[Update #2]: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has arrived, and it's thankfully not a disaster.
[Update]: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed yet again, this time until February 2nd, 2024.
If you were hoping to get your hands on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League at some point this year as previously announced, I'm afraid I have some bad news. According to Rocksteady's Creative Director and co-founder Sefton Hill, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has now been pushed back all the way to Spring 2023.
"We've made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to Spring 2023. I know a delay is frustrating but that time is going into making the best game we can," explains the brief update. "I look forward to bringing the chaos to Metropolis together. Thanks for your patience."

[Update]: The Microsoft Flight Simulator series is celebrating its 40th anniversary this November alongside a big update that will add helicopters, gliders and more!
Ever since its launch, the Microsoft Flight Simulator team has been releasing frequent updates in order to further flesh out certain regions and countries. Back in January they spruced up the entirety of Australia, and now it's time for Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra to get a fresh coat of paint.
You can expect to see a variety of visual improvements based on real world data, four handcrafted airports, nearly a hundred new points of interest to explore, as well as a bunch of enhancements for major cities like Lisbon and Madrid. And just to spice things up, there's also four new discovery flights, five new landing challenges, and the usual assortment of bug fixes.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is an upcoming 4v1 multiplayer game from the Friday the 13th team

If you're familiar with Friday the 13th: The Game or Predator: Hunting Grounds, then you pretty much already know what to expect from IllFonic's freshly announced Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. It's going to be a four vs one multiplayer game where a team of ghostbusters needs to track down and capture a powerful and malicious ghost controlled by the fifth player.
In order to do so the ghostbusters will need to carefully comb through locations like the prison, hotel or museum with their PKE meters to locate the ghost, after which they'll need to subdue it through the use of classic tools like the proton pack or ghost trap. The dastardly ghost on the other hand will be able to summon minions, possess objects and phase through walls, all in an effort to dodge the ghostbusters and eventually force them to retreat by making the location too haunted.
After many years and many delays, Freedom Planet 2 will finally be launching this September 13th

Freedom Planet 2 was originally supposed to release at some point in 2018, but sadly it ran into quite a few hiccups during development and so it had to be delayed time and time and time again. Many years have gone by since then, but I'm happy to say that the long wait will soon be over as Freedom Planet 2 has finally received an actual release date - September 13th, 2022!
"We have previously stated that we would have a spring release date - however, we had to push this back due to a few unforeseen circumstances," explains the brief update. "We are eager to launch on multiple platforms at the same time alongside the PC version, and these additional ports will need more time to go through testing and certification than we anticipated."
The Iron Oath is an upcoming turn-based strategy about managing a mercenary guild through the ages

[Update]: My review for The Iron Oath is now out, and in short it's a promising turn-based strategy, though still quite rough around the edges.
As is tradition for the genre, the upcoming The Iron Oath is all about building up your team, exploring the world in search of treasure and secrets, and naturally, resolving most of your disagreements through good ol' fashioned turn-based combat. However, instead of having just one team you need to take care of, The Iron Oath will task you with managing and financing an entire mercenary guild through the ages!
As time goes by your mercenaries will age, retire or simply become incapacitated, so sticking to just one winning strategy won't get you very far. Instead you'll need to cultivate a diverse roster of mercenaries, foster political relationships with the factions you believe most likely to stand the test of time, and ideally pick and choose contracts that won't make you the least popular person around.
After the success of the new expansion, Guild Wars 2 devs have now announced their plans for the future

[Update #2]: ArenaNet has now detailed the massive class balance update slated for June 28th, 2022.
[Update]: Guild Wars 2's return to Living World Season 1 episodes will be starting on April 19th, 2022.
Guild Wars 2's End of Dragons expansion has arrived only a short while ago, but already it has managed to establish itself as a massive success. Not only has it outsold the previous Path of Fire expansion in a mere few weeks, but Guild Wars 2's playerbase has also more than doubled over the course of the past three years!
So in order to celebrate these achievements, as well as to give everyone something exciting to look forward to, ArenaNet has now revealed their plans for Guild Wars 2's future. These include some expected things like content updates, festivals and bug fixes, but also a rather surprising announcement - there will be a fourth expansion at some point in the future!
World of Warcraft devs are now looking towards reusing old dungeons and raids for endgame content

[Update #2]: World of Warcraft is finally adding cross-faction dungeons and PvP with Update 8.2.5 this June 1st, 2022!
[Update]: World of Warcraft's Dragonflight expansion has been announced alongside a draconic class/race combo - the Dracthyr Evoker.
World of Warcraft's biggest problem, and one that WoW Classic has only managed to slightly solve, is the sheer amount of old and unused content from previous expansions. There's hundreds of quality dungeons and raids present in the game, yet aside from players hunting down the occasional cosmetic item, most of that content is completely ignored since the focus is placed solely on the few new raids and dungeons that have arrived with the latest expansion.
So in an effort to utilize some of this old content, Blizzard has now announced that Shadowlands' Season 4 will bring with it a bunch of new additions to the Mythic+ dungeon pool, while the Shadowlands raids will be retooled with new and more challenging mechanics to help keep them fresh. Here's the brief list showing off which eight dungeons will be a part of Season 4:
