[Update]: Ghostwire: Tokyo has now arrived for PC and PS5, and so far it looks like it's following in the footsteps of The Evil Within 1 and 2.
After the sudden departure of its creative director, the fate of The Evil Within studio's upcoming paranormal action-adventure Ghostwire: Tokyo seemed to be up in air. Thankfully, whatever trouble was happening behind the scenes appears to have been resolved now as Ghostwire: Tokyo has just recently had a big gameplay reveal.
So if you're curious about what exactly Ghostwire: Tokyo has to offer, as well as how its visuals have held up since that first announcement ages ago, you'll find what you seek in the freshly posted trailer. Have a look:

While a little bit smaller than some of the previous patches, DayZ's Update 1.08 has now arrived with a bunch of new additions and tweaks. It brings with it a brand new hunting rifle by the name of Sporter 22, a whole host of improvements to the base building and destruction mechanics, as well as couple of new additions like ovens and canopy tents to mess around with.
You can get a little bit of a sneak peek at what these things look like in-game through the recently posted teaser trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:
Crysis Remastered has been delayed after the negative trailer reactions

A short while ago the trailer for Crysis Remastered got 'leaked' through the Microsoft Store. Usually, as is the case with the recently announced Crash Bandicoot 4, this would only serve to further fuel the excitement for the upcoming grand reveal. Unfortunately, the Crysis Remastered trailer looked downright unimpressive, so much so that it brought into question the whole 'Remastered' part of the title.
After seeing the mostly negative response, Crytek has now chosen to not only push back the release date of Crysis Remastered, but the full reveal as well. No new date has been announced just yet, but according to the brief update, it should be "a few weeks" from now.

After spending about a year in Steam Early Access, the dungeon-crawling roguelite Undermine is now slowly getting ready for its full release. You can expect to see arrive on August 6th, 2020 for PC (Linux and Mac included), Xbox One, as well as the Game Pass.
Unsurprisingly, version 1.0 will be Undermine's biggest update yet. It'll add the final boss fight with numerous phases and cutscenes, a variety of new dialogue and items, better performance and visual improvements, and perhaps most importantly of all, a new challenge system that lets you customize exactly how hard you want your adventure to be.
Total War: Warhammer 2's much-needed bug-fixing update is likely to come next week

[Update #2]: The newest beta update has finally corrected most of the annoying bugs!
[Update]: The bugfixing patch has been pushed back to July 13th.
While the recent The Warden & The Paunch DLC has been a rather exciting one, it has unfortunately brought with it a whole host of issues. The biggest of these is the weapon strength bug that makes it so any additional bonus damage is simply not being counted, thus making it so that lords and units that rely on weapon buffs are significantly worse than they should be.
To Creative Assembly's credit, once they realized there's a problem, they quickly released a beta update in order to correct it. And for a while, everything was once again great. However, once they further updated the beta version in order to beef up the Greenskins and the newly added Black Orc Big Boss hero, they once again brought in some remarkably nasty problems.
A month after launch, Amazon's team-based shooter Crucible is going back to Closed Beta

[Update #2]: Crucible will be closing down its servers on November 9, 2020.
[Update]: Amazon's New World MMO has now been delayed until 2021 for pretty much the same reasons.
Back in May, Amazon released their team-based, free-to-play shooter Crucible onto Steam. Unfortunately, as is the case with way too many games these days, Crucible launched far too early. As a consequence of this, Crucible got slammed with mediocre to bad reviews, and as you might imagine, quickly started losing what little playerbase it gathered from the initial release.
Usually this would mean a slow and painful demise, especially for such a team-based game, but it would appear that the developers are not willing to give up yet. And so, in a move that doesn't exactly happen very often, they have now 'unreleased' Crucible and brought it back into Closed Beta.
Gwent's Gaunter O’Dimm themed expansion Master Mirror has now been unleashed

[Update #2]: CD Projekt Red will be drastically slowing down development on Gwent: The Witcher Card Game in 2023 and beyond.
[Update]: CDPR is working on a new singleplayer-focused card game adventure based on Gwent - project Golden Nekker.
If you're a fan of the devious Gaunter O’Dimm from his The Witcher 3 appearance, you'll be glad to hear that he's just received an entire Gwent expansion themed around his trickery. The newly added Master Mirror expansion brings with it over 70 new cards to collect, an assortment of new mechanics and keywords to combo with, as well as evolving legendary cards that change in both appearance and power as the match progresses.
You can get a bit of an idea of what all of this looks like in actual gameplay, as well as what sort of atmosphere the Master Mirror expansion is going for, through two of the recent dev videos. The first is a brief launch trailer setting up the premise, while the second is a lengthy overview that will give you a pretty solid idea of the new mechanics and keywords. Have a little peek:
