The Warhammer 40,000 ARPG Inquisitor - Martyr is coming this May to PC and consoles

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr is an action-RPG that combines the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40k universe with the loot-focused gameplay of the Diablo series. As you might imagine from that description alone, Inquitor - Martyr is all about exploring vast and randomly generated levels, collecting far more loot than a starship could possibly carry, and naturally, gunning down hordes upon hordes of Chaos abominations.
If this sounds like the type of gameplay you would love to mess around with, you might be interested to hear that Inquisitor - Martyr has now been pinned for a May 11th release date. As far as platforms are concerned, you'll be able to blast away Chaos forces on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Necromunda: Underhive Wars is a newly revealed blend of Warhammer 40,000 grittiness and turn-based strategy

[Update #2]: Necromunda: Underhive Wars has now arrived for PC and consoles, though not without a fair few bugs.
[Update]: Warhammer 40k themed tactical RPG Necromunda: Underhive Wars is launching on September 8, 2020!
Rogue Factor, developers you might recognize from their work on the rather solid Mordheim: City of the Damned, have announced their next foray into the Warhammer universe. However, instead of going with Warhammer Fantasy, this time around they'll be exploring the grim darkness of the far future with the Warhammer 40,000 themed Necromunda: Underhive Wars.
Much like Mordheim, the gameplay in Necromunda will be a turn-based affair with a heavy focus on customization. In other words, you will be able to customize almost every aspect of your gang members, everything from their appearance to their loadout. As your characters grow in power they will be able to unlock even more skills and weapons, so it really comes down to choosing whatever playstyle you enjoy, and then trying to form a team around that idea. A fairly simple concept, but one that has been proven to work many times before.
Sea of Thieves' official gameplay trailer has arrived ahead of its March 20th release date

Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer focused pirate adventure and exploration game that's all about sailing the high seas, searching for hidden treasure, pillaging ships piloted by other players, and then hopefully making it back to port before someone else returns the favor. A fairly simple concept, but as the recently held beta tests have proven, it's one with a great deal of potential.
If you haven't given Sea of Thieves a try by now and you're wondering what it's all about, allow me to share with you the most recent gameplay trailer. It's not very lengthy or detailed, but it's a decent snapshot of what you can expect to see. Have a look:
Overwatch's tank/support hybrid Brigitte will be muscling her way onto the live servers next week

After spending a mere two weeks on the PTR (Public Test Realm), it would appear that the freshly added tank/support hybrid Brigitte is just about ready for her full debut. To be more specific, you can expect Brigitte to arrive for Quick Play and the Arcade on March 20th. No details have been given about her inclusion in Competitive Play just yet, but if past releases are any indicator she's most likely going to be sitting in the sidelines for a week before being truly unleashed upon the world.
[Update]: Apparently Brigitte won't be available in Competitive Play until Season 10. In other words, we still have 5 more weeks to wait before she's 'actually' in the game. A truly puzzling decision.
If you're interested in all of her abilities and lore, I would recommend you head on over to the official website as it contains pretty much everything you'll need to know in order to be ready for her launch. On the other hand, if you're more interested in her design and origins, allow me to share with you the most recent developer video narrated by the Lead Designer Ben Zhang. Have a look:
The Witcher 3's Geralt will be bringing his swords and magic signs to Soulcalibur VI

Yesterday the official Witcher Twitter account posted a brief yet cryptic teaser: "Kaer Morhen’s old stones have witnessed many battles... Once more they'll feel the sting of sparks as blades collide... Check back tomorrow." The pervading theory among fans was that this is some of teaser for Soulcalibur VI, mostly because the quote was phrased in such a way that it would perfectly fit the Soulcalibur announcer.
As you might imagine given the title, the fan theory was 100% correct! In other words, not only is Geralt bringing his sharp wit and even sharper swords to Soulcalibur VI, but he will be doing so alongside a Kaer Morhen themed stage and Witcher 3 inspired music. Rather than babble on, allow me to show you how Geralt handles himself in battle via the recently posted teaser trailer. Have a look, the video's short but sweet:
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been officially announced alongside a mysterious teaser trailer

Back in September of 2017 Square Enix announced a brand new Tomb Raider game, though sadly they didn't reveal any gameplay details or even the title. While the gameplay improvements are still shrouded in mystery, you might be interested to hear that the next Tomb Raider game will be called Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and that it will be arriving on September 14th.
This information comes to us from the recently posted teaser trailer, so if you would like to get a little bit of a sneak peek at Shadow of the Tomb Raider, you'll find the video right below. Don't get too excited, however, as the teaser trailer offers very little in terms of actual details. On the positive side, at least it's pretty to look at! Anyway, have a gander:
Ghost of a Tale is a newly released action-RPG starring an adorable mouse in a terrifying world
- By Ash
- in Indie Games
After five years of development, as well as a year and a half in Steam Early Access, the stylish action-RPG Ghost of a Tale has now finally released on PC. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions are in the works as well, though there is currently no official release date set just yet. According to the developers, the best estimate they can offer is "later this year" as they're still getting prepared for the whole certification process.
As for the gameplay itself, Ghost of a Tale is primarily focused on immersion and exploration. Since you are a tiny little mouse you will need to use stealth and disguises in order to avoid much larger enemies, as well as rely on your environment for both safety and a means of fighting back. After all, a giant rat might be able to chew your face off in a single bite, but that tends to be quite hard to do when an entire rack of barrels collapses on its head!
