[Update]: After a small delay, Diablo 2: Resurrected's Patch 2.4 has now been unleashed.
In an effort to increase the amount of endgame viable builds, as well as to make messing around with new characters a more enjoyable time, the Diablo 2 Resurrected team is currently getting ready to release the chunky Patch 2.4. Unfortunately, instead of the update launching later this month as previously announced, Patch 2.4 has now been delayed until April 14th.
"So, what happened here? As you may recall, we have been working through extensive updates on the backend and database services for the game," explains the developer update. "Last week, we had some extended downtime for D2R which was to implement the final batch of changes from our PTR to our production environments. During this update, we unfortunately ran into quite a few showstoppers that did not appear on PTR but were present in production environments."

Continuing on with the same theme as The Evil Within, Tango Gameworks' freshly released Ghostwire: Tokyo is a horror focused action game. It'll task you with exploring a variety of supernaturally infested locations all throughout Tokyo, fighting an assortment of demons and spirits inspired by Japanese mythology, as well as with figuring out just what in the world is happening before things get really out of hand.
You can get a pretty good idea of what all of this looks like in action, as well as what sort of atmosphere Ghostwire: Tokyo is going for, through the recently posted trailer. Have a peek:

As the name might suggest, The Planet Crafter is a large-scale survival game that will task you with terraforming an entire planet on your own! In order to do so you'll need to gather resources and craft advanced tools, build complex machines to create a breathable atmosphere and drinkable water, deal with all sorts of natural disasters like meteor showers, and ideally manage all of that without starving to death on a hostile planet.
If you're curious what all of this looks like in action, as well as how much you can truly change the planet itself, you'll find your answers in the brief trailer below. Have a peek:

[Update]: After exactly a year in Early Access, Sons Of The Forest's Version 1.0 has now been unleashed!
If you were looking forward to chopping down trees and mutant cannibals in equal measure once Sons of the Forest arrives this May 20th, you might want to start making other plans. According to the freshly posted developer update, the sequel to the 2018 survival-horror The Forest has now been pushed back a couple of months.
"Over these past few weeks, we have realized that our May 2022 release date for Sons Of The Forest was overly ambitious," explains the brief announcement. "To be able to deliver our vision of the next step in survival games, we’ve decided to move our release date to October 2022."
Dota 2's Spring Cleaning 2022 update has brought a whole bunch of quality-of-life improvements

[Update #2]: Dota 2's "larger than normal" Patch 7.31d will be launching on June 8th, 2022.
[Update]: Dota 2's Patch 7.31c has toned down annoying heroes like Primal Beast and Death Prophet.
As a part of the recent and rather massive Update 7.31 Dota 2 added the Primal Beast as a new hero, reworked Techies into more of a classic support, completely changed how all of the jungle creeps act, as well as tweaked a whole bunch of heroes and items. Unfortunately, the update also brought with it some rather unwelcome guests - heaps of bugs!
So in order to sort out these fresh new problems, as well as to finally implement some quality-of-life changes the community has been asking for literal years, Valve has now unleashed the appropriately titled Spring Cleaning 2022 update. Unsurprisingly, there's a whole category dedicated to Rubick alone!
It looks like Fortnite will be making the 'no building' mode a permanent addition

[Update]: It's official, Fortnite has made the "Zero Build" mode a permanent new addition.
As a part of a recent and absolutely bizarre storyline, Fortnite removed the ability to build things in its default game mode. I fully expected this to be a small experiment that might eventually lead to an additional 'no builds' game mode, but as it turns out, that one might be coming sooner than expected!
While no official announcement has been made just yet, multiple dataminers have discovered numerous references to 'no builds' modes in Fortnite's files. So if you're a fan of looking at landscapes uncluttered by massive fortresses, you'll be happy to hear that the 'no builds' setting will likely be made available for solos, duos, trios and squads!
