Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition screenshot from one of the cinematics

If you're a fan of JRPGs and you're enjoying the fact that so many of them are now making their way to PC, I'm quite happy to continue that trend by announcing that Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will be making its way to both PC and consoles this January 11th. You can expect to see fully updated HD graphics, brand new music tracks, new characters and storylines, bosses and mini-games, as well as a collection of previously unreleased cosmetic DLC.

While it won't show you everything, you can get a bit of a sneak peek at some of the new and updated content by checking out the trailers down below. Have a look, neither one is particularly long:

Life is Strange: Before the Storm official artwork and logo

After a rather hefty wait, Life is Strange: Before the Storm has now finally made its way to both macOS and Linux. It brings with it a story exploring the relationship between our unruly protagonist Chloe Price and the always-popular Rachel Amber, though there is also a small bonus episode covering Max's initial departure from Arcadia Bay.

As expected, the standard edition brings with it all of the three of the main episodes bundled together, while those interested in the above-mentioned bonus episode "Farewell" will need to grab the Deluxe Edition. A bit annoying as the Deluxe Edition doesn't really offer much else, but I'd still recommend getting it if you're a fan of the original game.

Assassin's Creed 3 official artwork without logo

I fully expected that Ubisoft would eventually start remastering the old Assassin's Creed games, most of them are still held in high regard after all, but what I never could've guessed is that they would start with Assassin's Creed 3! Yet that is exactly what's happening given that Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered will be available in both Odyssey's Season Pass and as a standalone purchase in March of 2019.

If you're up for even more surprises, you might be interested to hear that the PlayStation Vita game Assassin's Creed Liberation will also be getting remastered and bundled together with Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered. Oh, and it's also worth mentioning that all of Assassin's Creed 3 DLCs will be included as a part of the core game. A pretty sweet deal if you ask me!

Warhammer: Chaosbane screenshot of a glimmering temple

Given the immense success of both Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer, it was only a matter of time before the Warhammer Fantasy universe started spreading to even more genres. After all, if you have an entire universe filled with colorful monsters that would love nothing more than to destroy the world, why not create a game that revolves around endlessly blazing through hordes upon hordes of said beasties!

This is where Warhammer: Chaosbane comes into play as the very first hack n' slash set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. Much like Diablo 3 from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, Warhammer: Chaosbane is all about choosing your favorite character and skill set, and then going on a murderous rampage throughout the Old World - a rampage that will only ever stop once your bags become overflowing with randomized loot.

Screenshot of Overwatch's Roadhog blasting away Torbjorn

Even though Roadhog is currently in a bit of a bad spot, the latest Overwatch update brought with it a fairly significant nerf to his secondary fire. Instead of it being able to do its full damage to shields regardless of distance, the new change made it so the secondary fire suffered from damage drop-off, similar to Soldier or McCree. Unfortunately, this rather small change resulted in Roadhog's shield-breaking capability going down significantly as unless you were dangerously close to the enemy, your damage would end up being reduced quite considerably.

Thankfully, Blizzard has realized just how much harm this change has done, and so they have sneakily added some new tweaks in order to bring Roadhog's weapon back in line. The changes have now finally been announced as well, so if you're curious about what exactly has happened, you'll find the brief list of tweaks right below:

Dead or Alive 6 close up screenshot of Kasumi

After a bit of a hiatus, the Dead or Alive series will finally be making a return on February 15th for both PC and consoles. You can expect Dead or Alive 6 to bring with it a brand new engine and improved graphics, visible damage on the characters as the combat drags on, a variety of new mechanics to help keep the gameplay fresh, and perhaps most surprisingly for the series, the completely over-the-top jiggle physics will be getting toned down in favor of creating much more elaborate and interesting costumes.

If you're wondering what all of this looks like in-game, allow me to share with you the recently posted teaser trailer. It's a bit over-edited for my liking, but it should still give you a pretty decent idea of the direction Dead or Alive 6 is heading in. Have a look:

Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire - A Star To Guide Us screenshot of a branded Dragon

After the slightly disappointing Long Live the Lich update, Guild Wars 2's Living World Season 4 will soon return with Episode 4 - A Star To Guide Us. You can expect to see a brand new map that's quite literally branded by Kralkatorrik, as well as a new raid where we'll get a chance to enter the Mystic Forge and come face to face with the djinn Zommoros. There will also be a new upgradeable armor set, a personal character instance inspired by the original Guild Wars, and naturally, a new Legendary scepter that summons a familiar that will accompany you in battle.

If you're wondering what this looks like in gameplay terms, allow me to share with you the recently posted teaser trailer. Before you dive in, however, just be warned that the video contains some relatively major spoilers for the previous episodes. So if you haven't already completed them, I would highly recommend doing that first. With that little bit of warning now out of the way, here's the video:
