[Update #2]: Serious Sam 4 has now exploded its way onto PC and Google Stadia.
[Update]: Serious Sam 4 has now been delayed and will be launching in September, 2020
Serious Sam 4 will be heading over to Steam and Google Stadia at some point this August, with the console versions set to arrive in early 2021. You can expect to see a whole host of enemies charging at you while screaming at the top of their lungs, a variety of high-powered weapons that you can fire without ever worrying about reloading, and naturally, a four-player co-op campaign to maximize the chaos.
If you're curious what this looks like in gameplay terms, as well as how Serious Sam 4 might differ from its predecessor, allow me to share with you the newly posted gameplay preview. Have a looksie:
Total War: Warhammer 2 beta update has corrected most of the annoying bugs

[Update #2]: Total War: Warhammer 2's next major update will bring the long-anticipated Wood Elf rework!
[Update]: Total War: Warhammer 2's big bugfixing update has finally been unleashed.
The recent The Warden & The Paunch DLC added a variety of new content for the Greenskins and High Elves to mess around with, as well as a rather unfortunate amount of new bugs. To Creative Assembly's credit, they quickly tried to sort all of these issues out, though sadly their efforts only created even more problems!
Thankfully, after a rather long wait, the newest beta update has now arrived to finally put a stop to these bugs. Legendary Lord traits can now once again be acquired through manual battles, Norsca and Greenskins confederation dilemmas will now correctly appear after defeating the enemy faction leader, while players in a co-op Greenskins campaign will now finally be able to acquire WAAAGH! points while their teammate is using theirs.
Far Cry 6 has been announced alongside a rather fetching cinematic trailer

[Update #2]: Far Cry 6 has now arrived onto PC and consoles with a few new twists on the age-old Ubisoft formula.
[Update]: Due to the pandemic, Far Cry 6's release date been pushed back.
While the announcement shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given the recent leak, Ubisoft has now officially revealed Far Cry 6. The gameplay details are unfortunately still few and far between, but you can expect Far Cry 6 to take place in a jungle environment, have you face off against yet another tyrannical ruler, and perhaps most importantly of all, pair up with an adorable (and apparently quite deadly) wiener dog companion!
If you're hoping the cinematic trailer will focus on the wiener dog and its adventures, I'm afraid you're out of luck, but it's not all that bad as the trailer itself is actually quite fetching! Have a gander, it sets up the mood rather well:
The open-world hacking game Watch Dogs 2 is now entirely free to grab

Originally, Watch Dogs 2 was going to be given away through Ubisoft's online conference Forward. As you might imagine, the moment the Forward stream went online was also the moment the giveaway collapsed under the sheer weight of all the people trying to get themselves a copy.
In order to correct this little issue, as well as give people another chance to grab Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft has now launched a less time-pressured giveaway. Simply head on over to the Ubisoft website, log in or create a new account, and Watch Dogs 2 will be added to your library in no time flat.
The standalone (and conditionally free) Superhot: Mind Control Delete is launching this July 16th

[Update]: Mine Control Delete has now arrived with even more time-bendy shooty action!
Given the massive success of Superhot and its VR incarnation, it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that there is a brand new game coming. What might be a rather big shock, however, is that the new Superhot: Mind Control Delete will be entirely free!
Naturally, there is a little bit of a catch. Superhot: Mind Control Delete will be launching this July 16th, and in order to get yourself a free copy, you'll need to purchase the original Superhot before that date. Any sort of free giveaway does not apply in this case, so if you got it through the Epic Games Store for a free a little while back, you'll unfortunately still need to purchase Superhot: Mind Control Delete the regular way.
Full remake of Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is launching next week on PC

[Update]: Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town has now landed onto Steam.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, formerly a part of the Harvest Moon series, released for the Game Boy Advance all the way back in 2003. While it may be incredibly old by today's standards, it is one of those games that has successfully stood the test of time and is remarkably enjoyable to this very day.
As such, you might be interested to hear that a full remake of it will soon be launching onto PC. And when I say soon, I really do mean that as Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town will be arriving this July 14th. It's also worth mentioning that the Nintendo Switch has already been released, so if you want to kickstart your farm as soon as possible, that would be the route to take.
