[Update #2]: Guild Wars 2's return to Living World Season 1 episodes will be starting on April 19th, 2022.
[Update]: After the success of the new expansion, Guild Wars 2 devs have now announced their plans for the future.
After a whole bunch of previews and some rather enticing beta tests, Guild Wars 2's third expansion End of Dragons has now finally arrived. End of Dragons brings with it the fan-favorite continent of Cantha to explore, nine new elite specializations to mess around with, the mighty Siege Turtle mount that can seat two players, the fishing profession alongside player-controlled boats, as well as a whole host of new items and cosmetics to collect.
What this looks like in action, as well as what sort of atmosphere End of Dragons is going for, that you can find out through two of the recently posted trailers. Have a gander, starting with the brief cinematic and ending with the gameplay overview:

[Update]: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has now been unleashed, and so far it's looking quite solid.
Inspired by Borderlands 2's highly popular DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, the upcoming Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a colorful and wacky homage to the RPG genre. What this means in gameplay terms is that you'll be able to build your character by mixing and matching talents from six different classes, scour the world in search of treasure to hoard and quests to complete, slice and dice your way through all sorts of baddies, and naturally, play around with an absurd amount of procedurally generated weapons.
What all of this madness looks like in action, however, that you can find out through the recently posted and rather lengthy developer preview. Have a gander, it's about as explosive as you might expect from a Borderlands spin-off:

[Update]: Disgaea 6 Complete will be heading over to PC on June 28th, 2022 alongside a couple of improvements.
After spending about a year exclusively on the Switch and PlayStation, a new and improved version of Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is now heading over to PC as well. The aptly titled Disgaea 6 Complete will bring with it all of the previously released character and cosmetic DLC, new gameplay customization options, along with an additional color DLC to help spice everything up.
You can get a pretty good idea of what this might look like in actual gameplay through the recently posted announcement trailer. Have a gander:

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:
