Sombra from Overwatch looking at the camera menacingly

While Sombra has been changed time and time again, she has never really managed to find her place in the Overwatch competitive scene. With that in mind, I'm sure it won't come as much of a surprise to hear that Blizzard is currently working on rebalancing almost every aspect of Sombra's kit.

What might come as a bit of a surprise, however, is that their current iteration of Sombra includes permanent Stealth and a Translocator that does not fade away with time! The Stealth movement speed bonus has been reduced to 50% from 75% and you can no longer contest objectives while invisible, but that's pretty much the only limitation you'll have if this goes through.

Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom official artwork and logo

While Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom is a charming and fairly enjoyable RPG, it's also unfortunately so easy that veteran players will find very little challenge in it. This goes doubly so for players with a penchant for exploration as solving all of the various side-quests will leave you absurdly overpowered for all of the main content.

With that in mind, I am very glad to say that the latest update has brought in some highly requested new difficulty settings: Hard and Expert. As you might expect, the higher you crank up the difficulty, the harder the battles will be. In order to spice things up a bit more, however, the harder difficulty modes will not only increase the drop chance of rare items, but they will also give you access to accessories with two skill rather than the usual one!

Overwatch screenshot of Halloween Terror cosmetic Dragon Symmetra

After spending quite a bit of time on the PTR, one of Overwatch's most anticipated updates has now finally arrived onto the live servers. It brings with it a greatly reworked Symmetra that's bound to cause a meta-shift or two, a significantly updated Horizon Lunar Colony that will hopefully be less attacker-sided, and perhaps most importantly of all, a brand new Looking For Group and Endorsement system!

If you're just looking for a quick summary and you don't mind figuring out the details on your own, you should check out the most recent trailer down below. It's a fairly short video, but it should get you up to speed quite nicely. Have a look:

Screenshot of the alien from Creative Assembly's Alien: Isolation

[Update]: Bad news, I'm afraid. Creative Assembly's multiplayer extraction shooter Hyenas has been canceled alongside a few more projects.

While most of Creative Assembly is busy working on the various Total War titles, the Alien: Isolation team has been strangely silent despite creating a rather beloved game. The latter part has unfortunately still not changed, but I am glad to announce that the Alien: Isolation team is currently working on a mysterious new First Person Tactical Shooter!

This information comes to us from a job listing over at the Creative Assembly website, though as you can probably imagine, it doesn't actually shed much light on the game itself. The only thing I can really tell you is that it will most likely be available on PC and consoles given that the job listing quite clearly states this is for the "Console Team".

Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire screenshot of the new Roller Beetle mount

After a bit of a delay, Guild Wars 2's Living World Season 4: Episode 3 - Long Live the Lich has now finally made its way to the live servers. While its full title might be absurdly long, the update more than makes up for it in terms of pure content. There's a new chapter of the currently ongoing Living World storyline, an expansive new map to explore and pillage, a new legendary item to craft, and most importantly of all, a rather speedy Roller Beetle mount to acquire!

If you would like a little bit of a sneak peek at what the Long Live the Lich update brings to the table, you'll find the recently posted trailer right below. It's fairly short, but I'd say it's well worth checking out, if for no other reason than the new beetle mount. Have a gander:

Scrolls (or Caller's Bane) artwork showing a bunch of bunnies

While Mojang's Scrolls brought with it a rather interesting take on the online card game formula, it unfortunately never managed to gather enough of a following to warrant continuous development. All of this eventually culminated with Mojang shutting down the servers earlier this year, though not before promising they'll try and release the server software to the public.

Very little has been heard about Scrolls since then, but it would appear that Mojang was successful as the community-run Caller's Bane has now arisen as a the game's successor! As expected, it is exactly the same game as before, though due to the server package now being public it is entirely possible to rebalance cards, change some of the rules, and even add new trials. Whether you want to actually use any of these new tweaks, that is entirely up to you and the people you decide to play with.

Divinity: Original Sin 2's Definitive Edition official artwork and logo

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is set to arrive this August, bringing with it an absolute ton of improvements. First and foremost, the Enhanced Edition will come with a much better tutorial that will slowly ease players into all of the various gameplay mechanics, combos and environmental manipulations. Perhaps most importantly, at least for those that are in it for the story above everything else, there will be a new and easier difficulty mode to choose from. 

If you prefer a bit of a challenge, however, you'll be glad to hear that a lot of the encounters will be getting reworked in order to be a bit trickier to solve. You can also expect to see a bunch of new encounters, a far more balanced gold/xp curve from Act 2 and onward, as well as some much-needed performance improvements for both console and PC.
