A little while ago, PlatinumGames announced that they need a little bit of extra funding in order to self-publish The Wonderful 101: Remastered. To achieve this goal, they set up a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign asking for an oddly specific but still quite reasonable $49,312.
They may have slightly underestimated just how many people would be interested in The Wonderful 101: Remastered, however, as the community managed to blow past all of the stretch goals and raise an impressive $1,446,295 in a mere few days! Because of this, the remaster will not only be releasing on the Nintendo Switch, but also on the PlayStation 4 and PC!

If you're tired of every Hearthstone Battlegrounds match revolving around an endless parade of Murlocs, Demons and Mechs, you'll be glad to hear a brand new update has just arrived. It brings with it dragons as a fiery new tribe, 18 new minions of which 12 are dragons, an assortment of new Dragon heroes to toy around with, as well as a variety of balance changes and tweaks.
You can get a bit of an idea of what to expect, as well as what some of the new dragons have to offer, through the recently posted teaser trailer. Have a peek, it's a fairly short one:
Newly released Lair of the Clockwork God combines platforming and humor with point & click puzzles

When it comes to mixing genres, usually the developers tend to go with ones that complement each other. For example, combining Metroidvania-style exploration with an action-RPG combat and progression system makes perfect sense. The newly released Lair of the Clockwork God does not do that!
Instead, Lair of the Clockwork God goes the complete opposite direction by combining the slow and meticulous point & click gameplay with the frantic pace of a platformer. Add to that a very loose connection to reality, as well as plenty of humor, and you've got a bit of unusual game before you.
Path of Exile is getting a massive new update in early March - Delirium

March is nearly upon us, and as is tradition at this point, Path of Exile devs have announced a massive new update - Delirium. It brings with it an assortment of new challenges to undertake, new Cluster Jewels that give you even more talent choices to play around with, new skill and support gems, as well as a whole assortment of new items and quality-of-life changes to spice up the season.
The new Delirium mechanic should feel quite familiar to anyone that has played Path of Exile for a while. Once you allow the mists of Delirium to overtake you, new enemies will spawn all around you, while existing foes will gain brand new and powerful abilities. The big difference is that this applies to even to old bosses, so if you're in the mood to ramp up their difficulty and rewards, simply step into Delirium and challenge them anew.

After an absolute ton of updates, many of which changed the very core of its gameplay, Dota Underlords has now been officially released from Steam Early Access. It has done so alongside the rather hefty Season 1 patch that brings with it the puzzle-focused City Crawl game mode, a fully-fledged battle pass, UI polish and numerous quality-of-life changes, as well as the usual avalanche of balance adjustments and hero tweaks.
If you're looking for a little bit of a sneak peek at some of the new content, or just wondering what Dota Underlords is really about, you should check out the recently posted launch trailer. Have a look, it's a pretty fun one:
Vermintide 2 update has now nerfed Beastmen and reduced how often they appear

[Update #2]: The Enchanter's Lair map has now arrived alongside the very best boss fight in all of Vermintide 2!
[Update]: Enchanter's Lair, the grand finale of the Curse of Drachenfels trilogy, is set to arrive this March 24th.
Ever since the Winds of Magic expansion, the Beastmen faction has been a bit of a problem. Not only are they noticeably tougher than the Skaven or Chaos, but they also have a knack for spawning far more frequently than the other two factions combined. It's not exactly uncommon to go through an entire map without seeing a single Chaos warrior, and that's a real shame since variety is the spice of life, especially when it comes to combat-heavy games like Vermintide 2.
Thankfully, the latest update appears to have addressed both problems. First and foremost, attack damage triggers for Gors (axe-wielding Beastmen) and Ungors (spear-wielding Beastmen) have been adjusted in order to better fit their animations. What this means is that you'll no longer get damaged while a Gor is halfway through his axe swing, which should make the Beastmen as a whole a lot more reasonable and fun to deal with.

[Update #2]: The day has finally come - Temtem has now been unleashed in full!
[Update]: After two years in Early Access, Temtem will be launching onto PC and consoles in September 2022.
Pokemon inspired MMO Temtem released into Steam Early Access last month to some rather positive reviews. In order to keep this momentum going, as well as let the community know what they're working on, the developers have now released the roadmap, as well as announced their plans for Temtem's future.
Ranked matchmaking, spectator mode and in-game chat will be coming as a part of the upcoming spring update, while the summer patch will add player housing and Kisiwa as a new island with ~25 new Temtem. Further down the line, the fall 2020 update will once again be adding a new island with 25 new Temtem, as well as a quest diary, in-game tournaments and achievements.
