The puzzle-exploration game Q.U.B.E. 2 will be coming to PC and consoles in early March

Q.U.B.E. 2 is an upcoming puzzle-exploration game that will have you step into the shoes of Amelia Cross, a British archaeologist that finds herself trapped on a strange alien planet littered with bizarre architecture. As you might imagine given the genre, in order to escape you'll have to conquer a variety of increasingly tricky puzzles and challenges, as well as figure out what in the world is even happening.
If you're interested in seeing what all of this might look like in-game, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. It's not a very long video, but it'll give you a basic idea of what to expect from Q.U.B.E. 2. Have a gander:
Overwatch's 27th hero, a support/tank hybrid named Brigitte, has now arrived onto the PTR

After being teased for around a week, Overwatch's 27th hero has now finally made its way to the PTR. What might come as a bit of a surprise, however, is that the 27th hero is not Emre Sarioglu as the first teaser would lead you to believe, but rather Torbjorn's daughter and Reinhardt's squire Brigitte!
You can read all about her abilities and lore by visiting the official website, but if you're just interested in the short version, let's just say that she's a tanky support hero that needs to keep hitting enemies in order to provide the vast majority of her healing. She also has a couple of displacement tools which sound like they were designed with anti-dive strategies in mind, so hopefully Brigitte will be the Tracer/Genji/D.Va/Winston counter that Overwatch has been needing for a while now.
Biomutant, the highly imaginative and colorful Kung-Fu RPG, now has a new gameplay trailer

[Update #2]: Biomutant has now been pinned for a May 25, 2021 release date!
[Update]: The trailer has been removed for some unknown reason. You can find a brand new one in my more recent Biomutant preview.
Biomutant is an upcoming open-world, post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu RPG that will allow you to mix melee attacks, shooting, and mutant abilities in order to wreak havoc on anything that dares stand in your way. While that alone might sound a bit generic, it is Biomutant's incredibly imaginative world and colorful art style that really sets it apart from the fairly overpopulated genre.
You can get a good glimpse at what Biomutant looks like, and perhaps more importantly what it plays like, through the recently posted gameplay teaser down below. It's not a very long video, but it should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from Biomutant. Have a gander:
The buffs to Sombra, Mei and Doomfist have now made their way to the live Overwatch servers

After spending a surprisingly short amount of time on the PTR, the much-needed buffs to Sombra, Mei and Doomfist have now arrived onto the live servers! Doomfist's 'fingernail gun' now regenerates ammo slightly faster, Mei uses less ammunition for her alternate fire and her slowing effect lingers for slightly longer, while Sombra has been pushed away from a supportive role towards a more disruption/assassination based playstyle.
You can learn more about these changes by checking out the most recent Developer Update right below. If you don't feel like watching the video and just want the short version, however, I'll also include all of the major patch notes. Have a look:
Hellmut, an over-the-top and fast-paced dungeon crawler, has now made its way to PC

Hellmut: the Badass from Hell is a completely over-the-top and fast-paced dungeon crawler that pits you against overwhelming numbers of demons. You'll have to explore randomly generated worlds in order to beat up bosses, find treasure and weapons to help 'liberate' even more treasure and weapons from your enemies, and "basically murderize a shockingly large number of demons."
Since trying to explain this type of game through words alone is a bit of a pointless task, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It will quickly let you know whether Hellmut is the type of game you'd enjoy or not. Have a look:
The development of the System Shock remaster has unfortunately gone on hiatus

[Update]: The System Shock Remake has now arrived, and it's looking quite good so far! The console versions are also on the way, though those will be coming at a later date.
Despite starting off extremely strong with a playable demo that managed to turn heads left and right, the development of the System Shock remaster has now unfortunately gone on hiatus. According to Nightdive Studios' CEO Stepen Kick this doesn't mean that the project is canceled, but rather that the team is taking a break in order to reassess their approach and return to the original vision.
The whole announcement is fairly brief, so allow me to just share with you the full quote. I'm afraid it won't give you much in terms of 'real' information, but it'll at least offer you some insight into System Shock's troubles. Have a look:
Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire's second major content update "A Bug in the System" is coming next week
- By Ash
- in News
After being slightly delayed due to some unforeseen problems, Guild Wars 2's Living World Season 4: Episode 2 - A Bug in the System will be coming next week, on March 6th to be exact. You can expect to see a brand new chapter of the currently ongoing story, a large new map to explore, a new mastery to unlock, and for those of you that love fancy weapons, a new legendary dagger to slowly work towards!
You can get a good look at some of these new features through the recently posted trailer down below. It's not a very long video, but it's still one of the best teasers ArenaNet has released in quite a few years so I'd definitely recommend giving it a look if you're even remotely interested in Guild Wars 2.
