Total War: Warhammer 3's newest previews offers a close-up look at the Daemons of Slaanesh

[Update #2]: The latest gameplay focused preview shows off the armies of Slaanesh crushing an offensive from Nurgle.
[Update]: Good news, Creative Assembly has now finally released a preview of the campaign map!
Even though we've seen a fair few Slaaneshi daemons in action through the past few previews, they mostly served as punching bags for Nurgle's forces given that the focus was fully on the Lord of Decay. Now, however, it seems that it's time for indulgence, agony, and glorious excess!
So if you're curious what the daemons of Slaanesh have to offers, as well as just how spikey their army truly is, allow me to share with you the freshly posted "Enter the World of Slaanesh" preview. Have a gander:
Horizon Zero Dawn PC Update 1.11 has brought in even more visual and performance improvements

[Update]: Two years after its original launch, Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PC on March 21st.
The launch version of Horizon Zero Dawn on PC was a bit of a mess, and that's putting it lightly. The game suffered from performance issues, random crashes, mouse sensitivity problems, and most hilariously of all, a bug that made it so your character always walked at a very slight angle.
Over time time Guerrilla Games have managed to fix all of these issues, and so Horizon Zero Dawn is now a remarkably solid game on PC. However, this doesn't seem to have slowed Guerrilla Games down even slightly as they are still releasing new updates! In fact, a brand new one only just arrived with a new batch of visual and performance improvements!
Borderlands's RPG focused spin-off Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is launching on March 25, 2022

[Update #2]: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has now been unleashed, and so far it's looking quite solid.
[Update]: Lengthy pre-launch preview for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands shows off some awesome locations and a bunch of bullet-spongy enemies.
If you've enjoyed the recently released standalone version of Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, you'll be happy to hear that Gearbox will soon be releasing an entire spin-off game that's just like it - Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. As the name would imply, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will have you wonder across an absurd fantasy world smashing hordes of enemies and looting literally everything that isn't nailed down particularly well.
Along the way you'll be able to build up your character by mixing and matching talents from six different classes, upgrading your stats using "hero points", finding secret treasures on the overworld between quests, and naturally, equipping yourself with a vast array of procedurally generated weapons. The whole thing is pretty much Borderlands with a couple of twists, so if played any of the games in the series, odds are Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will be nice and familiar as well.
Guild Wars 2 devs have detailed how the End of Dragons expansion Legendaries will work

[Update #2]: After the success of the new expansion, Guild Wars 2 devs have now announced their plans for the future.
[Update]: It's official, the End of Dragons expansion will be launching on February 28th!
Given that it is incredibly easy to acquire near-perfect endgame gear in Guild Wars 2, fancy-looking Legendary weapons serve as more as a fashion symbol than anything else. Unsurprisingly, each of these Legendary items thus comes with its own unique model, cosmetic effects, custom animations, and naturally, an absurd list of requirements to really make it feel special.
While the Legendaries in the End of Dragon expansion will function mostly the same as the previous ones, there will still be some notable differences. First and foremost, there will not be any underwater Legendary weapons, though the sixteen other ones you will be able to acquire will each come in six different flavors!
Remastered version of Quake has added a new Horde Mode and the oldschool mod 'Honey'

Even though the remastered version of Quake launched all the way back in August in a remarkably good state, the developers are still releasing updates for it! Best of all, unlike the previous one that mostly focused on quality-of-life improvements and bot support, the freshly released update is all about bringing in new content!
As such, you can expect to see a brand new Horde Mode and the popular 'Honey' mod added in, both of which were created by Wolfenstein studio MachineGames. First things first, here's a brief teaser showing off the new Horde Mode:
Commandos inspired Shadow Tactics is getting its very first standalone expansion today

[Update]: Mimimi's next game Shadow Gambit will be a fun mixture of pirates, magic, stealth and strategy!
If games that combine strategy and stealth in equal measure tickle your fancy, and especially if you're a fan of the oldschool Commandos series, you might be interested to hear that Shadow Tactics is getting its very first expansion today - Aiko's Choice. The standalone expansion will bring with it a variety of new missions to undertake, a highly specialized team of characters that all play an important part, and most importantly of all, maps that offer plenty of different ways to approach each objective and obstacle.
Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you two of the recently posted previews. The first is a fairly standard gameplay trailer that will give you a better idea of what Aiko's Choice will play like, while the second is a developer-guided FAQ detailing some of the new features. Have a gander:
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition update has added HD models & textures to the classic RPG

In an update that I must admit comes as a rather pleasant surprise, Beamdog has recently unleashed a nice and chunky graphical overhaul for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. After several years of hard work, the freshly released update has now added HD character models & textures to the game, which as you might judge from the two screenshots, really do look quite lovely considering how old the game truly is!
However, while all of the new models are fully customizable and can be further modded by the community, there is a chance the HD Pack might not play well with your current (and likely considerable) list of mods. So if you do decide to grab it, I'd recommend first backing everything up before installation, just to be on the safe side.
