[Update]: Besiege has now been released in full, and you'll be happy to hear that the developers are already looking towards adding some nifty post-launch content.
Besiege has spent around five years in Steam Early Access, during which it has received an absolute ton of content updates and improvements. Things will soon be getting even more interesting, however, as the developers have now announced that Besiege will finally be getting released on February 18th alongside yet another major new update.
The aptly named Patch 1.0 will add the final island for Besiege's singleplayer campaign, bringing with it a variety of lovely environments and highly challenging levels. There will be new enemies to slaughter, fortresses to endlessly smash your patchwork devices against, as well as "secret magics to unravel" as you slowly work your way across the island.
BioWare is planning to rebuild Anthem's gameplay and character progression from the ground up

[Update]: BioWare has now officially stopped all development on Anthem.
While Anthem had a ton of potential, as well as some great-looking visuals working in its favor, the actual gameplay experience ended up being a bit of a disappointment. BioWare immediately pledged that they would work on fixing things, but despite releasing update after update, things never really improved in a truly significant way. Eventually the updates slowed down, BioWare's communication fizzled out, and Anthem as a whole seemed to be put on hold.
Usually that would be the end of the story, but I'm happy to say that there is still some hope for Anthem as BioWare has now suddenly come out to announce that they are still working on the project. Better yet, they are trying to reinvent the core gameplay systems in order to transform Anthem into a more fun and free-flowing experience.

[Update #2]: Metro Exodus' free PC Enhanced Edition will be launching on May 6, 2021!
Metro Exodus' second narrative-focused expansion, Sam's Story, has now made its way to both PC and consoles. It brings with it a lengthy singleplayer campaign focused not on Artyom, but rather on the lone US marine Sam that's desperately trying to make his way back home. Needless to say, things don't exactly go as planned for poor ol' Sam!
You can get a bit of an idea of what Sam's Story is all about, as well as what sort of locations you'll get to visit, through the recently posted trailers. Have a gander, it's quite an atmospheric one:

You can find the full list of games, as well as the pricing tier they appear in, down below. Have a gander, it's a fairly small but quality list:

The PC version of Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne has only just been updated with the Resident Evil 2 cross-over event and Rajang, and already Capcom is teasing some brand new content. As the title would suggest, the content in question are two new and extremely deadly monster variants: Raging Brachydios and Furious Rajang.
And when I say deadly, I really do mean that as both monsters are significantly more aggressive than their common counterparts, all on top of having new and more powerful abilities. Here's a small peek at what they look like in-game, as well as what you'll have to watch out for:

If you're in the mood for even more Dead Cells to mess around with, you'll be glad to hear that its very first paid DLC, The Bad Seed, has now arrived. It brings with it two new areas to spice up the early game, a variety of new enemies and items to toy around with, and most importantly, an absolutely massive new boss to help bring your runs to a sudden and unexpected end!
You can get a pretty good idea of what all of this looks like in gameplay terms, as well as what the two new areas are really like, through the recently posted trailer. Have a peek:

After being exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch for a couple of months now, the action-packed mech game Daemon X Machina will finally be making its way to Steam this February 13th. I must admit it wouldn't exactly be my first idea for a Valentine's Day gift, but I suppose if you're both fans of smashing gigantic mechs with an assortment of ridiculous weaponry, then it might be a pretty good bonding experience in co-op.
As for what exactly Daemon X Machina looks like in-game, that you'll find out through the recently posted PC trailer. Have a gander, it's a pretty informative one:
