Another week is nearly upon us, and as is tradition at this point, there is a brand new giveaway. This time around you're looking at the self-explanatory Drawful 2, the action-adventure Hob, as well as the exploration-focused 'walking simulator' Gone Home.
If you're interested in either game, all you need to do is head on over to the Epic Games Store, create or log into your account, and you'll be good to go. The whole giveaway will only last until April 9th, however, so do make sure to at least add the games to your account before you forget entirely.

[Update #2]: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV has now concluded the massive saga on both PC and Switch!
[Update]: The latest trailer shows off what the story in Trails of Cold Steel IV will be about.
Trails of Cold Steel III has only just made its way to PC alongside some highly positive reviews, and already I have more great news to share! In a rather brief announcement, Nihon Falcom has revealed that Trails of Cold Steel IV is being developed for PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch!
Expect to see the largest roster of characters in the entire series, with plenty of fan-favorites returning to the battlefield once more. The combat itself is also being spruced up, and much like the characters, it'll feature a combination of new and old ideas. The same trend applies to the out-of-combat activities as well since Trails of Cold Steel IV will be adding an assortment of new minigames, along with some of the more popular ones from before like Vintage Master.

If you're in the mood for even more bandits to gun down in Borderlands 3, you might be interested to hear that a brand new DLC has just arrived - Guns, Love, and Tentacles. As the name would suggest, the DLC brings with it a bombastic wedding between Hammerlock and Wainwright, multiple new regions to explore, as well as an old friend from Borderlands 2.
You can get a bit of an idea of what all of this looks like in action, as well as who the old friend might be, through the reveal trailer down below. Have a gander:
Overwatch devs have revealed new Echo cosmetics and plans to change the Competitive Map Pools

[Update #2]: Overwatch's final hero Echo has now been released for both casual and competitive play.
[Update]: Overwatch is retiring Map Pools, as well as removing Paris and Horizon Lunar Colony from Competitive Play.
After a brief round of teasers, Overwatch's Hero #32 has been revealed as the mysterious Omnic Echo. However, instead of being a support hero as many expected, Echo has been unleashed as a highly mobile, and just as deadly, shape-shifting damage dealer.
While Echo will soon be making her way to the live version of Overwatch, you can check out her and her newly introduced cosmetics ahead of time by visiting the PTR. If you don't feel like downloading an entirely new client, however, you can also give the new skins a sneak peek over at the Overwatch Twitter. Needless to say, they are pretty darn amazing!
Resident Evil 3 Remake has now arrived, though it's a fair bit shorter than expected

[Update]: The comprehensive Resident Evil 4 Remake has now arrived alongside solid reviews and a free demo.
The Resident Evil 2 Remake, while not a completely faithful adaptation of the original horror classic, set an incredibly high standard for any future Resident Evil games to follow. As such, it might not come as too much of a surprise to hear that the newly released Resident Evil 3 Remake has fallen a bit short of its mighty predecessor.
Now don't get me wrong, Resident Evil 3 is by no means a bad game. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's a pretty darn good one, though it does have some noticeable flaws. For example, the whole campaign can be completed in under five hours without any prior knowledge, while a couple of the iconic Resident Evil 3 locations like the clocktower were cut from the game entirely.
Multiplayer-focused pirate adventure Sea of Thieves will soon be docking onto Steam

[Update #2]: Sea of Thieves has now landed onto Steam with cross-play between all three versions.
[Update]: Sea of Thieves has been pinned for a June 3rd release date on Steam.
Sea of Thieves has been around on the Xbox One and Microsoft Store for around two years now, but if you're not a fan of either platform, I do have some good news to share. According to announcement that came pretty much out of nowhere, Sea of Thieves will soon be making its way to Steam!
The details are basically nonexistent right now, to the point that we don't even know when Sea of Thieves will be launching. Thankfully, we won't have to wait for too long to find out as the full announcement should be coming quite soon.
What I can tell you for certain, however, is that there will be cross-play support for the Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam versions. So regardless of what platform you end up choosing, you'll be able to play with exactly the same people.
World of Warcraft has made it significantly easier to collect cosmetics from Legion raids and dungeons

If you're a fan of collecting cosmetic armor sets in World of Warcraft, this should be a pretty good week for you. As a part of the recent update, Blizzard has made it so Legion raids and dungeons now follow the 'Legacy Loot' system, which should make it considerably easier to acquire those fancy tier sets.
Basically, what Legacy Loot means is that instead of only getting one piece of personalized loot every couple of bosses, each boss will now drop an entire raid's worth of items for you and your group. Naturally, these items might not be usable for your class, but even so, the odds of you getting what you want will be heavily increased simply due to the amount of loot involved.
