Dead By Daylight is bringing in Silent Hill's Pyramid Head and Cherly Mason

At this point, Dead By Daylight is basically the ultimate horror cross-over game, and things are only looking to get crazier as time goes on. It already features the likes of Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, Ghost Face and even Left 4 Dead's eternally-grumpy Bill, and soon the roster will be expanded once more with Silent Hill's Cherly Mason and Pyramid Head.
Besides the aforementioned killer and survivor, the upcoming DLC Chapter will also add an iconic location from Silent Hill as a brand new map - the Midwich Elementary School. Expect to see a nightmarish maze of twisting hallways, slowly rotting scenery, and plenty of oppressive darkness to help with the atmosphere.
Time-bending arena shooter Quantum League has now landed onto Steam

If you're a fan of games with highly unusual and rather innovative mechanics, you should definitely check out the newly launched Quantum League. It's essentially an arena shooter where you and your opponent are stuck in a time loop, with each new round only adding more variables to further fuel the chaos.
Once you're done with your first duel, you'll be able to re-enter the arena again as a different iteration of yourself and then either attempt to save your past self by countering whatever got them killed, or just create an entirely different battle for your opponent to contend with. It's about as wacky as it sounds, but somehow it actually works pretty well!
The Sims 4's sustainability-focused expansion pack Eco Lifestyle is coming this June 5th

The Sims 4's latest content pack Eco Lifestyle is set to arrive this June 5th for both PC and consoles. Among other things, Eco Lifestyle will bring with it the ability to produce your own electricity and water through the use of solar panels, wind turbines and dew collectors. Relying on these types of green technologies will ensure the skies stay blue and the rivers remain clear, while the opposite will see your cities covered in smog, the rivers polluted, and the neighborhoods riddled with trash.
You'll also have the ability to collaborate with your neighborhood through the new voting board and ensure major changes happen everywhere at once. Provided you can manage to convince enough people that your course of action is the correct one anyway! And if you're just in it for the decorations, Eco Lifestyle will also be adding a variety of pre-used items that you can buy or scavenge yourself, as well as furniture and technology made from reclaimed materials.
Upcoming Destroy All Humans! remake now has a free demo available

A remake of the original Destroy All Humans! is set to arrive this July 28th for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Expect to see greatly improved visuals, an assortment of over-the-top and cheesy weapons, large cities to explore and inevitably ruin, as well as a brand new (and previously only rumored) mission set in Area 42.
If you're wondering what all of this nonsense might look like in-game, allow me to share with you one of the gameplay trailers. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:
Total War: Warhammer 2 beta update has fixed the devastating weapon strength bug
- By Ash
- in News
Total War: Warhammer 2 just recently added The Warden & The Paunch DLC alongside a massive Greenskins rework. The rework made it so Waaagh! armies are now significantly more fun to manage, scrap has been introduced as a new means of upgrading Greenskins troops, while the new tech tree ensures that even the lowliest goblins can become viable in the end-game.
While all of that is certainly a solid addition, the update unfortunately brought with it a rather sinister bug as well - any additional weapon strength is simply not being counted. So if you're wondering why Grimgor with his 900 weapon strength seems to be struggling to beat up a skirt-wearing Empire wizard, that would be your answer. He and the other units are permanently stuck on their initial weapon damage, and no matter what items, Waaagh! buffs or events that pop up, they will never move from that number no matter what the unit card says.
Physics based bridge-builder Poly Bridge 2 has now been unleashed onto Steam

Much like its predecessor, Poly Bridge 2 has now arrived in order to show everyone exactly how hard the job of an architect truly is. Expect to see numerous bridge-related puzzles that revolve around safely guiding lunatic drivers from one end of the map to another, as well as a slow descent into madness once you realize your carefully constructed bridges are about as effective as ramshackle scrapheaps that fall apart after one use.
As for what exactly this looks like in gameplay terms, the first part anyway, that you'll find out through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a little peek:
Doom Eternal PC update has removed the highly controversial Denuvo Anti-Cheat

A short while ago, Doom Eternal received a fairly hefty new update. It brought in Empowered Demons to spice up the singleplayer campaign, prestige leveling that lets you continue unlocking fancy insignias even after you've hit level 250, as well as an assortment of quality-of-life changes and bug fixes.
Unfortunately, all of the good stuff in the update was overshadowed by the inclusion of Denuvo Anti-Cheat in both multiplayer and singleplayer. Given that the playerbase was already riled up due to Riot's somewhat similar anti-cheat for Valorant making a big mess, the addition of Denuvo Anti-Cheat to Doom Eternal quickly resulted in massive amounts of complaints and negative reviews on Steam.
