like Subnautica 2 and Forza Horizon 6, there are a few notable games out this week that you may not have heard of yet. Two of the standout releases are Motorslice and Wax Heads.

Motorslice: a unique action experience

Motorslice is an atmospheric anime action game in which players take control of a blue-haired woman battling construction machines with a chainsaw sword. The game has seen a strong rise on Steam wishlists lately, thanks in part to eye-catching trailers and smart marketing. It promises an exciting experience set in a distinctive world full of action and visual flair.

Wax Heads: stories in the music world

Wax Heads, meanwhile, is a cozy-punk narrative game set in a record store. You’ll help customers work through their drama while also getting into debates about music. The demo, released in 2024, was well received and gave players a taste of the game’s unique atmosphere and storytelling.

Release information

Both titles launch at the end of this week and are well positioned to catch players’ attention during a period with relatively few other major releases. Motorslice will be available on platforms such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, while Wax Heads will also arrive on those consoles and Nintendo Switch.

These two games give players a chance to dive into unique experiences, and they’re just a couple of the many upcoming releases. It’s an exciting time for gamers, especially as we gear up for the busy game periods still to come.
