[Update]: Assassin's Creed Valhalla has now arrived, and unsurprisingly, it's pretty good.
After recently announcing the PC system requirements for the upcoming Watch Dogs: Legion, Ubisoft has now turned their gaze towards Assassin's Creed Valhalla. So if you're curious what sort of PC you'll need in order to run Valhalla this November 10th, you'll find the minimum and recommended requirements below.
Before you dive in, it is worth mentioning that these three configurations are only a chunk of the permutations Ubisoft released, mostly focused around the low to mid-range PCs. As such, if you're looking to push your PC to the limit, you should hop on over to the official website for the full list. For now, however, here's a general overview of what you'll need to run Valhalla:
The fighting game filled Humble Bundle is sticking around for another three days

If you're a fan of repeatedly getting punched in the face, or whatever it is that people do in fighting games, you might want to check out the currently ongoing Humble "Let's Fight" Bundle. As the name would suggest, the bundle is filled with all sorts of fighting games, both serious and somewhat comedic in nature.
When it comes to the games themselves, you can find the full list, as well as the pricing tier they appear in, right below. Have a look:
Stardew Valley's upcoming Update 1.5 will add splitscreen co-op for both PC and consoles

[Update]: Stardew Valley's freshly launched Update 1.5 is the biggest the game has ever seen!
Despite releasing all the way back in 2016, Stardew Valley has steadily been adding heaps and heaps of new content and quality of life improvements. For example, last year's Update 1.4 brought a lot of new heart events to help flesh out your love interests, added the ability to raise fish, introduced a social tab to help keep track of your fellow villagers, and the list goes on for a while.
With all of that in mind, I'm rather delighted to say that Stardew Valley will soon be getting yet another one of these chunky content patches! While the full list of changes is still shrouded in mystery, Update 1.5 will bring with it one very often requested feature - splitscreen co-op!
Overwatch has released the second part of the Tracer-focused London Calling comic

[Update]: Instead of focusing on Tracer, the newest short story is all about Zenyatta and Symmetra!
When it comes to dishing out new Overwatch lore, Blizzard moves at a speed that can only be described as glacial. However, in a refreshing twist, they have now released the second part of the Tracer-focused London Calling comic - a mere month after the original!
London Calling #2 continues immediately after its predecessor and follows Tracer as she attempts to stop Widowmaker from assassinating the Omnic monk Mondatta. While this is an already well known story, things do get further fleshed out through the addition of side-characters that seem like they will have a major role in the future of King's Row.
Total War: Warhammer 2's massive Wood Elf focused DLC is coming this December 2020

[Update]: Total War: Warhammer 2's The Twisted & The Twilight DLC is bringing in goodies for Wood Elves and Skaven.
While this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that it was teased a very long time ago, Total War: Warhammer 2's next DLC will focus heavily on the Wood Elves. However, given that the Wood Elves themselves are already a piece of DLC, Creative Assembly has wisely split the new DLC into pieces in order to ensure nobody gets left out.
So if you own Total War: Warhammer 2 and this upcoming DLC, you will get the Wood Elves as a playable faction, as well as a variety of new units, two new Legendary Lords and new mounts. Furthermore, if you own Total War: Warhammer 1, 2 and this upcoming DLC, you will also be able to play the Wood Elves on the Mortal Empires map, though only as the newly introduced factions.
Legends of Runeterra's Monuments of Power expansion has arrived with a bunch of new cards

[Update]: Legends of Runeterra is introducing its first co-op event on January 13, 2021.
When it comes to card games, more is always better. A few balance patches here and there are all well and good, but it is the massive influx of new cards from an expansion that really shake the meta up and create a fresh and exciting environment for everyone to mess around with. With that in mind, I'm happy to say that Legends of Runeterra has just received a brand new expansion!
The Monuments of Power set brings with it 3 fancy new champion cards (Shyvana, Soraka, and Tahm Kench), as well as 40 new cards in total. The most exciting part of this batch of cards is the brand new card type - Landmark. These are cards that use up a slot on the board, yet cannot attack or defend. Instead, they provide you with a passive bonus for as long as they remain in play, which is a classic risk vs reward arrangement and something that will fit quite nicely within Legends of Runeterra.
RuneScape has now made its way to Steam, while Old School RuneScape will follow in 2021

[Update]: Old School RuneScape is heading over to Steam this February 24, 2021!
It may have taken quite a while for this to happen, but RuneScape has now finally made its way to Steam! It brings with it 20 new achievements, 15 trading cards, 6 emoticons, 6 badges, as well as 3 player profile backgrounds to spruce up your account with.
Speaking of which, the Steam launch has also brought with it a couple of bundles for first-time members. Each one offers an increasingly lengthy RuneScape Membership Access subscription, fancy cosmetics and treasures keys, so if you're already planning to spend money on membership, you might want to look into those. As for whether any of them are actually a good deal, I'm afraid I simply don't know.
