Creative Assembly has begun teasing a major Total War: Warhammer announcement

[Update]: Total War: Warhammer 3 has been revealed alongside Daemons of Chaos, Kislev and Cathay!
It has only been a little while since The Twisted & The Twilight DLC arrived, and already Creative Assembly has begun teasing a brand new addition to the Total War: Warhammer series. However, unlike the past few teasers that were relatively straightforward, the devs are keeping things a bit more mysterious this time around.
The two teasers released so far show a Celestial Wizard looking at various constellations in the sky, all the while delivering some potentially cryptic dialogue. Before I give you my theory, here are the two videos so you can hopefully get a bit of an idea of what's going on:
The psychological horror game The Medium has now been unleashed onto PC and Xbox

The Medium was originally supposed to release back in December, but due to Cyberpunk 2077 throwing a wrench into everyone's plans, Bloober Team chose to postpone their psychological horror game until January. A fair bit of time has gone by since then, but I'm happy to say that the long wait is now finally over as The Medium has just been unleashed onto both PC and Xbox!
Since The Medium is one of those games that relies heavily on atmosphere and immersion, allow me to cut to the chase and share with you the recently posted trailer. It should give you a pretty good idea of just what you'd be getting yourself into. Have a gander:
World of Warcraft is looking to buff most of the underperforming classes next week

[Update]: Blizzard has announced another round of dungeon nerfs, most of which are here to make tanking less about running away and more about... well, tanking!
As is often the case with World of Warcraft, there are currently classes and specializations that are so much stronger than the competition that it's becoming a bit of a serious problem. So in order to sort this out, as well as hopefully bring in a bit more diversity into Mythic+ and high-end raiding groups, Blizzard has now announced a bunch of tweaks.
If you're hoping this involves major class reworks I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you as the changes are purely messing around with the numbers. That said, it should still provide some much-needed help for underperforming specs. But enough babbling from me, here's what you can look forward to:
Total War: Troy's newest faction DLC has added Ajax and Diomedes for the Greeks

[Update]: Total War: Troy will be fully embracing its mythological side with the new Mythos expansion.
In order to counterbalance the impact of Amazons, Total War: Troy's newest piece of DLC has now added two brand new Greek factions to mess around with. Salamis is led by the mighty Ajax, while the young king Diomedes is in charge of Argos.
Much like the Amazons that came before them, each of the two new lords sport their own unique abilities and faction mechanics. There are also 18 new units to utilize, Paragon regiments that essentially function as Regiments of Renown from other Total War games, and even a brand new event to help you conquer Troy.
Evil Genius 2 and its megalomaniacal schemes will be arriving this March 30, 2021

[Update]: Evil Genius 2 has now been unleashed, and so far it seems like a faithful adaptation of the original.
After being remarkably coy with the release date for quite a few months now, Rebellion has finally revealed when we'll be able to get our hands on Evil Genius 2! Best of all, it won't even be a long wait as you can expect to see Evil Genius 2 on Steam this March 30, 2021.
As the name would imply, Evil Genius 2 will have you try to take over the world through a variety of dastardly means. You'll need to construct the perfect evil lair, hire and train an army of henchmen, deal with the constant incursions from the forces of justice, and as is tradition, create the ultimate and completely impractical doomsday weapon to show the world who's boss!
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum stealth-focused adventure game has been delayed until 2022

[Update #2]: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has now finally arrived and, unsurprisingly, it's a bit of a mess.
[Update]: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been delayed yet again following a poorly received preview.
When The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was first announced back in 2019, its release date was loosely set for 2021. Given that we're now in 2021 and we still know basically nothing about Gollum, it should come as very little surprise to hear that its release date has now been pushed back to 2022.
No exact release date has been given just yet, but what I can tell you is that Gollum will be launching onto PC, Xbox One and Series X, PlayStation 4 and 5, as well as the Nintendo Switch. Similarly, there is still no actual gameplay to show, but you can at least get a bit of an idea of the sort of atmosphere the team is going for through the original teaser trailer. Have a gander:
The highly ridiculous Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator is free to grab on Steam until February

If you have a couple of hours to burn on something completely and utterly ridiculous, you might be interested to hear that Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator (UEBS) is currently free to grab. Simply head on over to Steam, click on that giant green button, and you'll be able to start playing right after a brief download.
As always, the only catch is that the whole promotion is time limited. So make sure grab yourself a copy before the whole thing ends on February 1st, after which you'll be able to play UEBS whenever you want.
