Battlerite Royale's gameplay trailer has arrived ahead of its September 26th Early Access launch

Battlerite Royale, as you would expect from the name alone, will be taking Battlerite's skillshot-based gameplay away from the tiny arenas and into a large, open world filled with items to loot, abilities to acquire, and naturally, enemies to clobber. If you've played any Battle Royale game then Battlerite Royale should instantly feel familiar, though also quite different as the playstyle of each hero is both unique and intricate, meaning that the gameplay is a fair bit more complex than usual.
While the recently posted trailer won't exactly show you all of the details behind Battlerite Royale, it should still give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. So if you're curious about how Battlerite's gameplay has been translated into a Battle Royale game mode, you'll find the launch trailer right below:
Despite the company's collapse, Telltale is actively looking to ensure The Walking Dead: The Final Season gets finished

Despite their last few episodes receiving heaps of praise, Telltale Games have unfortunately announced that they are laying off the majority of their employees and slowly closing down their doors. As expected, this has resulted in the cancellation of the long-awaited The Wolf Among Us 2, as well as put the newly released and still unfinished The Walking Dead: The Final Season in a very awkward position.
Episode 2: Suffer the Children will be arriving later today as it was completed before the company went bankrupt, but the final two episodes are currently in a bit of a limbo. While nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, there does appear to be some hope on the horizon as Telltale has just revealed that they are actively working on making sure The Walking Dead: The Final Season ends up being completed, in one form or another.
Death Stranding's latest trailer shows off the 'big bad' and a gigantic new monster

Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima's upcoming action game that has made quite a name for itself with utterly bizarre and yet still intriguing trailers. There are basically no details about what the actual gameplay will be like, but from what I can piece together from various interviews it would appear that we will be exploring a realm beyond death, and that our actions will have significant consequences on the world of the living.
How exactly all of that translates into action gameplay, I'm afraid I can offer you no answers, but what I can show you is the recently posted and rather gorgeous trailer. It mostly just shows off the 'big bad' and one of the gigantic monsters, so unlike the past few trailers you should have a relatively easy time following what in the world is going on. Have a gander and make sure to turn your volume up a bit:
Sunless Skies, the sequel to the excellent Sunless Sea, has been pinned for a January 31st release date

Sunless Skies, much like its well-renowned predecessor Sunless Sea, is an exploration focused adventure set in the absolutely bizarre and intriguing Fallen London universe. As you explore the great expanse you will need to carefully balance your resources, keep a close eye on your crew as terror and madness lurk at every corner, and as is tradition, do your very best to not get chomped on by the endless horrors that lurk in the darkness.
If you're interested in seeing how all of this translates into actual gameplay, as well as what the Fallen London universe has to offer, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer for the Eleutheria update. It's a bit of a strange video, but I feel like it does a pretty good job of showcasing what Sunless Skies is about, so give it a look:
Overwatch devs are aware of Roadhog's unfortunate position and are working on buffing him

In the olden days of Overwatch there was a hero Winston, D.Va and all of their flanking buddies dreaded to face. He was slow and fat, an incredibly easy target, yet his damage was so strong that they just couldn't randomly dash into the backline due to the threat he posed. The hero I'm talking about is obviously Roadhog, and back in the day he was an incredible bodyguard for his fellow supports as he just didn't take any nonsense from squishy heroes that would seek to harm them.
These days, however, Roadhog is objectively one of the worst heroes in Overwatch. His damage has been reduced to the point that his hook+shoot+melee combo is incredibly inconsistent and often fails against the targets he needs to finish off the most, while his hook has slowly but surely recovered all of the bugs Blizzard fixed throughout the first year of Overwatch. A truly sad fate for a hero to whom I owe my very first entry into GM.
MTG Arena will become available to everyone on September 27th with the start of the Open Beta

If you've been itching to give MTG Arena a try but you haven't had much luck getting a Closed Beta key, worry not as the Open Beta is just around the corner. According to the most recent developer update, MTG Arena will be closing down its doors on September 24th, only to then blow them wide open on September 27th with the launch of the long-awaited Open Beta.
As previously announced, the start of the Open Beta will wipe all progress from currently active accounts. A bit unfortunate if you've invested serious amounts of time in the Closed Beta, but still something that needs to be done in order to keep the game nice and fair for both beginners and veterans alike. That said, if you've purchased any gems or welcome bundles, those will be returned to you despite the account wipe.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be arriving this October 12th for both PC and consoles. While it will not feature a traditional singleplayer campaign, Black Ops 4 will bring with it various story-focused solo missions, the usual batch of multiplayer shenanigans including a massive new Battle Royale game mode, and naturally, a new and improved Zombies mode.
So if you're curious about what sort of insane abominations you'll be fighting against this time, as well as where Black Ops 4 differs from its predecessors, allow me to share with you the recently posted and fairly lengthy in-game trailer. Have a look, it really is quite an interesting video:
