[Update]: The Hunter & The Beast, as well as its accompanying free update, have now arrived in force!
Total War: Warhammer 2 will be getting The Hunter & The Beast DLC this September 11th, which will bring with it a whole host of new toys to play around with for both the Empire and Lizardmen. Expect to see two new Legendary Lords, a variety of new units, new regiments of renown, as well as new campaign mechanics for both factions.
Besides the paid DLC, September 11th will also mark the arrival of a massive free update. The Empire will be getting its long-awaited rework and will now actually be able to summon the Elector Counts, while the Lizardmen will get an extremely powerful (and free) new Legendary lord - Gor-Rok, the Great White Lizard.

Action-RPG The Surge 2 is set to arrive this September 24th for both PC and consoles. You can expect to see a whole bunch of Dark Souls inspired action, a much wider and interesting world to explore when compared to its predecessor, as well as plenty of weapons and customization options to help you tear murder-bots and other monstrosities limb from limb.
Since words alone aren't really good enough when it comes to describing an action-RPG, I'm happy to say that the developers have now released 13 minutes of pure gameplay. So if you're wondering just what The Surge 2 has to offer, you'll find your answers right below:
Apex Legends' Wraith themed Voidwalker event has arrived with a redesigned area and new cosmetics

After an extremely slow and barren Season 1, it would appear that Respawn has come better prepared for Season 2. Just last month we've had an Octane themed event alongside a bunch of new cosmetics, and already we're getting the same sort of treatment, just with a bit of a Wraith flair to it.
Much like the Octane event, the Voidwalker update has redesigned an area to highlight some of Wraith's story, as well as to make a previously boring part of the map just a little bit more exciting. And thankfully, the new rework has managed to do just that by adding some lovely in-door areas to fight in, as well as a giant portal to fling yourself through!
World of Warcraft: Classic devs have addressed player concerns about Layering

[Update]: Blizzard is now getting ready to entirely remove the layering system.
In order to avoid having half-empty servers later on, as well as to combat the initially massive influx of players, Blizzard implemented a layering system for World of Warcraft: Classic. Essentially, it's like having mini-servers within each server.
While the layering system has done its job admirably by making WoW Classic actually playable during its launch week, there have been a couple of problems as well. Most notably, some players have been using layering to search for rare monsters and loot, potentially doubling or even tripling the amount of items they'd normally be able to farm.
Ubisoft has revealed the detailed list of PC system requirements for Ghost Recon Breakpoint

I have to give credit where credit is due, Ubisoft does not take the PC versions of their games lightly. Even when it comes to simply listing the system requirements, they tend to go above and beyond what is actually required of them.
As such, it probably won't come as much of a surprise to hear that the PC system requirements for the upcoming Ghost Recon Breakpoint cover everything on the spectrum from "barely playable" to "all sliders to the right, please." In other words, here's what you'll need to run Ghost Recon Breakpoint at certain settings:
After many years in development, Cube World will finally be launching in late September/early October

[Update]: Cube World has now finally released in full, though the reviews are unfortunately a bit mixed.
Cube World is a colorful, voxel-based RPG first released as an alpha all the way back in 2013. However, due to a variety of issues, Cube World's development seemingly ceased the same year, and eventually it even became unavailable for purchase.
With the lead developer's lack of communication and no substantial updates, Cube World was thought to be an abandoned project. With that in mind, you can imagine my surprise when I opened up Twitter and saw a brand new announcement stating that Cube World is not only alive and kicking, but also ready to release in the near future!

Greedfall is an upcoming story-focused RPG from Spiders, the developers behind Of Orcs and Men, Bound By flame and The Technomancer. As a diplomat in a foreign land, your role will be to solve the endlessly brewing conflicts between the various factions, as well as to hopefully figure out just what in the world is happening in this strange new region.
You can get a little bit of an idea of what this entails, as well as what sort of factions you can expect to see, through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a gander, it's a short but interesting one:
