[Update #2]: I'm afraid I have some bad news. Overwatch 2 will be drastically downscaling the scope and amount of its long-awaited PvE missions.
[Update]: Overwatch 2's April 25th update has rejigged Lifeweaver's keybinds and buffed a bunch of his abilities.
After having us wait for quite a while, the Overwatch 2 team has now finally unleashed the next support hero... and it's quite an interesting one! To put it simply, Lifeweaver is a mobility focused support that can mess with the positioning of both enemies and allies, which as you might imagine can lead to some insane (or insanely bad) plays.
First things first, allow me to share with you the gameplay trailer as that should give you a pretty good idea of just what Lifeweaver's toolkit is trying to do. Have a peek, it's quite an intriguing hero design:

[Update #2]: Vampire Survivors will be adding local co-op and fully switching to a new engine on August 17th.
[Update]: Vampire Survivors is getting an animated show, along with even more free updates throughout the Summer!
If you're just looking for an excuse to dive back into Vampire Survivors and lose another dozen hours or so demolishing absurd numbers of enemies, you'll be happy to hear that a brand new expansion has just arrived. Tides of the Foscari brings with it a huge new map to explore, 7 new music tracks, 8 new "extremely original and not remotely derivative" characters, 13 new weapons to experiment with, and naturally, a whole host of new secrets to uncover!
Best of all, the whole thing costs barely anything. Much like the first expansion Tides of the Foscari will set you back 2€, or 1,8€ during the currently ongoing launch week discount. By Grabthar’s Hammer... what a savings!

[Update]: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has arrived, and it's thankfully not a disaster.
If you were itching to see just what Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has to offer once it finally arrives this May, I'm afraid I have some bad news. According to the freshly posted announcement, Suicide Squad has now been delayed yet again, this time around until February 2nd, 2024!
"We have made the tough but necessary decision to take the time needed to work on getting the game to be the best quality experience for players," reads the brief developer update. "Thank you to our amazing community for the continued support, patience and understanding. There is much more to share in the months ahead and we look forward to seeing you in Metropolis next year."
All of MTG Arena's upcoming March of the Machine cards, including the freshly invented Battles, have now been revealed

[Update #2]: Magic: The Gathering is extending its Standard rotation from two to three years in order to help the floundering format on tabletop.
[Update]: MTG Arena's March of the Machine expansion has now arrived with a new card type, improved duplicate protection, and the ability to select your favorite card style!
I hope you're not feeling overwhelmed by the constant influx of new cards, because even though Shadows Over Innistrad Remastered has only just arrived, the MTG Arena team is now getting ready to unleash a rather massive Standard expansion. Not only that, but once the March of the Machine set arrives this April 18th it'll do so alongside an entirely new card type - Battle!
Each Battle enters play with a certain number of counters on it, sort of like a Planeswalker card. In order to unlock the special (and often quite powerful) effects found on the flip side of each Battle you'll need to reduce those counters to zero by either attacking said Battle or by using certain types of spells to damage it or remove its counters. Notably, destroying Battles directly will not flip them - you need to remove all of the counters 'fairly' to get to the goodies!
World of Warcraft's Update 10.1 will be adding a new zone, raid and cross-faction guilds on May 2nd

[Update #2]: Patch 10.1 - Embers of Neltharion has now been unleashed, and I'm happy to say that it's looking quite good so far!
If you've chewed through the bite-sized Update 10.0.7 and you're now itching for some new stuff to do, you'll be happy to hear that the next big patch is right around the corner. To be more specific, Update 10.1 - Embers of Neltharion will be going live on May 2nd, 2023.
Embers of Neltharion will bring with it Zaralek Caverns as a chunky new zone to explore, a continuation of the story campaign that will have us face off against the freshly freed Incarnates, a brand new raid by the name of Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, as well as new Assaults to repell in both the Azure Span and Ohn’ahran Plains zones.
Total War: Warhammer 3's Update 3.0 will bring with it four brand new challenge missions - Trials of Fate

[Update #2]: Total War: Warhammer 3 devs have detailed their roadmap for updates throughout 2023 and early 2024. This also includes fixes for some of the recently introduced performance problems!
[Update]: The update has now arrived, and unfortunately it has done so alongside quite a few performance issues.
Once it arrives this April 13th, Total War: Warhammer 3's Update 3.0 will bring with it the long-awaited Chaos Dwarfs DLC, as well as the biggest set of changes the game has seen so far. While the exact details are still shrouded in mystery, Creative Assembly has announced that one of the new additions will be a set of challenge missions called the Trials of Fate.
The Trials of Fate will put you in the shoes (or perhaps talons) of a newly ascended Daemon Prince of Tzeentch and will task you with carving a bloody path through time itself. Each of the four missions will be a recreation of an infamous battle from the past, all of which will eventually culminate in a showdown with Kairos Fateweaver in the Realm of Tzeentch itself.

[Update #2]: I'm afraid I have some bad news. Overwatch 2 will be drastically downscaling the scope and amount of its long-awaited PvE missions.
[Update]: Overwatch 2's April 25th update has rejigged Lifeweaver's keybinds and buffed a bunch of his abilities.
While Season 3 mostly focused on optional game modes and general improvements, tomorrow's Season 4 will once again be adding a brand new hero. This time around we'll be getting Lifeweaver - a highly mobile support that's also capable of messing with the positioning of both allies and enemies.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video has quite a lot of them, allow me to share with you Lifeweaver's gameplay overview trailer. It should give you a pretty good idea of just what his skillset is about and how it all plays together. Have a peek:
