[Update #2]: Alan Wake 2's launch has been pushed back until October 27th due to overcrowding.
[Update]: Despite already working on numerous new games, Remedy has now announced a brand new co-operative PvE shooter - Project Vanguard.
If after a decade of waiting you were starting to lose hope that Remedy would ever announce Alan Wake 2, I'm happy to say that I bring some good news! Not only has Remedy announced that they are working on Alan Wake 2 during the recent The Game Awards, but also that they are pouring absolutely everything they have into it!
While the details are still few and far between, you can expect an even greater focus on atmosphere and physiological horror elements. Here's a brief teaser trailer showing off what they mean:
Telltale Games are working on a story-driven series based on The Expanse TV show

After going through a bit of a rough period, and that's putting it lightly, it seems that Telltale Games have settled in nicely as they've just announced their second major project. This one will be a bit more futuristic, however, as it'll be a narrative-driven series based on The Expanse TV show.
"In the near future on the outskirts of the asteroid belt, a bloody mutiny breaks loose on the Artemis," reads the brief description. "You take the role of XO Camina Drummer, where your choices determine the fate of the ship. What will you do with the truth, Bosmang?"

After two years in development, the colony simulator Oxygen Not Included has just received its very first expansion - Spaced Out! As you would expect from the name alone, Spaced Out! brings with it the ability to explore the universe with improved and modular rockets, simultaneously manage multiple colonies on multiple planetoids, mess around with nuclear power and radiation, as well as hopefully tame a bunch of new space-critters.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in actual gameplay, wonder no more as Klei have released a brief trailer highlighting just what Spaced Out! is all about. Have a peek:
Two decades later, the PlayStation anti-RPG moon: Remix RPG Adventure has now landed onto PC

If you're in the mood for a bit of a unique experience, you might want to check out the freshly released PC version of moon: Remix RPG Adventure - the 1997 PlayStation anti-RPG. It's essentially a deconstruction of classic RPG tropes where the focus is not on randomly killing everything before you for experience points, but rather trying to undo the catastrophic damage you've already done.
In order to do so you'll need to capture and save the souls of fallen monsters, befriend the various characters that occupy moon's world, and grow your character through the power of love. With all of that in mind, I'm sure it'll come as a massive surprise to hear that moon served as one of the inspirations for the excellent Undertale.

The Intergrade version brings with it an assortment of visual enhancements, a couple of new story moments set within the original campaign, and most importantly of all, a brand new piece of DLC starring the ninja Yuffie.
If you're curious what all of this looks like in action on PC, allow me to share with you the recently posted announcement trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:

So if you're curious what the Daemons of Slaanesh look like in battle, as well as what sort of strategies they employ, allow me to share with you the recently posted and far too dramatic gameplay preview. Have a gander:
