[Update #2]: After a few rounds of delays, Marvel's Midnight Suns has now landed onto PC and consoles.
[Update]: Firaxis has delayed Marvel's Midnight Suns yet again, this time to early 2023.
It's only been a short while since Marvel's Midnight Suns was first announced, and already it's being delayed. So if you're in the mood for some turn-based and card-driven superhero action, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the second half of 2022.
"We know many fans were looking forward to playing the game originally next spring, and this decision did not come lightly," reads the brief update. "We decided to push our launch because we need more time to make this the best game possible."

[Update #2]: The Devil In Me has now arrived onto PC with a heap of technical issues.
[Update]: Supermassive Games are working on a spiritual successor to Until Dawn - The Quarry.
While this might not come as a massive surprise given that its existence was revealed as a reward for getting the best ending in The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes, Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games have now come out to properly announce that the next game in the series, The Devil in Me, will also serve as the season one finale for the horror anthology.
The details are still few and far between, but so far it looks like we'll be following a film crew that's recording a documentary about America’s first serial killer, H.H. Holmes. Needless to say, things won't go exactly according to plan and our characters will end up having to overcome a series of Saw-like scenarios in order to survive.

[Update #2]: Wrath of the Lich King Classic has been announced, and it will be launching in 2022 without the controversial Dungeon Finder.
[Update]: The fresh Season of Mastery servers have now arrived, and so far I'm happy to say everything seems to be working as expected.
In order to revitalize World of Warcraft Classic, Blizzard will be launching an assortment of fresh servers this November 16th alongside the Season of Mastery. However, unlike the original WoW Classic that mostly stuck to the "no changes" motto, the Season of Mastery servers will bring with them a variety of changes to help improve the overall experience.
Speaking of which, the experience required to reach level 60 will be getting reduced to Burning Crusade Classic levels, while many items available only in the latter portion of Classic's life will be dropping as soon as the servers launch. The most important addition here is the Dungeon Set 2 quest chain which awards amazing gear for quite a few classes and is easily achievable for even casual players.

[Update]: The vampire-infested Innistrad: Crimson Vow has now been unleashed!
I hope you're in the mood for a bit of a shakeup, because MTG Arena's Innistrad: Crimson Vow expansion is set to launch this November 11th. Crimson Vow will bring with it an assortment of vampires and werewolves to toy around with, as well as a variety of zombies, spirits and other nightmarish aberrations to really round out the whole horror atmosphere.
When it comes to the actual gameplay mechanics, Crimson Vow will follow in Midnight Hunt's footsteps and will heavily focus on sacrificing creatures and artifacts, transforming between two states, and bringing things back out of the graveyard for extra value. Here's a brief rundown of the six main mechanics:

[Update]: Total War: Warhammer 3's newest preview shows off the Ogre Kingdoms in-game and up close.
In an announcement that I'm sure won't come as much of a surprise to many of you, Total War: Warhammer 3 devs have now finally revealed what the early adopter faction will be - Ogre Kingdoms. So if you're in the mood for snacking, fighting and snacking on the people you fight, simply grab Total War: Warhammer 3 within a week of its release and you'll get the Ogre Kingdoms as a nice little bonus.
Speaking of which, Creative Assembly has also taken this opportunity to reveal that Total War: Warhammer 3 will be launching on February 17, 2022 via Steam, Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store. There will be no differences between the three versions, but since each one tracks DLC independently, it's in your best interest to just stick with whatever one you started with.

[Update #2]: World of Warcraft will finally be adding cross-faction dungeons, raids and rated PvP in Update 8.2.5!
[Update]: Blizzard will be showing off the next big Shadowlands update on November 11th.
While it doesn't offer much in terms of new content, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands' freshly launched Update 9.1.5 does bring with it some much needed and often requested quality-of-life changes and tweaks. You can now freely swap between Covenants, explore new customization options for Allied Races, solo Island expeditions, level alts through Torghast, and the list goes on for a while.
Most importantly of all, this update has also reworked Legion's Mage Tower singleplayer challenges. So once Legion Timewalking rolls around in early December you'll be able to challenge all of the old bosses in order to collect an assortment of new class-based armors, a fel-colored version of Guardian Druid's 'werebear' form, as well as a new Spellbook mount if you manage to conquer all of the different encounters.
