[Update]: Right on schedule, Death Come True has now made its way to PC!
Kazutaka Kodaka, the creative mind behind the rather unique Danganronpa series, will soon be releasing his newest game onto PC - Death Come True. As you might expect, there is a bit of a twist with Death Come True to make things just a little more interesting. So instead of being a classic horror-mystery game, the upcoming Death Come True will play like an interactive movie as it's entirely made out of FMV (full motion video) sequences!
Rather than ramble on, I think it's probably for the best if you check out one of the trailers. It should give you a pretty good impression of just what Death Come True is going for. Have a looksie, and don't forget to turn on the subtitles!

After spending a fair few years in Steam Early Access, the Bioshock inspired survival horror game P.A.M.E.L.A. has now officially been released. As you might imagine given its inspiration, P.A.M.E.L.A. will have you explore a fallen utopia, face off against hordes of its mutated inhabitants and malfunctioning robots, improve your own body with bio-augments, and naturally, cover in a corner while hoping the nasties go away!
While there is unfortunately no new trailer showcasing what exactly has improved over the years, you can still get a pretty good impression of what sort of atmosphere P.A.M.E.L.A. is going for through one of the original previews. Have a gander:

Studio behind the action-packed Furi is now working on Haven - a relationship focused RPG adventure

[Update]: Haven has now added alternative and fully voiced same-sex partners as a part of a free update.
After focusing pretty much entirely on fast-paced combat with Furi, The Game Bakers studio is taking things in a bit of a different direction with the upcoming Haven. Instead of tackling a series of challenging boss fights one after another, Haven will have you control two characters at the same time as they explore the world, fight against an assortment of monsters, and occasionally even argue against each other.
Since this is one of those concepts you really need to see to fully grasp, allow me to share with you one of gameplay trailers. Have a gander, the atmosphere is really lovely:

I hope you're in the mood for ridiculously over-the-top action and terrible puns, because Shadow Warrior 3 has just been announced! Much like its predecessors, Shadow Warrior 3 will be all about the combination of fast-paced melee and ranged combat, though this time around with a much greater focus on mobility and aggression.
You can get a little bit of a sneak peek at what this looks like in gameplay terms, as well as check out the newly added grappling hook, through the teaser trailer below. Have a gander, it's a rather self-aware one:

[Update]: Raji: An Ancient Epic has now been released alongside some fairly positive reviews.
If you're looking for a bit of a departure from the usual Western or Japanese settings, you might want to check out the upcoming Raji: An Ancient Epic. To put it simply, it is an action-adventure set in ancient India and heavily flavored by Hindu mythology.
As for the actual gameplay, Raji will feature a combination of environmental platforming and puzzle-solving, along with plenty of god-empowered action. Depending on which gods you choose to favor you will be granted a variety of new abilities and weapons, which when combined should be more than enough to even the odds with your demonic foes.

[Update #2]: Grounded's newest update has added a massive bird and a new perk system!
[Update]: Grounded has now arrived, and as expected, spiders are bloody horrifying when they're three times your size!
While most survival games these days are attempting to make things ever more grandiose in order to attract attention, Obsidian has chosen to go in a bit of a different direction with Grounded. Instead of roaming across gigantic landscapes, Grounded will have you explore and attempt to survive in a simple backyard... while shrunk down to the size of an ant!
If that sounds like just the type of nonsense you'd love to sink your teeth into, you can give Grounded a bit of a closer look through one of recent trailers. Have a peek, it's a fairly short but fun one:
