[Update #2]: Planetside 2's The Shattered Warpgate update has brought in a giant chunk of new content.
[Update]: The Colossus tank has now arrived, and it's deadly against both air and ground opponents!
With work on Planetside 2 now finally picking up steam again, the developers have just unleashed the first major update in quite a while. The definite highlight of this newly released Escalation patch are the massive, player-controller Bastion Fleet Carriers which serve as floating battle-stations.
Only one Fleet Carrier can be active per faction, and as you might imagine, building it will require a considerable amount of resources. What you'll get in return is a massive ship lined with controllable cannons, respawn points for players, as well as the ability to spawn air vehicles in order to help with its defense.

[Update]: Trails of Cold Steel III has now arrived onto PC, and apparently it's even better than its highly reviewed predecessors.
Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, Trails of Cold Steel III will be heading over to PC and Steam this March 23rd. Besides the story-rich JRPG itself, the PC version will also bring enhanced visuals, customizable controls, auto-save functionality, and perhaps most importantly for any lengthy RPG, the ability to speed up the gameplay by up to six times!
You'll also be glad to hear that the developers are so confident in their work that they have now released a surprisingly lengthy gameplay demo onto Steam! The demo is essentially the entire prologue and it will introduce you to the overall storyline, a variety of characters and the basic gameplay mechanics, as well as give you access to the in-game library where you can read a quick summary of the previous games and learn more about the world.
Team 17 has announced a mysterious new entry to the Worms series - Worms 2020

[Update]: Worms Rumble, the arena-based 32 player madhouse, is set to launch this December 1st.
In a bit of a surprising twist for a series that has had an absurd amount of entries, Worms has been pretty much dormant since Worms W.M.D back in 2016. However, if you thought this was the end of the entire series, you would be wrong as Team 17 has now come to announce a brand new game - Worms 2020.
Unfortunately, this is one of those "a teaser for an upcoming teaser" kind of situations, and as such there is basically no information about Worms 2020 currently available. We don't know what it'll be called, we don't know when it'll release or which platforms it will do so, and we also don't know what type of Worms game it will be - 2D or 3D.

Doom Eternal is coming to PC and consoles this March 20th, bringing with it a whole assortment of new enemies that are destined to simply explode before the Doom Slayer. However, before you do any sort of exploding, you'll first need to ensure that Doom Eternal can actually run on your PC.
As such, you might want to check out the newly unveiled PC system requirements and recommendations. You can find all of them right below, but before you dive in, it's just worth mentioning that the list will differ from the one printed out on the PC box due to some last-minute changes. With that little bit of warning now out of the way, here's what you'll need to run Doom Eternal:

[Update #2]: Horizon Zero Dawn has now landed onto PC, though not without serious technical issues.
[Update]: Horizon Zero Dawn devs have revealed all of the PC-exclusive features and improvements!
This probably won't come as too much of a surprise given the recent rumors, but Horizon Zero Dawn has now been officially announced for PC. The details are few and far between, but what I can tell you is that the PC version will come with The Frozen Wilds expansion, as well as a variety of minor in-game goodies.
