[Update]: Voyage to the Sunken City has now arrived alongside some spicy changes to the Core Set.
As a part of a recent teaser Blizzard announced that they would have some exciting news for Hearthstone in the near future. Well, I'm happy to say they weren't joking. Not only is the upcoming Voyage to the Sunken City looking quite exciting with its focus on gigantic creatures, but the expansion will also be accompanied by a set rotation and revamp of the Core Set!
While the details on the rotation and the Core Set changes are still nonexistent, you can get a bit of an idea of the sort of themes the Hearthstone team is going for with the Voyage to the Sunken City expansion through the freshly posted and refreshingly unique trailer. Have a gander:
The Evil Within studio's spooky action-adventure Ghostwire: Tokyo is arriving this March 25th

[Update]: Ghostwire: Tokyo has now arrived for PC and PS5, and so far it looks like it's following in the footsteps of The Evil Within 1 and 2.
Much like Tango Gameworks previous two games, Ghostwire: Tokyo is an action focused horror game that's all about standing firm against the unknown. In other words, Ghostwire: Tokyo will have you explore surreal versions of iconic Tokyo locations, fight against an assortment of spirits and other supernatural threats, as well as hopefully figure out just what in the world is even happening around you.
What all of this looks like in action, that you can get a bit of a sneak peek at through the recently posted trailer. Have a gander, it's quite an interesting one visually:
Point & click puzzle-adventure Syberia: The World Before has now landed onto PC

Just like the rest of the series, Syberia: The World Before is a point & click adventure game with a heavy focus on storytelling, along with the occasional puzzle to help keep things interesting. Syberia: The World Before does diverge from its predecessors, however, by giving you control over two different characters in two different time periods in order to offer you a better perspective on the world as a whole.
It's also worth mentioning that Syberia: The World Before is the last game the series' original creator Benoît Sokal worked on before passing away last year. So while he sadly never got to see it finished, his touch is definitely present within Syberia: The World Before.
Vermintide 2's fourth anniversary update has just brought in a ton of quality-of-life tweaks

[Update #2]: In celebration of the series' seventh anniversary, Fatshark is both giving away Vermintide 2 and unleashing a brand new map for us to explore!
[Update]: Vermintide 2's June 14th, 2022 update will add Be'lakor's presence to the rogue-like Chaos Wastes.
As a part of its fourth anniversary celebration, Vermintide 2 has now released a gigantic update! The rather plainly named Patch 4.6 brings with it a whole host of quality-of-life improvements based on popular mods, a bunch of bug fixes and balance changes, as well as reworks to Kerillian's Shade and Sister of the Thorn careers to round everything out.
Instead of the previous incarnation that was all about going into stealth and stabbing enemies directly in their face, the newly reworked Shade is more of an assassin that's all about evasion and striking from behind. On the other hand, the Sister of the Thorn has lost some of its impressive damage output in exchange for powerful debuffs and greater control over the flow of combat. Needless to say, any tweaks that makes the careers more distinct and interesting is a positive one!

Total War: Warhammer 3 devs have detailed their plans for the upcoming major Update 1.1 and beyond

[Update #2]: Total War: Warhammer 3's long awaited Immortal Empires campaign is most likely coming in September!
[Update]: Patch 1.1 has now arrived, and it's quite the massive one!
While Total War: Warhammer 3 is a solid game and one that will only get better and better with time, it's currently suffering from some notable gameplay and technical issues. So in an effort to fix most of these problems, as well as to let the players know what's happening, Creative Assembly has now detailed their plans for Update 1.1 and beyond.
First and foremost, Update 1.1 will tweak some of the most annoying aspects of The Realm of Chaos campaign. Negative traits gained by exploring the Chaos realms will be getting reduced across the board, while winning the final survival battle will remove them entirely. And if you hate seeing portals pop up all over your lands, the "Protection" building chain will be getting buffed in order to prevent rifts from spawning in their province.

[Update #2]: MTG Arena's April 7th Alchemy update will buff Elves, Warriors and Equipment.
[Update]: MTG Arena will be adding a bunch of Commander Legends cards with July 2022's Alchemy Horizons set.
In an effort to shake up the Alchemy metagame and push it even further away from Standard, the MTG Arena team has now released the second Alchemy-exclusive mini-set. As the name might suggest, Alchemy: Kamigawa brings with it 30 new digital-only cards with mechanics focused around bolstering some of the new deck archetypes and ideas introduced with the highly popular Kamigawa set.
What these cards look like, as well as what they have to offer, that you can find out over at the MTG website. As always, the cards are all neatly sorted by color, so it should be pretty easy to get a solid idea of what Wizards of the Coast was trying to do with them.
