[Update #2]: The April 2022 Streets of New Capenna set is all about demons, gangsters and demon gangsters.
[Update]: MTG Arena's April 7th Alchemy update will buff Elves, Warriors and Equipment.
After releasing two fairly small content updates for the new and digital-only Alchemy format, Wizards of the Coast is now looking to take things to the next level. As such, once it arrives this July the Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate set will bring with it hundreds of new cards to play around with, a new draft environment to explore, as well as the first non-Standard Mastery Pass.
While the exact contents of Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate have not been revealed just yet, you can expect to see an assortment of cards directly taken from Commander Legends: Battle at Baldur's Gate, a bunch of cards from the same set digitally rebalanced for 1v1 play, as well as brand new Dungeons & Dragons themed cards. Similarly the list of formats hasn't been announced yet, but I think it's safe to say these cards will be legal in Alchemy, Historic and Historic Brawl.

Inspired by Borderlands 2's highly popular DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, the freshly released Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a ridiculously over-the-top homage to the RPG genre. It brings with it six character classes that you can mix and match talents from, a world filled with treasure chests to pillage and quests to complete, mountains upon mountains of procedurally generated weapons, and naturally, a whole host of fantasy monsters to clobber over and over again.
What all of this looks like in actual gameplay, that you can get a pretty good idea of through the remarkably lengthy developer preview below. Have a gander:

[Update]: Lego Bricktales has now arrived, and there's even a free demo available!
After playing around with bridges for more than a decade at this point, it look like the ClockStone team has decided to aim a little bit higher with their next game. So instead of simply constructing ramshackle bridges that stand only on faith alone, you'll soon be able to create even more elaborate monstrosities in the freshly announced Lego Bricktales!
As the name might suggest, Lego Bricktales will be a story focused adventure that will have you solve a wide variety of puzzles by building an assortment of Lego contraptions, brick by brick. And yes, some of those puzzles will indeed task you with making a Lego bridge!

[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."

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."
