Warhammer's annual Skulls festival has now arrived, and with it a whole bunch of exciting new announcements. The most unexpected of these, and the one that fills me with the most joy, is the reveal of a brand new turn-based CRPG from Owlcat Games, the team behind the excellent Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous!
The freshly revealed Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader will put you in charge of a massive voidship and task you with exploring the far reaches of the galaxy. From there you will have to make a wide variety of choices that will have serious consequences for both your character and crew. This includes the obvious choices like remaining loyal to the Emperor and purging corruption wherever you find it, as well as more heretical options like consorting with the ruinous powers in a bid for infamy!

Nearly two decades later, the 3D platfomer series Kao the Kangaroo has received a brand new game

Inspired by the golden age of 3D platformers, the newly launched Kao the Kangaroo is an action-adventure that's all about exploring a colorful world while smashing your way through all sorts of wacky baddies. Along the way you'll have to solve puzzles, collect a bunch of goodies in order to unlock upgrades and costumes, and naturally, do a whole lot of jumping around as this is still a 3D platformer!
What Kao the Kangaroo looks like in actual gameplay, that you can find out through the launch trailer below. Have a gander, and I sure hope you like generic music!
Pokemon inspired MMO Temtem will be launching for PC and consoles in September 2022

Temtem, much like the Pokemon series from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, is a creature collecting and battling RPG with a bit of exploration thrown into the mix to help spice things up. However, unlike the Pokemon games that are largely singleplayer experiences, Temtem is an MMO and is thus focused around player-to-player interactions like trading, adventuring, and naturally, dueling.
If that sounds like something you'd love to mess around with, you'll be happy to hear that after two years in Early Access Temtem is now slowly getting ready to be unleashed. In other words, you can expect to see version 1.0 to arrive onto PC and consoles on September 6th, 2022!
It looks like PlayStation 5's bullet hell roguelike Returnal is almost certainly coming to PC

Thanks to Sony recently boasting about how well their PC ports have done, as well as how much they have planned for the future, a fair few rumors started spreading about which games we might see make the transition onto PC next. While the truthfulness of many of these rumors is still in question, I'm happy to say that it looks quite likely that the bullet hell roguelike Returnal is indeed heading towards PC!
As noted on SteamDB, the freshly updated app named 'Oregon' sports a whole bunch of tags that very heavily point towards Returnal: third-person shooter, bullet hell, sci-fi, rogue-like, female protagonist, and the list goes on for a while. And just to really drive the point home, Oregon's update history also mentions Returnal's endless mode - Tower of Sisyphus.
Age of Empires 3 expansion has added two new civilizations and an economy-focused game mode

Age of Empires 2 has recently received a brand new expansion, and now it's time for Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition to get some brand new toys as well. The Knights of the Mediterranean expansion brings with it Malta and Italy as two new civilizations with unique playstyles to explore, as well as an assortment of historical maps modeled after some of the most famous European conflicts.
For those of you that crave a bit of a different experience, there's also the casual friendly new game mode - Tycoon. Rather than focus on direct combat, Tycoon is all about achieving economic superiority and diving deep into some of Age of Empire 3's city-building strategies that don't usually get to shine in the competitive matches.
