[Update]: Mass Effect Legendary Edition has now been unleashed without too many technical issues or bugs!
After the disappointingly mediocre Mass Effect: Andromeda, I honestly didn't expect to hear anything from the series for at least five or so years. As such, I am both surprised and delighted to announce that not only is BioWare working on a brand new Mass Effect game, but that they are remastering the original trilogy as well!
As for the new Mass Effect game, the only thing I can tell you right now is that it'll be the "next chapter" for the Mass Effect universe and that it currently has some of BioWare's most veteran devs working on it. For the actual details, or even simply the name of the game, we'll most likely have to wait a couple of years.
Dungeon Keeper inspired Dungeons 3 is entirely free to grab until November 12th

As you might guess from the name alone, Dungeons 3 is a faithful homage to the original Dungeon Keeper, as well as pretty solid strategy game in its own right. It's all about creating your very own dread fortress, populating it with an assortment of monsters and traps, and then crushing the hopes and dreams of anyone even remotely heroic that dares to waltz in.
If that sounds like something you would love to mess around with, you'll be happy to hear that Dungeons 3 is entirely free to grab over at the Epic Games Store. The only catch, as always, is that the giveaway is timed, so you'll need to snatch yourself a copy before November 12th. As long as you do that, you'll be able to play Dungeons 3 whenever you want and for however long you want.

If you're a fan of the 2010 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and wish to explore a slightly improved version of it, you'll be happy to hear that Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered has now landed onto PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. A Nintendo Switch version is also on the way, though that one will be arriving next week, on November 13th.
As for the actual improvements, I'm afraid there aren't that many. You can expect to see new achievements, cosmetics, an updated photo mode and gallery, some minor quality of life fixes and visual improvements, as well as every single DLC already bundled in.
The turn-based Yakuza: Like a Dragon is set to launch next week, on November 10th

[Update]: Yakuza: Like a Dragon has now been unleashed, and I'm happy to say it's pretty good!
While the Yakuza series has changed a fair bit over the years, the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon is truly breaking the mold by taking things in a completely new direction. Instead of the usual brawler combat system, Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be using a JRPG inspired turn-based combat system with plenty of ridiculous combos.
The emphasis there is absolutely on the ridiculous, as you'll quickly see through one of the action-focused trailer down below. Have a gander, it's certainly a sight to behold:
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 update is adding new challenges, cosmetics and replay tours

In an update that is set to arrive on November 6th, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 will be getting a whole assortment of quality of life improvements, alongside a couple of new cosmetics. First and foremost, you will now be able to replay the Tours mode with individual skaters. All of the goals and medals will also reset, thus allowing you to complete them again in order to collect stat points, or simply because they're fun to mess around with.
If you're up for even greater challenges, then you'll be happy to hear that Vicarious Visions is adding exactly that - 100 new challenges spread across 10 new challenge sets. All of these challenges will come with plenty of additional experience and cash, which combined with the newly revamped leveling system, should allow you to reach Level 100 much easier and have a lot more cash to spend at the in-game skate shop.
Worms Rumble, the arena-based 32 player madhouse, is set to launch this December 1st

[Update]: Worms Rumble has now landed onto PC and PlayStation alongside pretty solid reviews.
Unlike the previous Worms games, the upcoming Worms Rumble will forgo its strategy roots and focus on intense 32-player, real-time action with plenty of different weapons and customization options to help spice things up. And if that wasn't unusual enough, Worms Rumble will also have its very own Battle Royale variant!
Since I'm sure many of you are wondering what all of this madness looks like in actual gameplay, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It should give you a pretty good idea of just what Worms Rumble is trying to accomplish:
Apex Legends has now landed onto Steam alongside the massive Season 7 update

[Update #2]: Apex Legends has fixed the horribly grindy Weekly Challenges and given everyone 10 free Levels.
[Update]: Apex Legends is bringing in massive and positive changes to the controversial Battle Pass.
The freshly launched Season 7 update really is an enormous one, potentially the biggest Apex Legends has seen so far. It brings with it the floating city of Olympus as a new map, the very first transport vehicle called the Trident, as well as Horizon, a remarkably fun gravity-bending new legend. And as an additional little bonus, Apex Legends has now made its way to Steam!
You can also expect to see the very first iteration of a guild/club system, an assortment of balance changes and quality of life tweaks, a fresh ranked season to participate in, and naturally, a brand new Battle Pass filled to the brim with fancy cosmetics. Unfortunately, it's that Battle Pass that has somewhat soured the otherwise excellent update.
