[Update #2]: Biomutant has now been pinned for a May 25, 2021 release date!
[Update]: The old previews have been removed for whatever reason. You can find a brand new one over here.
Biomutant is an upcoming open-world, post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu RPG that offers you the ability to mix melee attacks, shooting and various mutant powers in order to wreak havoc on your enemies. Since most of that is par for the course these days, it is also worth mentioning that Biomutant's world and characters are imaginative, colorful, and quite unlike anything I've seen these past few years!
So while the recently posted trailer won't show you much in terms of actual gameplay, it will give you a pretty good idea of the sort of characters you'll get to interact with, enemies you'll have to beat up, as well as locations you'll be able to explore. Have a peek, Biomutant's world is a rather interesting one:

After being teased all the way back in October, NieR: Automata's combat android 2B has now made its way to Soulcalibur VI as a new DLC character. As you might expect, 2B's combat style consists of fast melee attacks that can be easily combo-ed together, as well as a variety of ranged attacks that come from her support unit and allow her to do coordinated strikes.
If you're wondering what all of that looks like in gameplay terms, allow me to share with you the original teaser trailer for 2B. Have a gander, it's a fairly short but enjoyable video:

Hearthstone's latest expansion Rastakhan's Rumble arrived a little while ago with 135 new cards in tow, as well as a couple of new mechanics to play around with. While that is certainly a large influx of new cards, they have unfortunately not be able to make much of an impact on the meta given how entrenched and well-optimized some of the decks have become over the past few months.
With that in mind, I am delighted to announce that Blizzard has now revealed nerfs to pretty much all of the meta decks, and perhaps most importantly, nerfs to Druid's most powerful ramp spells! Here's what's changing:

If you're up for giving Pillars of Eternity 2 another try, you might be glad to hear that the final DLC The Forgotten Sanctum has now arrived with mostly positive reviews to back it up. Perhaps more importantly, it has also arrived alongside a massive free update that has fixed numerous bugs and added eleven new subclasses to toy around with!
But first things first, if you're curious about what exactly The Forgotten Sanctum DLC is all about, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It's not exactly long, but it should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect:
Diablo inspired hack & slash Warhammer: Chaosbane now has a preview showing off the High Elf Mage

Warhammer: Chaosbane, much like Diablo 3 from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, is a fantasy hack & slash that's all about carving through hordes of demons, messing around with a variety of spells and abilities, and naturally, collecting more loot than you could possibly fit in even the largest of vaults. A relatively simple concept, but one that has been proven to work time and time again.
If you're wondering what all of this looks like in gameplay terms, allow me to share with you the recently posted in-game preview starring the High Elf Mage. Have a gander:

If you're a fan of exploration and challenging rogue-like games, you might want to take a look at the freshly released action-RPG Below. It features an atmospheric and procedurally generated world riddled with secrets to uncover, devious traps that can and will kill you, and naturally, a whole assortment of monstrosities you'll have to deal with on your journey into the depths.
Since that sort of description can apply to a whole bunch of games, allow me to also share with you a lengthy gameplay preview Game Infomer did with Below's Creative Director Kris Piotrowski. It'll give you a pretty dang good idea of what Below is, how it plays like, and why the developers chose to make it:
