[Update]: Untitled Goose Game is adding a free two-player multiplayer mode for maximum geese-based chaos!
If you ever wanted to feel what it's like to be a feathery menace to society, look no further than the recently released Untitled Goose Game. It's essentially a stealth-focused sandbox game about a thoroughly grumpy goose that simply cannot stand the sight of other people being happy.
As such, you'll be expected to complete a variety of charming and hilarious tasks, all in an effort to disrupt and annoy the people around you. This includes things like stealing a man's shoes, throwing a farmer's rake straight into the river, locking a young boy in a phone booth, as well as making a TV appearance by screaming like a maniac. Basically, you'll have to act like a goose!

[Update]: Blizzard has now released a lengthy preview of everything coming in with Patch 8.3!
Update 8.2.5 has only just arrived with the cinematic conclusion to the War Campaign, and already Blizzard has shifted the focus towards Patch 8.3 - Visions of N'Zoth. Unlike the previous update, however, Visions of N'Zoth brings with it a massive amount of new content, both in terms of story and gameplay.
As you might imagine from the name alone, Visions of N'Zoth will be largely focused around the Old Gods and their plans. Throughout the update the veil between our world and the void will slowly break apart, bringing forth numerous invasions by N'Zoth's forces. According to Blizzard, these assaults will be incorporating everything they've learned from the previous faction invasions, so hopefully they will be pretty fun to mess around with.

[Update]: Doom Eternal's second gameplay trailer highlights the new weapons and storylines.
Doom Eternal was originally supposed to launch in November of 2019, but according to the latest announcement that's no longer going to be the case. Instead, Doom Eternal will be making its way to both PC and consoles on March 20, 2020.
As for the reason behind this delay, it is thankfully nothing catastrophic. Instead, it would appear that id Software is simply looking to get a few more months of polishing in order to make sure Doom Eternal lives up to its predecessor.

[Update]: World of Warcraft: Classic is bringing back Layering in order to combat lengthy queue times and server lag, though worry not as this will only be a temporary measure.
When it comes to World of Warcraft: Classic, there has been no feature more controversial than the layering system. Essentially, the layering system allows Blizzard to have servers within servers, all in an effort to ensure that there are plenty of players in each zone, as well as to avoid the extremely lengthy queue times that have marked the early days of the original World of Warcraft.
While the layering system has done its job admirably in this regard, it has also caused a couple of issues. Most notably, players aware of how the layering system works were able to constantly shift between them and farm rare materials almost endlessly. Blizzard quickly put a stop to this by introducing a variety of restrictions so things never really got out of hand, though the core problem still remained.

[Update]: Apex Legends' Season 4 will bring with it another new legend - the deadly Revenant.
If you're looking for an excuse to boot up Apex Legends, the newly released Season 3 update is certainly a good one. Not only has it brought in a massive new map to explore, but it has also added Crypto as a new Legend, as well as the Charge Rifle as a brand new energy sniper to toy around with!
The Season 3 update has also rebalanced a whole bunch of weapons, somewhat reshuffled the loot, as well as adjusted how the ranked mode functions. You can find the full details over at the developer update, but the most important thing you need to know is that assists now matter just as much as kills. In other words, playing as a team and focusing fire will no longer be inadvertently punished in the ranked mode!
Minecraft's next major update will be greatly expanding the Nether and its inhabitants

[Update #2]: The Nether update has now arrived, and it's a pretty big one!
[Update]: Minecraft's newest snapshot (beta) update has now finally brought in the Nether improvements!
Out of all the regions in Minecraft, the Nether is probably the most disappointing one to explore. It's almost entirely monotonous in color, you're constantly walking through treacherous terrain, and there is barely anything of interest to find there. Not exactly ideal for a zone that is supposed to be awe-inspiring.
In order to sort this little problem out, as well as breathe some fresh new life into it's lava-riddled caverns, Mojang has now announced that the next major Minecraft update will be all about the Nether. While the details are still few and far between, the Nether update will bring with it multiple new biomes to explore, new enemies to either fight against or trade with, as well as a whole bunch of new items to collect.
After seemingly being dead for years, Cube World has now finally launched onto Steam

The colorful and voxel-based RPG Cube World managed to garner a sizable amount of excitement back in 2013 with the release of its very first alpha build. However, despite the positive reception, the development on Cube World was seemingly halted the very same year. With no communication from the leader developer 'Wollay' and the game itself being pulled from storefronts, Cube World's fate looked to be sealed.
As such, you can imagine the surprise when Wollay recently appeared and not only announced that development on Cube World is still ongoing, but that the full release is just around the corner. He wasn't joking either, because after years and years in development, Cube World has now officially launched onto Steam!
