Dark Souls inspired Mortal Shell launched back in August for PC and consoles alongside a pretty good reception. So in order to thank the fans for all of their support, the Mortal Shell team has now set loose a free Halloween update!
The Rotten Autumn brings with it ten unique war-paints and armor trims to play dress-up with, a brand new quest centered around the big ol' frog Gorf, as well as a whole bunch of new death metal music courtesy of the band Rotting Christ. And if you're in the mood for showing off your newly found cosmetics, there is also a photo mode that allows you to tweak a whole bunch of things in order to capture the perfect image.
Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Legion has now been unleashed onto PC and consoles

If you're a fan of messing around with open world games and causing as much chaos as humanly possible, you'll be happy to hear that Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Legion has now been unleashed onto PC and consoles. The key difference between Legion and the previous Watch Dogs games is that there is no main protagonist. You can play as anyone, be that a highly skilled acrobat that moonlights as a hacker, or even a sweet old lady that can barely jump, let alone fistfight her way through a horde of terrorists.
As for what exactly all of this nonsense might look like in actual gameplay, that you can find out through two of the recent trailers. Have a gander, starting with the launch trailer:
Valorant's cursed Update 1.11 will be making a return on Monday, November 2nd

As a part of the recent Update 1.11, Valorant added a brand new agent by the name of Skye, as well as a whole bunch of really interesting balance changes and quality of life improvements. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the update also arrived alongside an assortment of gamebreaking bugs and issues.
If you're curious just how gamebreaking we're talking about here, let's just say that simply standing within Omen's smoke field would completely blind you as your screen would be entirely filled with Sage's texture files. There was also a bunch of problems with abilities not working properly, most notably Omen's blind and Brimstone's smokes, so it's no wonder that Riot quickly decided to pull the update back.

The upcoming Season 7 update will be one of the biggest Apex Legends has ever seen. Not only will it add the beautiful floating city of Olympus as a new map, but there will also be a new squad-based transport vehicle called the Trident, a new gravity-bending legend by the name of Horizon, the very first guild/club system, as well as whole bunch of balance changes and cosmetics. It really is going to be a big update!
If you're curious what some of this might look like in action, most notably the new Olympus map and Trident transport, then you might want to check out two of the recent trailers. The first is an animated one showing off Horizon's personality and some of the story, while the second one is all about the actual gameplay and the locations you'll be able to visit throughout Olympus. Have a gander, both are pretty fun:

A few months have gone by since Deep Rock Galactic was unleashed from Steam Early Access, and if you're itching for even more content to dig your pickaxes into, you'll be happy to hear a major new update has just arrived. Update 32 brings with it two new mission types, a whole bunch of new cosmetics, plenty of balance changes and bug fixes, as well as even more variation when it comes to the randomized maps.
The first of these two new missions is all about harvesting liquid Morkite. You'll need to find the various wells scattered throughout the map, build gigantic pipelines leading back to your refinery, and then extract every single bit of precious Morkite you can while doing your very best to avoid dying to the endless onslaught of bugs and other critters.
World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion will be launching for real this November 23rd

After seeing the beta plagued with far too many bugs and random problems, Blizzard chose to delay World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion in order to give the team enough time to get everything polished up and ready to go. With that in mind, you'll be happy to hear that they appear to be nearly finished as the Shadowlands expansion will be officially launching at 3pm PST on November 23, or 12am CET on November 24 for us in Europe.
"Since we first told you about our decision to delay, we’ve used the time to further polish the expansion and shore up the endgame, including overhauling the combat and rewards in the Maw, and reworking the Covenant systems to make your choice more immediately impactful and have clearer long-term goals," reads the brief update. "Now the team is in a great position to get things the rest of the way to the finish line before November 23—and as always, we’re committed to working with you to improve the game for as long as you’re out there playing it."
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice update has added mighty new challenges and fancy new outfits to unlock

Quite a long time has gone by since Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice first launched, but I'm happy to say that FromSoftware has now returned with a major new update in tow! The update brings with it new challenges, unlockable outfits, as well as a brand new way to interact with your fellow players.
First things first, the update has added the Reflection of Strength, which allows you to use any of the Sculptor’s Idols to rematch defeated bosses. Besides the sheer pleasure of stomping over bosses that previously gave you trouble, the Reflection of Strength is going to be extremely helpful for those attempting to beat the second newly added challenge - the Gauntlet of Strength.
