[Update]: No More Heroes 3 has now arrived, and while the game is fun, the PC port is unfortunately a bit barebones.
After spending about a year exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, the comedic hack and slash adventure No More Heroes 3 is now getting ready to embrace a bunch of new platforms. You can expect to see it land onto PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S in Fall 2022, though no exact date has been given just yet.
As far as the improvements are concerned, so far it looks like No More Heroes 3 will bring with it the usual fare. In other words, there will be improved visuals, higher and more stable framerates, as well as faster loading times to get you into the action as quickly as possible.

At this point I'm basically convinced XCOM 3 is going to get announced some time soon. Not only has XCOM 2 been a part of one massive sale after another for the past few months, but Firaxis is now giving it away for free as well!
So if you're in the mood for some turn-based strategy goodness, head on over to the Epic Games Store to grab yourself a free copy of XCOM 2. The giveaway will only last until April 21st, however, so do make sure to add it to your account as soon as you can. Once you've done that you won't have to worry about any sort of time limits - it'll be yours to keep.

[Update #2]: Cyberpunk 2077's very first expansion Phantom Liberty will be heading to PC and consoles in 2023.
[Update]: CDPR has unleashed a roguelike singleplayer expansion for Gwent - Rogue Mage.
As a part of the recent financial call, CD Projekt Red has revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 has an expansion currently in the works. While the details are basically nonexistent, you can expect to see it arrive at some point in 2023. More information, along with the full reveal, will be coming later this year.
The good news doesn't end there as The Molasses Flood, the studio behind The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow, are currently working on a brand new game based on one of CD Project Red's franchises. Considering that CD Project Red has only created games in the Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 universes, it's definitely going to be one of those two. Which one, however, that we're going to have to wait a little while in order to find out.

[Update]: After years of silence, Diablo Immortal is heading into open beta for PC and mobile in July 2022.
After being delayed for a couple of weeks in order to ensure a newfound bug doesn't mess anything up, Diablo 2: Resurrected's hefty Patch 2.4 has now finally arrived. The update brings with it a variety of buffs to some previously underutilized or straight up terrible abilities, as well as paves the way for the long-awaited competitive Ladder.
Once Season 1 properly starts this April 28th you'll have a chance to compete in four different modes: Classic which encompasses the first four acts, Hardcore Classic where you only have one life to play around with, Expansion Ladder that spans all of Diablo 2: Resurrected's content, as well as Hardcore Expansion Ladder. Each mode will require you to start with a completely fresh character, so even if you've just started playing Diablo 2: Resurrected, it'll be an entirely even playing field.

[Update]: The Legend of Runersia has now arrived onto PC, and as expected, it's quite the tricky one!
If you're in the mood for some oldschool turn-based tactics action, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia.

No Man's Sky's new Outlaws update is all about space combat and skirting the rule of law

[Update #2]: No Man’s Sky's Update 4.0 is all about fine-tuning your gameplay experience and level of challenge.
[Update]: No Man's Sky's July Endurance update has overhauled freighters and added strange organic frigates.
No Man's Sky's previous Sentinel update overhauled ground combat and added new robotic AI companions, and now the freshly released Outlaws update has done something very similar for space combat! As such, you're now able to recruit roaming pilots into your squadron, manage and train them to improve their skills and efficiency, and then have them accompany you in large-scale battles or simply to watch the fancy new destruction effects for ships, asteroids, freighters and space cargo.
There are now also outlaw stations scattered throughout the galaxy, completely devoid of any authority or protection. While potentially dangerous, these outlaw stations are a great place to acquire new technology, trade with contraband items, as well as undertake a variety of new missions. And if you're so inclined, you can also attempt to smuggle some of these ill-gotten goods to other systems for a large profit... provided you can manage to avoid getting caught by the Sentinel authorities!
