If you were hoping to get your hands on Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl this April 28th, I'm afraid I have somewhat bad news to deliver. According to the newest developer update, the post-apocalyptic survival-horror has now been pushed back to December 8th, 2022.
"These additional seven months of development are needed to fulfill our vision and achieve the desired state of the game," reads the brief update. "Stalker 2 is the biggest project in the history of GSC, and it requires thorough testing and polishing. We are convinced that development should take as long as necessary, especially in the case of such a project."

After about a year of Nintendo Switch exclusivity, Monster Hunter Rise has now finally made its way to PC as well. The freshly released PC port brings with it support for 4k resolutions, high-res textures, uncapped framerates, ultrawide support, as well as an assortment of customization options to play around with.
Perhaps most importantly, unlike Monster Hunter: World which took a great deal of time to reach parity with the console version, Monster Hunter Rise is almost there! All of the content up to Patch 3.6.1 is already available, while full parity between the two versions will be achieved by the end of February 2022.

[Update]: According to leaks, Total War: Warhammer 3 will let you design your own Daemon Prince and faction.
As a part of last year's previews Creative Assembly showed off a whole assortment of battles between the various factions. However, despite highlighting some of the new mechanics and ideas, they never really gave us a closer look at how an actual campaign will play out... that is, until now!
So if you're curious about what sort of improvements Total War: Warhammer 3 brings to the table, as well as what Grand Cathay will look like on the campaign map, allow me to share with you the freshly posted preview. Have a peek, it's quite an interesting one:

In order to help pass the time before the big Season 12 update in early February, Respawn has now unleashed the rather humble Dark Depths event for Apex Legends. Dark Depths brings with it a lush new Arena map by the name of Habitat, as well as a whole bunch of new cosmetic items to collect.
Since Habitat is basically the only new bit of content in this update, allow me to first share with you the brief teaser trailer. It should give you a pretty good look at the new map. Have a gander:

Only a few days have gone by since the teaser, and already Devolver Digital have not only revealed the next big Serious Sam game, but also set its release date for this month! So if you're in the mood for gunning down hordes upon hordes upon hordes of enemies, mark January 25th on your calendar as that's when the Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem standalone expansion will be landing onto Steam.
Unlike Serious Sam 4 which was entirely developed by Croteam, Siberian Mayhem is primarily being worked on by a group of Serious Sam modders under the newly formed Timelock Studio. So while I can't tell you whether Siberian Mayhem will be any good or not, it will at the very least be a bit of a different experience than usual!

After a brief round of teasers last year, Dead Cells' newest expansion The Queen & the Sea has now been unleashed. The Queen & the Sea brings with it two chunky new biomes to explore, the Infested Shipwreck and the Lighthouse, which will serve as optional routes running in parallel with the High Peak Castle and Derelict Distillery.
The Queen & the Sea has also added nine new weapons to toy around with, the most ridiculous of which is an actual shark you can throw at people, as well as a variety of new enemies to smash and outfits to help you look good while doing so. Most importantly of all, there is also a challenging new boss to fight, as well as a brand new ending to unlock!
