After around six years of adventures, Clementine's story will finally be getting concluded with the aptly named The Walking Dead: The Final Season. While the full schedule has not been confirmed just yet, you can expect to see the very first episode arrive this August 14th.
If you're wondering what exactly it's going to be about, as well as what Clementine looks and acts like nowadays, you'll find the answer you seek in the recently posted preview down below. The video shows off the first ~15 minutes from the initial episode, so while you will get a pretty darn good idea of what The Final Season is all about, it is important to mention that there will be plenty of minor spoilers sprinkled throughout the video as well. So if you don't mind having some of the starting choices and consequences revealed to you, here's the rather interesting preview:
The Metroidvania brawler Guacamelee! 2 will be coming to PC and PS4 this August 21st

Much like its predecessor, Guacamelee! 2 is a Mexican-themed action-platformer with more than a fair share of Metroidvania elements to spice things up. As you might expect from that description alone, Guacamelee! 2 is going to be all about wondering across a giant world, collecting new powers to use for combat and exploration, stringing together lengthy combos in order to exploit an enemy's weakness, and occasionally even turning into a chicken... because why not!
If this sort of combination sounds like a great deal of fun, you might be interested to hear that Guacamelee! 2 will be releasing in the very near future, on August 21th to be more specific. In terms of platforms, however, you can expect to see it on both PC and PS4.
World of Warcraft update has reduced the power of level 15-100 enemies, while experience requirements for levels 60-80 will soon become much lower

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth's pre-patch has arrived a little while ago, bringing with it a variety of changes for everything from PvP to leveling. Most notably, the pre-patch introduced a massive stat-squish in order to stop the constantly ongoing inflation of damage and health numbers. While the tweaks have managed to accomplish just that, they have unfortunately also made the leveling process a lot more difficult than before, and consequently a lot slower as well.
In order to correct some of these issues, Blizzard has now released a hotfix that has reduced the damage of level 15-100 enemies by 14%, as well as their health by 24%. While there might still be some outliers, this should go a long way towards solving the problem of high level enemies having nearly the same amount of health and damage as their lower level counterparts.
The PC version of Ys: Memories of Celceta has now arrived without any major issues

Given how poorly Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana ran on PC when it first launched, I am quite delighted to announce that the PC port of Ys: Memories of Celceta has now arrived without any major issues! What it did arrive with, however, is the usual batch of PC-exclusive features: support for a variety of resolutions, an unlocked frame rate, and naturally, fully customizable controls. For those of you that like an additional challenge, the PC version also features a brand new Boss Rush mode.
You can get a bit of a peek at what all of this looks like in-game through the recently posted trailer. It's not exactly long, but it should help answer some of the basic questions you might have about Memories of Celceta. Have a look:
Overwatch's latest hero Wrecking Ball has now grappled his way onto the live servers

After spending quite a bit of time on the PTR, Overwatch's cutest and quite certainly strangest hero has now finally made his way to the live servers. As you're probably well aware from the image above, Wrecking Ball is a sentient, highly intelligent hamster piloting a deadly and ridiculously mobile mech. While I'm not a big fan of Wrecking Ball as a character, his gameplay style more than makes up for any shortcomings as it's just the perfect blend of mobility and burst damage.
If you have no idea what I'm actually talking about, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It's fairly brief and all of the abilities are obviously exaggerated, but it'll still give you a pretty darn good idea of what Wrecking Ball is capable of. Have a gander:
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth's video tells the story of Jaina Proudmoure and her inner conflicts

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is set to arrive this August 14th, bringing with it a renewed focus on the war between the Horde and the Alliance. It's the same song and dance we've seen with just about every expansion so far, but it does seem that Battle for Azeroth will take things a lot further with the new War Mode and some actually relevant conquests.
In order to get everyone up to speed on the two characters that will be leading this conflict, Sylvanas Windrunner and Jaina Proudmoore, Blizzard has once started releasing some rather beautifully animated shorts. The very first one of these videos is simply titled Warbringers: Jaina, and I would highly recommend you give it a look, if for no other reason than the awesome music:
The PC version of Disgaea 5 Complete has been delayed once more, this time to Fall of 2018

The PC version of Disgaea 5 Complete was supposed to launch on May 7th, but was unfortunately delayed due to a major bug. Summer has since then arrived in force and as you're probably aware, Disgaea 5 Complete is still not available on PC. I'm afraid that's going to continue being the case for a few more months as the release date has once again been pushed back, this time until Fall of 2018.
On the positive side, I can tell you there will be a private beta starting in early October. Whether you'll need to pre-order Disgaea 5 in order to get, that I do not know, but at least we'll get a pretty darn good idea of just what the PC port is going to be like.
