When Morty first made his way to MultiVersus back in August, all signs were clearly pointing towards Rick following suit shortly afterwards. However, the MultiVersus team decided to go in a bit of a different direction by first releasing Gizmo from Gremlins as a part of a surprise update!
A few weeks have gone by since then, and I'm pleased to say that Rick is now finally getting ready to make his big debut. No exact release date has been announced just yet, though you can expect to see Rick Sanchez arrive in the near future.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered landed onto PC back in August, and unlike some of the previous PlayStation ports like Horizon Zero Dawn, it did so with fully polished gameplay and very few technical issues. Given its massive success, it really shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to hear that Sony is now bringing the follow-up game onto PC as well!
Once it arrives at some point in Fall 2022, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will bring with it a brand new storyline to explore, a variety of new powers and attacks to help spice up the gameplay, and naturally, a whole bunch of new locations to swing around... or into! Here's a small teaser of what all of this looks like in action on PC:

After years of watching players dismantled hordes upon hordes of murder-bots, Generation Zero studio Systemic Reaction is now looking to tackle something a little bit different. As such, the upcoming Ravenbound will be a challenging open world action-roguelite set in an universe heavily inspired by Norse mythology.
If that sounds like it's exactly up your alley, you'll be pleased to hear that Ravenbound will soon be heading into Closed Beta! The whole thing will run from September 29th to October 13th, so you should have plenty of time to explore the content on offer, give the developers some much needed feedback, as well as see where exactly you stand with Ravenbound's gameplay.

Even though Yacht Club Games are currently hard at work on Mina the Hollower, an 8-bit tribute to action-adventure games of old, you'll be happy to hear that good ol' Shovel Knight has not been forgotten. However, instead of a brand new expansion, Yacht Club Games and Nitrome have partnered up to release a dungeon-digging roguelite spin-off!
The freshly unleashed Shovel Knight Dig brings with it a mixture of hand-crafted areas and randomized elements to help encourage multiple playthroughs, along with a very familiar gameplay formula that's focused around jumping, slashing, and unsurprisingly, digging! What all of this looks like in action, however, that you can check out through the launch trailer. Have a gander:

Terraria and Core Keeper have announced a small crossover update

[Update]: Terraria's Labor of Love update has now arrived, and with it the crossover update is live on both games.
Terraria has done a few crossovers before, so it should come as little surprise to hear that they have announced a brand new one will be coming with the chunky Labor of Love update on September 28th. The crossover this time around will be with Core Keeper - an exploration focused adventure that shares a lot of the same gameplay ideas as Terraria.
On the Core Keeper side you can expect to see the gelatinous and ginormous King Slime as a brand new boss. Besides having to best the big ol' slime in combat, part of the challenge will also be to figure out how to summon him in the first place. Whatever the process might entail, it'll be well worth it at the end as King Slime will drop some pretty interesting loot "that will make you the envy of your fellow explorers."

If you're itching for something new and interesting to play, you'll be pleased to hear that there's a double giveaway going on! Both the strategy focused board game adaptation Gloomhaven and the (unsurprisingly) survival orientated ARK: Survival Evolved are currently free to grab at the Epic Games Store.
The one catch, as is tradition, is that the giveaway is time limited. So if you want either game, make sure to add them to your account before September 29th rolls around. Once you've done that you'll be able to play them whenever you want and for however long you want.
