After a few rounds of rumors and leaks, the latest of which pretty much spoiled the entire surprise, Blizzard has now finally and officially spilled the beans. And so, in an announcement that I'm sure comes as a massive shock, Blizzard has now unveiled Burning Crusade Classic!
The exact release date hasn't been given just yet, but Burning Crusade Classic will definitely be launching in 2021, while its beta test will be starting up in the near future. It'll be pretty much the same scenario as with the original WoW Classic - all of the old features and content will be present and accounted for in their original form, just slightly spruced up in order to work on modern machines.

After Anthem's disappointing launch and dwindling player numbers, BioWare decided to put all updates on hold in order to rework both the gameplay and progression systems from the ground up. Unfortunately, it seems that may have been too big of a task, even for a studio as experienced as BioWare. As such, I'm sad to say that development on Anthem has now been officially canceled.
"In the spirit of transparency and closure we wanted to share that we’ve made the difficult decision to stop our new development work on Anthem (aka Anthem NEXT)," reads the brief announcement. "We will, however, continue to keep the Anthem live service running as it exists today."
Nioh 2 PC Review - One of the very best Souls-like RPGs out there

Despite having some incredibly tough competition in the Souls-like genre, Nioh 2 has managed to genuinely impress me with its balance of combat, customization and exploration. Rather than simply copy games like Dark Souls and call it a day, Nioh 2 has brought in plenty of its own unique and interesting ideas, some of which are very likely to become staples of the genre moving forward.
So if you're wondering what the PC version of Nioh 2 is all about, as well as how exactly it fares when compared to the rest of the Souls-likes, allow me to give you my thoughts now that I've lived and breathed Nioh 2 for well over a week.
Telltale's terrific Tales from the Borderlands has now finally returned for both PC and consoles

When Telltale Games shut down in 2018 their games quickly got pulled from digital storefronts. The immensely popular ones like The Walking Dead series returned with remarkable speed, while the rest ended up getting stuck in legal limbo. A fair bit of time has gone by since then, but I'm happy to say that a brand new game has just managed to escape that living nightmare!
The game in question is the truly terrific Tales from the Borderlands, a choice-driven adventure that takes place between Borderlands 2 and 3. So if you're in the mood for a heavily story focused Borderlands game, you can now once again pick it up on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, while the Switch version will be launching on March 24, 2021.

The remake of the classic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was originally supposed to arrive in January, but due to the pandemic throwing a wrench into things, Ubisoft chose to postpone it to March 18th. Unfortunately, it seems that even that was too optimistic as Ubisoft has now come out to announce yet another delay.
"Since announcing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in September, we saw an outpouring of feedback from you on this beloved franchise," reads the brief update. "It is your passion and support that is driving our development teams to make the best game possible."

As a part of a recent announcement, Activision has revealed that Crash Bandicoot 4 will be heading over to PS5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as Nintendo Switch on March 12th. The good news doesn't end there, however, as a separate post has unveiled that the PC version is in the works as well!
Unfortunately, while the console have a firmly set release date, the exact launch of the PC version is currently shrouded in mystery. That said, Activision has stated that the PC version is "coming soon" and has already opened up pre-orders on BattleNet. So if we're lucky, Crash Bandicoot 4 might just slide-jump over to PC a month or two after the consoles.
