If you're in the mood for something truly oldschool, you might be interested to hear that the 1991 turn-based tactics games Langrisser I and its 1994 sequel Langrisser II have now made their way to Steam, PS4 and Switch. The remastered versions bring with them improved visuals, reorchestrated music, better localization, quality-of-life changes, as well as a new character with their own story choices.
You can get a bit of an idea of what to expect in terms of visual quality, as well as a glimpse of what the gameplay in the Langrisser series is like, through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a peek:
Planetside 2 has added massive Fleet Carriers as a part of the Escalation update

[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.

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.

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]: 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.
