After what feels like an eternity of waiting, Red Dead Redemption 2 was finally announced for PC a little while ago. Thankfully, we won't have to wait as long for the full release as Read Dead Redemption 2 will be riding onto PC in the near future, on November 5th!
When it comes to additional features, the PC version will bring with it a variety of technical enhancements, as well as "a host of exciting new content additions for the game's Story Mode." What this actually means is that you can expect to see new hideouts, weapons, horses, missions and trinkets, as well as increased draw distance, better shadows and lighting, greatly updated grass and fur textures, and a variety of similar graphical improvements.
Total War: Warhammer 2's Gotrek and Felix DLC is now available for free

Gotrek and Felix, the two legendary adventures with quite a few books behind them, have been a part of Total War: Warhammer 2 for a little while now. However, unless you purchased a physical copy of the White Dwarf magazine, you simply couldn't play around with them yourself.
This period of exclusivity is now thankfully over, and so the Gotrek and Felix DLC is entirely free to grab for everyone! The only catch is that you'll need to create a Total War Access account in order to unlock them, though that's a fairly simple and straightforward procedure so I wouldn't complain about it too much.
Dota Underlords devs have released a preview for the upcoming "Big Update"

While Dota Underlords has continued to receive patches over the past few months, they weren't exactly massive in size, or all that exciting to mess around with. The reason for this, as Valve has announced recently, is because all of their efforts have been going towards the release version and its accompanying "Big Update."
There is still no release date for the Big Update, but according to the most recent preview, it will be here in the very near future! So in order to help pass the time, as well as showcase what the update itself will bring, Valve has now released the first in a series of previews.
Apex Legends' Halloween update has arrived alongside a new game mode and themed cosmetics

Apex Legends' Season 3 update has only just arrived, and already Respawn has unleashed a new dose of content. This time around we're not talking about a new map or legend, however, but rather about a variety of new cosmetics and a rather interesting Halloween themed game mode.
Shadowfall, the new game mode, is a free-for-all deathmatch that takes place in an appropriately spooky version of Kings Canyon. Things start off fairly familiar with you and 34 other solo players dropping across the map, but once the bloodbath begins the whole game mode will take on an entirely different tone.
The base version of Crusader Kings 2 appears to have gone entirely free-to-play

Crusader Kings 2 has been free to try out many times before, but this time around it appears to have actually gone free-to-play. I say "appears" because the brief announcement doesn't say how long this free-to-play period will last, but since there is no end date listed on Steam like there was for the previous promotions, I think odds are good that Crusader Kings 2 has actually gone completely free now.
Whatever the case may be, I'm sure there are quite a few of you wondering whether Crusader Kings 2 is actually worth your time, to which I would say the answer is a definitive yes if you're a fan of grand strategy games or just enjoy creating your very own stories. After all, it's not every day you can take a petty insult from the AI and turn it into a life-long feud that culminates in the stupidest man you could possibly find taking control of their empire and promptly running it into the dirt.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been delayed until later in 2020

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was originally supposed to launch at some point in March, 2020. However, according to the latest announcement, it would appear that the release date has now been pushed back to a rather nebulous "later in 2020."
"For the last three and a half years, we’ve worked hard to bring you a worthy successor to Bloodlines 1," reads the latest developer update. "To us, that meant not only making good on the ambitions of this remarkable game, but also a duty to ensure we would not repeat its mistakes."
Total War: Warhammer 2 update has now addressed the campaign crashes and multiplayer balance

Ever since the recent The Hunter & The Beast DLC, Total War: Warhammer 2's multiplayer campaign mode has unfortunately been broken for quite a few people. For whatever reason, and regardless of which mods were active, the campaign simply couldn't be loaded from a save file. Not exactly ideal, especially when the problem could also manifest itself in singleplayer campaigns as well!
Thankfully, the latest update has now finally corrected this issue and you can now resume playing your multiplayer campaigns as if nothing happened. Similarly, the soft lock that occurred when Gotrek & Felix appeared without you owning the corresponding DLC has now also been fixed, so you should be able to finish your Empire campaign without any sort of interruption.
