The Epic Games Store is currently running a massive sale featuring some of the newest games

Even though the Epic Games Store released a while back, it has almost continuously managed to find itself in the center of one controversy or another. This is partly due to some of the technical problems behind the storefront itself, and partly because Epic has decided to compete with Steam by purchasing as many exclusives as possible, even if those games have already promised Steam keys to their buyers.
With that in mind, I am very glad to say that the Epic Games Store has now finally done something that can be considered as universally positive: a massive sale featuring some of the newest games out there. Until June 13th just about every single game on the Epic Games Store will be on a decent discount, while Epic themselves will be providing an additional $10 off for every game that costs more than $15.

After apparently getting tired of delving through damp and dark dungeons, the Legend of Grimrock devs have now released a colorful and charming turn-based tactics game called Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest. You can expect to see a variety of unique characters and abilities, plenty of upgrades and items to collect, as well as numerous hand-crafted missions that will require a bit of thought in order to complete.
Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you the recently posted and fairly lengthy gameplay preview. It'll give you an excellent idea of just what Druidstone is about, as well as whether it's the type of game you'd enjoy or not. Have a look:
Guild Wars 2's Episode 6 - War Eternal has now arrived alongside an awesome new flying amount

If you're as much of a fan of Guild Wars 2's mounts as I am, you might be glad to hear that Episode 6 - War Eternal has now brought with it the second flying mount - the Skyscale. Unlike the Griffon which needs to already be on an elevated position in order to get any flying done, the Skyscale will allow you to cling to sheer cliffs in order to climb them, after which you'll be able to spread your wings and explore the world from the skies. It really is a pretty cool mount!
The update has also added a brand new storyline to experience, and as is tradition, another giant map to explore with your new mount. There will also be an upgradeable armor set to collect, a legendary greatsword that changes form depending on what sort of attack you're using, as well as a bunch of other collectibles to keep yourself busy with.

After repeating the "coming in summer of 2019" statement for well over a year, Blizzard has now finally announced that World of Warcraft: Classic will be arriving this August 27th! While the three-month wait is likely going to be excruciatingly long, I do have a bit of good news - the Closed Beta has already started!
Detailed about the Closed Beta test have not been fully revealed, but Blizzard has now opened their sign-up page to the general public. Simply log into your account on the Blizzard website and adjust your beta settings to include the newly added World of Warcraft: Classic. After that, all you can really do is sit and hope you get chosen.

After being exclusive to the PlayStation 4 for a few years, the Yakuza 2 remake Yakuza Kiwami 2 has now also made its way to PC. Besides the improved gameplay and visuals, the PC version contains support for resolutions up to 4K, unlocked framerate, customizable controls, and perhaps most importantly of all, the ability to tweak a whole bunch of graphics settings.
As you would expect from the series, Yakuza Kiwami 2 has also updated all of the classic mini-games, as well as added a couple of extra ones to further devour your free time. If it's more gameplay you seek, there is also a brand new 'Majima Saga' which features Goro Majima in his own little adventure that details the events that occur prior to the start of the main campaign.

[Update #2]: 15 years after its original launch, Titan Quest has just received a new expansion - Eternal Embers.
[Update]: THQ Nordic and HandyGames seem to be teasing Titan Quest 2.
After being forgotten for nearly ten years, THQ Nordic revived the classic ARPG Titan Quest back in 2017 by releasing a brand new expansion - Ragnarok. Thankfully, the wait for the second one has not been nearly as long given that THQ Nordic has now suddenly released the second modern expansion, this time around focusing on the mythical city of Atlantis.
In terms of content, the Atlantis expansion brings with it a bunch of new zones to explore, as well as an expanded mastery system to help you further customize your characters. There are also numerous quality-of-life improvements present, so expect to see quicker spell-casting, easier storage and "other long-awaited perks"
RAGE 2's launch trailer is cheesy, completely over-the-top and refreshingly self-aware

After quite a few previews and teasers, RAGE 2 will be coming to both PC and consoles on May 14th. While it will still be a first-person shooter set in a dystopian future, RAGE 2 will be a lot more colorful, self-aware and over-the-top than its predecessor. Perhaps most importantly, it will not have an incredibly rushed final portion!
If you're wondering how all of this translates into gameplay, as well as what RAGE 2 has to offer as a whole, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. Have a peek, it's a pretty good one:
