[Update #2]: Planetside 2's January 2022 update has brought in the new continent of Oshur and underwater-based gameplay!
[Update]: Planetside 2's The Shattered Warpgate update has brought in a giant chunk of new content.
I don't know what has happened with Planetside 2 in the past few months, but I fully support its new direction. After just recently adding the Bastion Fleet Carriers as floating fortresses, Planetside 2 has now also extended the 'bigger is better' mantra to ground vehicles by introducing the most massive tank yet - the Colossus.
To put it simply, the Colossus is a beefy, five-player tank that is capable of spearheading an assault while targeting both ground and air opponents. That last part is particularly interesting because instead of simply trying to angle its gun upwards and hope for the best like the standard tanks, the Colossus is capable of going into siege mode that gives it both a powerful shield and an anti-air laser to melt both fighters and carriers alike!

I hope you're not tired of the various giveaways that have been popping up over the past month, because there is a brand new one you might want to check out. The game in question is Injustice: Gods Among Us - Ultimate Edition, and it's currently entirely free to grab over at Steam.
The only catch is that the giveaway will end on June 26th, so do make sure to snatch a copy sooner rather than later. As for what exactly the Ultimate Edition brings to the table, that would be six additional characters, over 30 cosmetic skins, as well as 60 new S.T.A.R. Labs missions to toy around with. Nothing too extraordinary, but still a nice little bonus.
Vermintide 2 has revealed the mysterious origins of Kruber's upcoming Grail Knight career

[Update]: The Grail Knight has now arrived, and as expected, he's pretty darn fun to play.
This June 23rd Vermintide 2 will be getting a rather significant update. Not only will it add the long-awaited weather and lighting variations to all of the outdoors maps, but it will also introduce the very first DLC career - Kruber as a Grail Knight!
If you know anything about the Warhammer lore, however, the presence of the Grail Knight career is likely to be quite puzzling. I say this because Grail Knights are exclusively Bretonnian, and they're a result of a lifelong quest for justice, chivalry, and the favor of the godlike Lady of the Lake. It's not exactly something you can just become after a drunken night out at the town, especially not as a Sigmar-worshiping Empire citizen like Kruber.
Crash Bandicoot is officially getting a brand new sequel - Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

[Update #2]: Contrary to the rumors, Crash Bandicoot 4 will not have microtransactions.
[Update]: Crash Bandicoot 4 has been officially confirmed alongside a fancy new trailer!
After the massive success of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane trilogy, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the studio that worked on both - Toys for Bob - is currently toiling away on a new platformer project. What might come as quite a surprise is that they're apparently not working on a remaster or remake, but rather an entirely new Crash Bandicoot game!
While nothing has been officially announced just yet, various leaks have already shown that the new game will be called Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, and that it will be coming for both PlayStation and Xbox. As is tradition, nothing has been mentioned about the PC version just yet, but it'll likely arrive a few months down the line as well.
Total War: Warhammer 2 beta update has greatly beefed up Orcs and the new Black Orc Big Boss hero

[Update #2]: The newest beta update has finally corrected most of the annoying bugs!
[Update]: The next big bug-fixing patch is scheduled for early July.
The Warden & The Paunch DLC arrived a little while ago, bringing with it an assortment of new toys for the High Elves and Greenskins to play around with. More importantly, the accompanying free update also heavily reworked the Greenskins faction, giving them a whole bunch of new tech options, mechanics, upgrades and even units to flesh out their roster with.
While all of this has certainly made the Greenskins one of the scariest factions in the game, especially on the Mortal Empires map where Grimgor seems to conquer all of the Badlands by turn 30, not all units have received the same amount of love. While the Goblin and monster contingent has been buffed to high heavens, the poor Orcs themselves have been left in the dust, almost entirely useless when compared to the super-powered Goblins.
Conan Exiles update has removed Denuvo and brought in a bunch of bug fixes

[Update]: Conan Exiles' Isle of Siptah expansion has added a large, demon-infested new world to explore.
While for most people the presence of anti-cheat or anti-tamper software has a negligible effect on performance, there is always a portion of the playerbase that ends up with some sort of problem, be that crashing or stuttering. If you belong in the latter group, or if you're simply not a fan of DRM in general, you'll be happy to hear that Conan Exiles has now removed Denuvo with its latest update.
The patch has also brought in a variety of server optimizations, corrected a couple of issues that could result in crashes, as well as brought in the usual assortment of bug and exploit fixes. So if you've previously encountered any sort of technical problems that pushed you away from Conan Exiles, it might be worth giving it another try and seeing if things have gotten any better since the update.

If you're looking something interesting to play, and you're not exactly sure what type of game you want to commit your time to, you should check out the currently ongoing Humble "Fight for Racial Justice" Bundle. For €28 the bundle offers a massive assortment of games, many of which are pretty darn good, as well as a variety of books to peruse afterwards.
There are far too many games to list them all, so instead allow me to share some of my favorites - just to give you an idea of what the bundle is all about. Here's the brief list:
