[Update]: Far Cry 6 has now arrived onto PC and consoles with a few new twists on the age-old Ubisoft formula.
If you were hoping to get your hands on Far Cry 6 this February, I'm afraid I bring some bad news. Due to the pandemic messing everything up, Ubisoft has now officially delayed Far Cry 6. Not only that, but no new release date has been announced just yet, so it's quite possible Far Cry 6 will only appear in late 2021.
"While we know you are all anxious to get your hands on Far Cry 6, we want to let you know that we've been given more time to allow us to make this the game you aspire to play while focusing on the well-being of our teams in this unprecedented global context," explains the brief update. "Our teams around the world are working in the studios and from their homes to pour their passion and creativity into making an unforgettable game - one we hope you will love."
The highly creative and utterly bizarre What the Golf? has now landed onto Steam

While golf is most definitely in the name, What the Golf? is more of an exercise in how many wildly different gameplay styles one can fit into a game before it all blows up. As it turns out, an absolute ton as What the Golf? is an immensely creative game despite having such a restrictive theme.
If you're wondering why I'm still not mentioning the actual gameplay, that would be because much like Frog Fractions, What the Golf? is really one of those games you want to go in completely blind. If you know what the 'trick' is, then the game loses a bit of its power over you. So if you're in the mood for a charming and somewhat experimental game, What the Golf? is well worth experiencing.

Dark Souls inspired Mortal Shell launched back in August for PC and consoles alongside a pretty good reception. So in order to thank the fans for all of their support, the Mortal Shell team has now set loose a free Halloween update!
The Rotten Autumn brings with it ten unique war-paints and armor trims to play dress-up with, a brand new quest centered around the big ol' frog Gorf, as well as a whole bunch of new death metal music courtesy of the band Rotting Christ. And if you're in the mood for showing off your newly found cosmetics, there is also a photo mode that allows you to tweak a whole bunch of things in order to capture the perfect image.
Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Legion has now been unleashed onto PC and consoles

[Update]: Watch Dogs: Legion's multiplayer update has been delayed until 2021.
If you're a fan of messing around with open world games and causing as much chaos as humanly possible, you'll be happy to hear that Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Legion has now been unleashed onto PC and consoles. The key difference between Legion and the previous Watch Dogs games is that there is no main protagonist. You can play as anyone, be that a highly skilled acrobat that moonlights as a hacker, or even a sweet old lady that can barely jump, let alone fistfight her way through a horde of terrorists.
As for what exactly all of this nonsense might look like in actual gameplay, that you can find out through two of the recent trailers. Have a gander, starting with the launch trailer:
Valorant's cursed Update 1.11 will be making a return on Monday, November 2nd

[Update]: Valorant's Update 1.11 has returned, though this time around without the gamebreaking bugs.
As a part of the recent Update 1.11, Valorant added a brand new agent by the name of Skye, as well as a whole bunch of really interesting balance changes and quality of life improvements. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the update also arrived alongside an assortment of gamebreaking bugs and issues.
If you're curious just how gamebreaking we're talking about here, let's just say that simply standing within Omen's smoke field would completely blind you as your screen would be entirely filled with Sage's texture files. There was also a bunch of problems with abilities not working properly, most notably Omen's blind and Brimstone's smokes, so it's no wonder that Riot quickly decided to pull the update back.

[Update #2]: Apex Legends has now landed onto Steam alongside the massive Season 7 update, though not without major problems.
[Update]: Respawn has detailed all of the Season 7 balance changes and additions.
The upcoming Season 7 update will be one of the biggest Apex Legends has ever seen. Not only will it add the beautiful floating city of Olympus as a new map, but there will also be a new squad-based transport vehicle called the Trident, a new gravity-bending legend by the name of Horizon, the very first guild/club system, as well as whole bunch of balance changes and cosmetics. It really is going to be a big update!
If you're curious what some of this might look like in action, most notably the new Olympus map and Trident transport, then you might want to check out two of the recent trailers. The first is an animated one showing off Horizon's personality and some of the story, while the second one is all about the actual gameplay and the locations you'll be able to visit throughout Olympus. Have a gander, both are pretty fun:

[Update]: Deep Rock Galactic devs have revealed what sort of goodies are coming in early 2021.
A few months have gone by since Deep Rock Galactic was unleashed from Steam Early Access, and if you're itching for even more content to dig your pickaxes into, you'll be happy to hear a major new update has just arrived. Update 32 brings with it two new mission types, a whole bunch of new cosmetics, plenty of balance changes and bug fixes, as well as even more variation when it comes to the randomized maps.
The first of these two new missions is all about harvesting liquid Morkite. You'll need to find the various wells scattered throughout the map, build gigantic pipelines leading back to your refinery, and then extract every single bit of precious Morkite you can while doing your very best to avoid dying to the endless onslaught of bugs and other critters.
