[Update #2]: Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed yet again, this time until December 10, 2020.
[Update]: CDPR has now released a brand new and rather exciting gameplay preview for Cyberpunk 2077.
If you were looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077 when it finally arrives this September, I'm afraid I have some bad news. Due to the pandemic that has slowed down pretty much everything across the globe, Cyberpunk 2077 has now been delayed until November 19th in order to ensure everything is as polished as it can possibly be.
"Those of you who are familiar with the way we make games know that we won't ship something which is not ready," reads the brief update. "And despite we think it's the right decision for the game, we'd still like to apologize for making you wait longer. Our intention is to make Cyberpunk 2077 something that will stay with you for years to come. In the end, we hope you understand why we did what we did."

After spending a fair bit of time being exclusive to the Epic Games Store, the Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Obsidian's The Outer Worlds) has now made its way to Steam as well. So if you're in the mood for an exploration-focused adventure about being stuck in a time loop, this would be a pretty good time to check it out.
As for what exactly you can expect to see from the Outer Wilds, that you can find out through the original launch trailer. Have a gander:
Desperados 3, a stealth-based strategy game from the Shadow Tactics studio, has now arrived

[Update]: Mimimi's next game Shadow Gambit will be a fun mixture of pirates, magic, stealth and strategy!
If you're a fan of the oldschool Commandos series, or stealth games in general, you might want to check out the newly released Desperados 3. Much like its predecessor Shadow Tactics from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, Desperados 3 is a stealth-focused strategy game where you control a small squad of highly diverse and efficient characters as they clean out entire strongholds without alerting even a single enemy!
You can get a pretty good idea of what this looks like in gameplay terms, as well as what kind of style Desperados 3 is even going for, through the recently posted release trailer. Have a gander:
Minecraft's massive Nether rework is set to arrive this June 23rd

[Update #2]: Minecraft's next major update will rework, improve and expand upon Caves & Cliffs.
[Update]: The Nether update has now arrived, and it's a pretty big one!
After spending quite a few months going through beta testing, Minecraft's massive Nether rework is now nearly upon us. You can expect to see it arrive this June 23rd for PC, consoles and mobile platforms.
In terms of content, the update is greatly expanding the diversity and amount of biomes found within the Nether, as well as adding Piglins and Hoglins as new NPCs to contend with. The Piglins will be particularly nasty to deal with since they are highly territorial and greedy, yet peaceful enough to lull you into a false sense of security before bonking you over the head with a golden sword.
The classic Eye of the Beholder dungeon-crawler trilogy is free to grab for two days

If you ever wanted to give oldschool dungeon-crawling RPGs a try, or just revisit them for old time's sake, today is your lucky day! I say this because the classic Eye of the Beholder trilogy is currently entirely free to grab over at GOG!
While all three games have been optimized to run on modern systems, there is one little catch you'll need to keep in mind - the giveaway will only last for another ~40 hours. So if you're in the mood for some classic RPG action, you might want to snatch a copy sooner rather than later.
Overwatch's Mei is coming to Heroes of the Storm as a brand new tank

Heroes of the Storm already features a whole bunch of Overwatch heroes, so the upcoming arrival of Mei shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. However, in a bit of an interesting twist, Mei will not be joining Heroes of the Storm as a DPS hero, but rather as a tank!
Instead of focusing on freezing enemies and then shooting an icicle through their face while smiling like an absolute maniac, the HOTS Mei will be all about controlling and displacing her opposition. So while she won't be as deadly as she is in Overwatch, her mere presence will still spell doom for everyone that finds themselves isolated from their team.
Outward's The Soroboreans expansion has just arrived alongside a fair bit of praise

[Update]: New and improved Outward: Definitive Edition is launching on May 17th, 2022 .
If you're like me and you've pretty much explored every nook and cranny in Outward, you'll be happy to hear that its very first expansion has now arrived for PC. The Soroboreans expansion brings with it a variety of new locations and enemies to contend with, a whole assortment of trinkets and armor to collect, as well as a new skill tree and status effects.
There's also a brand new enhancement system that lets you further customize your weapons, trinkets and armor sets. Getting the best stuff is a fairly expensive affair, as is tradition with all things in Outward, but the benefits are definitely worth the trouble as you can make some monstrously powerful characters!
