Conan Exiles has now added both mounts and mounted combat

[Update]: Conan Exiles' Isle of Siptah expansion has added a large, demon-infested new world to explore.
If you were to look through the forums of any survival game, chances are you'd see quite a few requests for mounts or vehicles. This is partly because having an awesome-looking mount and companion is always fun, and partly because constantly jogging halfway across the world tends to get a bit tedious after a while.
As such, I'm sure many of you will be glad to hear that Conan Exiles has now finally added mounts. Naturally, since it's a survival game you will need to first tame and train a horse yourself, as well as create a saddle for it because not even half-naked barbarians are crazy enough to deal with all the chafing that would come from riding without one!
Hearthstone's fire-breathing Descent of Dragons expansion has now arrived

If you've been spending most of your time in Hearthstone's Battlegrounds mode and you're now itching for something a bit different, you might be glad to hear that a brand new expansion has just arrived. The aptly named Descent of Dragons expansion brings with it an assortment of cards that synergize with dragons to create powerful effects, sidequest cards that give you small objectives to complete throughout the match for fairly major rewards, and most importantly, special invoke cards that greatly power up the newly added Galakrond legendaries!
Don't worry about having to collect all of the legendaries in order to experience the new mechanics, however, as all five Galakrond variants will be granted to you for free just by logging in! You'll still need a whole bunch of new cards in order to make Galakrond decks function as expected, but even so it's a pretty neat gift and a solid starting point for a brand new build.
Final Fantasy VII remake will only be a PlayStation exclusive until 2021

[Update]: It took a while, but the enhanced version of the Final Fantasy VII Remake has now landed onto PC!
Even though there have been times where its future appeared to be less than bright, Final Fantasy VII's remake is now shaping up to be a rather faithful recreation of the original classic. The good news doesn't end there, however, as Square Enix has just confirmed that Final Fantasy VII is merely a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 4!
According to the newly revealed box, Final Fantasy VII will only be exclusively available on the PlayStation 4 until March 3, 2021. So while none of the other platforms have been announced just yet, I think it's safe to say the PC version will be coming at some point in 2021, possibly even in March itself!

[Update]: Blackwing Lair, level 50 class quests, and a whole bunch of other content are coming to World of Warcraft: Classic this February 12th!
If you're sick and tired of the rampant ganking and city-camping that has been happening ever since the recent PvP update, you'll be glad to hear that this sort of nonsense is now finally behind us. The reason? Blizzard has just released the PvP battlegrounds!
Right now only Alterac Valley and Warsong Gulch are active, though the two of them should be more than enough to provide you with plenty of eager targets and ways to gain those all-important honor points. In order to join the battlegrounds you'll need to be at least level 10, after which you'll be able to queue for them by either visiting Battlemasters in one of the capital cities, or by walking directly to the entrance of the battleground itself.
Co-op focused shooter GTFO has now made its way to Steam Early Access

[Update]: After a rather eventful Early Access stay, GTFO has now been fully released.
GTFO is a hardcore, co-op focused shooter that's all about exploring a gigantic underground complex and blasting your way through hordes upon hordes of twisted monstrosities. With limited supplies and specialized weapons, teamwork is not only highly useful, but pretty much mandatory if you intend to survive for long.
Since there's only so much you can explain through words alone, allow me to share with you one of the recent overview trailers. It'll give you a pretty good idea of just what I mean when I call GTFO hardcore, as well as what the actual gameplay is all about. Have a peek:

[Update]: Vermintide 2's Season 2 update has now arrived alongside a brand new map and a much better way of acquiring new cosmetics.
Fatshark has recently announced that Vermitnide 2 will be getting a whole bunch of new content throughout Season 2. You can expect to see three remastered Vermintide 1 maps, Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders as a way to acquire a variety of cosmetics, plenty of improvements to the recently added Weave system, and naturally, a whole bunch of bug fixes and general improvements.
If that sounds like something you would love to mess around with, you'll be glad to hear that Season 2 will be heading into open beta on December 16th! The beta will bring with it Old Haunts as the first of the three free maps, Lohner's Emporium, as well as the numerous improvements to the Weaves, including the ability to 'Quick Play' them which should greatly decrease queue times.
