When it comes to dishing out new Overwatch lore, Blizzard moves at a speed that can only be described as glacial. However, in a refreshing twist, they have now released the second part of the Tracer-focused London Calling comic - a mere month after the original!
London Calling #2 continues immediately after its predecessor and follows Tracer as she attempts to stop Widowmaker from assassinating the Omnic monk Mondatta. While this is an already well known story, things do get further fleshed out through the addition of side-characters that seem like they will have a major role in the future of King's Row.
Total War: Warhammer 2's massive Wood Elf focused DLC is coming this December 2020

While this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that it was teased a very long time ago, Total War: Warhammer 2's next DLC will focus heavily on the Wood Elves. However, given that the Wood Elves themselves are already a piece of DLC, Creative Assembly has wisely split the new DLC into pieces in order to ensure nobody gets left out.
So if you own Total War: Warhammer 2 and this upcoming DLC, you will get the Wood Elves as a playable faction, as well as a variety of new units, two new Legendary Lords and new mounts. Furthermore, if you own Total War: Warhammer 1, 2 and this upcoming DLC, you will also be able to play the Wood Elves on the Mortal Empires map, though only as the newly introduced factions.
Legends of Runeterra's Monuments of Power expansion has arrived with a bunch of new cards

When it comes to card games, more is always better. A few balance patches here and there are all well and good, but it is the massive influx of new cards from an expansion that really shake the meta up and create a fresh and exciting environment for everyone to mess around with. With that in mind, I'm happy to say that Legends of Runeterra has just received a brand new expansion!
The Monuments of Power set brings with it 3 fancy new champion cards (Shyvana, Soraka, and Tahm Kench), as well as 40 new cards in total. The most exciting part of this batch of cards is the brand new card type - Landmark. These are cards that use up a slot on the board, yet cannot attack or defend. Instead, they provide you with a passive bonus for as long as they remain in play, which is a classic risk vs reward arrangement and something that will fit quite nicely within Legends of Runeterra.
RuneScape has now made its way to Steam, while Old School RuneScape will follow in 2021

It may have taken quite a while for this to happen, but RuneScape has now finally made its way to Steam! It brings with it 20 new achievements, 15 trading cards, 6 emoticons, 6 badges, as well as 3 player profile backgrounds to spruce up your account with.
Speaking of which, the Steam launch has also brought with it a couple of bundles for first-time members. Each one offers an increasingly lengthy RuneScape Membership Access subscription, fancy cosmetics and treasures keys, so if you're already planning to spend money on membership, you might want to look into those. As for whether any of them are actually a good deal, I'm afraid I simply don't know.

If you're in the mood for a cooking and restaurant management game that takes things in a bit of a different (and strange) direction, you might want to check out the newly launched Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3. And when I say strange, I really do mean that as Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3 take place in the post-apocalypse and features attacks from rival cooking gangs!
Since I'm aware that sounds like a whole load of nonsense, allow me to also share with you the recently posted launch trailer. It'll clue you in quite quickly on just what Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3 has to offer:
Shadowlands pre-patch has now arrived with revamped leveling and tons of new customization

While World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion has been delayed until later this year, its pre-patch has now arrived in order to help everyone pass the time. Personally, I would highly recommend trying out a brand new character as the pre-patch has not only squished levels from 120 to 50, but also made it so you can quest through any of the expansions on your journey to max level!
There is also a new zone specifically tailored to beginners, Exile's Reach, that will teach players pretty much everything they need to know about World of Warcraft and how it works. Best of all, it's also a pretty fun zone to level through, so if you haven't experienced it yet, it's well worth checking out.
Valorant's Act 3 update has now brought in the very first new map - Icebox

[Update]: Valorant has pulled back the recent Update 1.11 due to massive technical issues.
After being teased for a little while, Valorant's very first new map, Icebox, has now finally arrived! Expect to see plenty of snow, an entire jungle of storage containers, a bunch of heavy machinery, and most importantly of all, ziplines!
You can get a little bit of a sneak peek at what Icebox looks like in-game, as well as how useful the ziplines might be, through the recently posted trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:
