[Update #2]: Sam's Story DLC has now been released, and it seems to be a fair bit larger than its predecessor.
[Update]: Metro Exodus will be coming back to Steam on February 15th, one day after the exclusivity deal expires.
If you've finished up Metro Exodus and you're now left yearning for more, you'll be glad to hear that the second-story focused expansion will be arriving this February 11th. Much like the first expansion, Sam's Story will not be focusing on the series' protagonist Artyom, but rather on a brand new character - Sam, a lone US marine desperately searching for a way back home.
"Sam has long dreamed of returning to his homeland, and maybe finding his family alive," reads the brief description. "The prospect seemed impossible in the darkened tunnels of the Metro, but when the Spartans discovered that Moscow was not the only city left alive after the war, holding out hope didn’t feel so foolish anymore."

[Update #2]: It took a while, but the enhanced version of the Final Fantasy VII Remake has now landed onto PC!
[Update]: Square Enix has now released the lengthy cinematic intro for the Final Fantasy VII remake.
The remake of the classic JRPG Final Fantasy VII will be making its way to the PlayStation 4 this March 3rd. However, according to its recently revealed box, Final Fantasy VII is only going to be a timed exclusive for the PS4. In other words, it's very likely that Final Fantasy VII will arrive onto PC and Xbox One at some point in 2021.
Continuing on with the good news, Square Enix has now also revealed a brand new gameplay trailer that highlights the updated storyline, characters and voice acting. Have a gander, there's a lot of new gameplay footage:

[Update]: The first of these updates has arrived, bringing with it the Resident Evil 2 cross-over event and Rajang to the PC version.
After quite a long wait since the release of the consoles versions, Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne finally arrived onto PC a little while ago. Besides some unfortunate technical problems, the PC version also ended up with a noticeably lower amount of content than its counterparts, all because of the updates that were released post-launch.
Thankfully, it seems that we won't be getting a repeat of the Monster Hunter: World scenario where the PC version was permanently behind on both features and monsters. According to the newly released roadmap, the PC and console versions will be achieving parity this April!

[Update]: Blackwing Lair and its accompanying features have now arrived to World of Warcraft: Classic!
If you're tired of the endless fires of Molten Core and you're looking for a bit of variety, I have both good and bad news. The good news is that the Blackwing Lair raid is set to arrive this February 12th, while the bad news is that it once again features a whole bunch of fire-breathing monsters and endless corridors.
Besides Blackwing Lair, the update will also add the long-awaited level 50 class quests. While these might not sound impressive on paper, they each offer a selection of three powerful rare items, some of which are so strong that you might just struggle to replace them even in raids!

[Update]: Trails of Cold Steel III now has a lengthy and highly detailed demo available for the PC version!
The first two Trails of Cold Steel games released onto PC via Steam in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and both have since then acquired a massive amount of positive reviews. So if you're in the mood for another story-rich JRPG, you might be glad to hear that Trails of Cold Steel III will be coming to PC this March 23rd as well!
Much like its predecessors, the PC version of Trails of Cold Steel III will bring with it a variety of enhancements. You can expect to see ultrawide screen support, fully customizable keybinds, enhanced visuals, auto-save functionality, and perhaps most importantly of all, the ability to speed up the gameplay by up to six times!

[Update]: Rocket League has gone free-to-play alongside a major new update.
In a bit of a surprising announcement, Psyonix has now come out to say that they will soon be ending support for both macOS and Linux platforms. Their final update will be in March, after which all online functionality (including in-game purchases and matchmaking) will be disabled entirely.
On the positive side, offline features like local matches and splitscreen play will remain fully accessible. Furthermore, if you've purchased Rocket League for Mac or Linux on Steam, you will be able to continue playing on the Windows version without an additional purchase or a reset on your profile.
