After going through some rough patches at the very start, Fallout 76 has slowly but surely managed to carve itself a nice and comfortable niche. So if you ever to dive in and see what a multiplayer take on Fallout might be like, this would be a pretty good time to do so as Bethesda has just committed to supporting Fallout 76 all throughout 2022.
According to the freshly released roadmap, the first of the big updates will arrive in Spring alongside alien invaders, new public events, and new random encounters. Spring will also bring with it a Fallout Worlds update which will add the ability to earn SCORE, as well as the release of Season 8: A Better Life Undreground.

Much like its predecessor FAR: Lone Sails, FAR: Changing Tides is a highly atmospheric adventure game based around maintaining, upgrading and exploring the world with a rusty yet charming vehicle. This time around the vehicle in question will be a boat that is equally capable of sailing through stormy waters and diving into the unknown depths, all the while providing a safe and comfortable home.
As for the actual gameplay, once it arrives this March 1st FAR: Changing Tides will have you navigate the high seas, scrounge for materials and precious fuel, overcome all sorts of puzzles and environmental dangers, and slowly figure out just what your mysterious boat is truly capable of. What this looks like in action, however, that you can check out through one of the trailers below. Have a peek:
Dwarf Fortress devs have revealed their roadmap and plans for the upcoming Steam release

[Update]: Dwarf Fortress' new and improved version has now landed onto Steam, and I'm happy to say that it has done so alongside overwhelmingly positive reviews!.
While Dwarf Fortress is a genuinely impressive game that can churn out amazing stories on a frequent basis, actually playing it is a bit of a nightmare. Besides having to learn its intricacies and figure out how to keep your Dwarves from killing themselves within the first week, you also need to wrangle with the somewhat obtuse graphics and the overwhelming amount of available options, which as you might expect is quite the ordeal.
So in order to make the learning process easier and the visuals far simpler to understand, the Dwarf Fortress team began work on a greatly enhanced Steam version. Quite a lot of time has gone by since then, but I'm happy to say that the full release is now finally coming into view!

[Update]: Shadow Warrior 3 has now arrived for PC and consoles with a short but explosive campaign.
After going through a bit of a delay, Shadow Warrior 3 will be launching onto PC, PlayStation and Xbox this March 1, 2022. Once it arrives it'll bring with it an overabundance of intentionally terrible one-liners, a whole host of wacky enemies to slice and dice into ribbons, as well as plenty of explosions that are far more colorful than you might expect.
What all of this looks like in actual gameplay, however, that you can find out through the recently posted and rather lengthy gameplay preview. Have a gander, it even has a little surprise for Shadow Warrior 1 fans:

Despite having a loyal cult following, both the Might and Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic series have sadly faded away over the years. Thankfully, there is some light on the horizon as it looks like Ubisoft is interested in bringing the Might and Magic world back through a new AAA game!
Don't get too excited, however, as there is currently no information available about the game in question since it hasn't even been properly announced yet. That said, a listing on the Ubisoft website reveals that they are looking for people to join their Might & Magic AAA project, so a new game is clearly in development.

If you're just looking for an excuse to dive back into Destiny 2, the freshly released The Witch Queen expansion should be a pretty good one. As the name might suggest, The Witch Queen brings with it a new story campaign that will have you face off against Savathun and her vast Hive army, while simultaneously trying to figure out just how she has managed to steal the Light.
On the gameplay side of things you can expect to see the ability to create custom weaponry with unique stat combinations and mods, along with a brand new Glaive weapon type for those of you that like to get up close and personal. There's also a chunky new location to explore, a variety of changes and tweaks including the complete redesign of the Void subclass, and naturally, a whole host of new loot to acquire.

[Update #2]: World of Warcraft devs are now looking towards reusing old dungeons and raids for endgame content!
[Update]: World of Warcraft's next big expansion will be unveiled on April 19, 2022.
If you were itching to see the end of the story, or simply eager to dive into some fresh new content, you'll be interested to hear that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands' final Update 9.2 - Eternity's End has now arrived. While more updates will be coming in the future, including Update 9.2.5 that will bring with it cross-realm dungeons, raids and rated PvP, Eternity's End will sadly be the last influx of actual new content before the next big expansion.
Thankfully, Shadowlands is going out on a positive note as Eternity's End is looking quite solid so far. It brings with it a chunky new raid with 11 bosses to pillage for loot, the beautiful Zareth Mortis zone to explore, the return of tier sets, a new progression system that lets you slowly decipher the language of the First Ones, as well as a whole bunch of new cosmetic items and mounts to collect!
