If you're in the mood for brutalizing horde after horde of demons, you'll be glad to hear that Doom Eternal has now arrived for both PC and consoles. Expect to see a bunch of new enemies and weapons, more interesting multiplayer than what was found in Doom 2016, even more storylines to completely gloss over, as well as a surprisingly atmospheric metal soundtrack.
You can get a pretty good impression of what all of this looks like in action, as well as what the new story might be about, through the launch trailer down below. Have a gander:

This March 26th Borderlands 3 will be getting a brand new piece of DLC celebrating the marriage of Wainwright and Hammerlock in the only way Borderlands knows how - with tons and tons of explosions. The Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC will bring with it a large new region to explore, an assortment of new loot to use and immediately discard once you find even shinier weapons, as well as some lovely Borderlands 2 nostalgia.
If you're wondering what all of this looks like in action, however, wonder no more as Gearbox has now released a ~12 minute preview showing off both Gaige and the very beginning of the DLC. Have a gander:

While Guild Wars 2's Living World content is fully replayable these days, the original Season 1 missions with their crazy characters and storylines are unfortunately still unavailable. There is a bit of good news on this front, however, as ArenaNet has just re-released four Season 1 missions as a part of the freshly launched Visions of the Past update!
The update has also added a new Public Mission where you'll get to accompany Ryland Steelcatcher and his rather impressive Charr tank as they attempt to bring down the Ancient Forgeman. And just for good measure, there's also a brand new storyline that offers a bit of a different perspective on the "Whisper in the Dark" mission, and will once again have you accompany Ryland as he seeks to discover the truth behind the fate of the Vigil leader Almorra Soulkeeper.

After spending a short amount of time on the PS4, Arc System Works' newest fighting game Granblue Fantasy: Versus has now also landed onto PC via Steam.

You can get a pretty good idea of what Granblue Fantasy: Versus looks like in gameplay terms, as well as what the singleplayer focused RPG mode has to offer, through one of the trailers down below. Have a peek:
Football Manager 2020 is entirely free to try out until March 25th

[Update]: Somewhat unrelated, but it's also worth mentioning that the excellent Tomb Raider 2013 is entirely free to grab on Steam until March 24th.
If you currently have a bit of free time and you're willing to try something a bit out of the ordinary, you might be interested to hear that Football Manager 2020 is having an extended free trial. Simply head on over to Steam, click on that giant "Play Game" button, and you'll be ready to bankrupt club after club in no time!
Speaking of which, there is a bit of a time limit with this trial. However, unlike the usual free weekend which gives you a couple of days at best, Football Manager will be entirely free to play until 3pm GMT on March 25th, which is more than enough time to get a good impression of it.
Echo, Overwatch's Hero 32, has been announced alongside a story trailer

[Update]: Echo has now been unleashed onto the PTR, and while she's not a support hero as many had expected, she is really fun to play!
When Blizzard first started teasing Hero 32, I speculated that it would either be Dr. Mina Liao, one of the original founders of Overwatch, or the strange Omnic Echo that appeared as a part of McCree and Ashe's cinematic short. What I didn't even consider, however, is that Hero 32 would be a strange mixture of both!
Designed by Liao, Echo is a rapidly adapting artificial intelligence that embodies all of her creator's hopes and dreams. How exactly this came to be, as well as why Echo was even created, you'll find out through the newest story trailer. Have a look:

- in Indie Games
While the name may be way too long and unwieldy, Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a faithful homage to one of the most popular Castlevania games - Symphony of the Night. Much like its inspiration, Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth will have you explore a large and highly interconnected world, collect new abilities that are useful both in combat and outside of it, and naturally, face off against a variety of monsters and bosses.
If you're curious just how close Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is to Symphony of the Night, as well as what the actual moment-to-moment gameplay is like, you can find your answers in the recently posted trailer down below. Have a peek:
