Steins;Gate 0 has been available in both Japanese and English for quite a while now, and soon it will finally be making its way to PC as well. To be more specific, you can expect the PC version to launch internationally on May 8th via Steam.
In terms of story, Steins;Gate 0 will be continuing on with the time traveling theme, though it will also be adding artificial intelligence into the mix, just to make things even more complicated. You'll be able to interact with with many fan-favorite characters as well as a brand new and 'colorful' cast, though don't get too comfortable as you'll be expected to prevent the onset of World War 3! As always, your decisions will have far-reaching consequences, so if the original Steins;Gate is any indicator you should prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions.

Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom has only just made its way to PC and consoles, and already Level-5's president Akihiro Hino is teasing a brand new game. According to an interview with 4Gamer (which was translated by Gematsu), Level-5 is currently working on an MMORPG-scale game that's set in modern day.
"I’m not sure if we can call it an MMORPG or not, but were plan to make a big title on the same scale as one," Hino said. "Also, since were going into our 20th year, we want to make something we like. If we able to get support from talented people able to do things we can’t, then I think we’ll be able to make it. By the way, the game we’re preparing won’t be fantasy but rather 'modern day'.”
Ghost of a Tale's biggest update yet has taken care of the vast majority of bugs and glitches

Ghost of a Tale is a stylish action-RPG starring an adorable little mouse in a large and terrifying world. Given our main character's diminutive size the gameplay is mostly focused around utilizing stealth and disguises to avoid enemies, as well as manipulating the environment in order to secure a hidey-hole or to fight back. A fairly simple concept, yet one that ended up being highly enjoyable.
Unfortunately, while Ghost of a Tale's gameplay was enthralling enough to earn it a 93% approval rating on Steam, some of the later areas were so riddled with bugs and glitches that it was sometimes more infuriating than fun. You could even encounter an invisible wall preventing you from moving across an area you already explored, thus forcing a reload and wasting your time in the most annoying way possible. Thankfully, the most recent update has come to the rescue!
The PC version of God Eater 3 has been announced alongside a brand new gameplay preview

Bandai Namco recently hosted an event celebrating God Eater's 8th anniversary, and as you might expect, they revealed a bunch of information about the upcoming action-RPG God Eater 3. Unfortunately for us in the West, most of that information is in Japanese, but what I can tell you is that God Eater 3 will be coming to both PC and PS4.
More importantly, Bandai Namco also held a fairly lengthy gameplay presentation, so if you're interested in seeing what God Eater 3 looks like in action, you'll find the video right below. Before you dive in, just bear in mind that it is entirely in Japanese and from an early build, so it's obviously not going to be representative of the final version. With that said, here's the video:
Ash of Gods is a newly released turn-based RPG with a heavy focus on storytelling and characters

If you've ever played The Banner Saga, then Ash of Gods: Redemption should be immediately familiar. It is a turn-based RPG with a heavy focus on storytelling and plenty of difficult choices to make, as well as world so dangerous that even the main characters can perish if you manage to fumble your way through enough events.
What might be the most interesting part, however, is that Ash of Gods does not use random dice rolls in order to determine the results in combat. So if you're good enough, you'll be able to plan out your moves in such a way that you leave each combat encounter with the least amount of wasted resources. If everything goes haywire and you're left facing certain doom, worry not as you'll also have the option to sacrifice your own health for a last-ditch attack. Not exactly something you'd want to constantly use, but it's a nice safeguard from essentially orchestrating your own defeat due to a lack of randomness.
The Elder Scrolls Online's next expansion will be taking players to Summerset, home of the High Elves

Quite a few months have passed since The Elder Scrolls Online's Morrowind expansion, so if you're itching for another major dose of content you'll be glad to hear that a brand new expansion will be coming in the near future. Instead of the bizarre yet familiar lands of Morrowind, the Summerset expansion will be taking place in the fabled home of the High Elves, an area that has not made an appearance since the very first Elder Scrolls game!
Besides all of the new zones to explore, Summerset will also come with a lengthy storyline that links back to the Orisinum DLC, a new "Psijic Order" to join in order to unlock a whole set of new abilities, as well as the option to craft jewelry with powerful attributes and effects. Naturally, there will also be new world bosses, delves, public dungeons, and even all-new group challenges to overcome.
Space Hulk: Deathwing's free Enhanced Edition update is aiming to fix the mistakes of the past

Space Hulk: Deathwing is one of those games every Warhammer 40k fan has been dreaming of for years. I mean, what could be more awesome than four Space Marines clad in Terminator armor fighting against overwhelming swarms of Genestealers aboard an ancient Space Hulk! Unfortunately, Space Hulk: Deathwing released riddled with more bugs than Genestealers, and the much-anticipated gunplay ended up feeling somewhat bland and underwhelming.
There is still some hope however, even in the grim darkness of the far future, as the developers have announced their plans to release an Enhanced Edition on May 22nd. All of the new content and fixes will be completely free for the PC version, while the PS4 version will launch on that date with all of the content already included.
