[Update #2]: PowerWash Simulator's first actual DLC will be a SpongeBob crossover, of all things.
[Update]: It took a short while, but PowerWash Simulator has now launched a free crossover with Final Fantasy VII.
In a bit of an unusual update, the self-explanatory PowerWash Simulator has just recently launched a crossover with none other than Lara Croft! The free update brings with it five new levels focused around the iconic Croft Manor that will have you have you inflict horrific water damage to everything from Lara's obstacle course to her treasure room.
What all of this nonsense looks like in actual gameplay, that you can check out through the freshly posted trailer. Have a gander:
Superhero themed ARPG Superfuse has now landed into Early Access, though in a rather rough state

Instead of going with the usual dark fantasy setting that seems to mark most ARPGs, the recently released Superfuse is a comic book and superhero themed hack'n'slash set in the distant future. As you would expect from any game inspired by Diablo 2, Superfuse's gameplay is all about carving a path through untold numbers of aliens and monstrosities with unique classes and abilities, all the while vacuuming up more loot than any human could ever possibly hope to carry.
How all of this looks like in action, however, that you can get a pretty good idea of through the launch trailer below. Have a gander:
Back 4 Blood will not be getting any more content updates as Turtle Rock Studios are now working on a brand new game

Despite each expansion getting better and better in terms of quality, it looks like Back 4 Blood never managed to capture enough of an audience to warrant long-term support. And so, after a little over a year's worth of updates, Turtle Rock Studios are now shifting their attention towards their next big project.
"With three expansions – Tunnels of Terror, Children of the Worm, and River of Blood – we’ve traveled on a fantastic adventure together beyond the walls of Fort Hope," reads the brief announcement. "This phase of our war against the Ridden now comes to a close."
Overwatch 2's Season 3 won't add a new hero, but rather a new Control map - Antarctic Peninsula

[Update #2]: Blizzard has now revealed the full Season 3 Roadmap, including a Dating Sim event!
[Update]: Overwatch 2's Season 3 will bring back the Workshop and complex Custom Games, while Season 4 will remove the unpopular Map Pools.
Unlike the first two seasons, Overwatch 2's big Season 3 update won't bring with it a brand new character to play around with. Instead, Blizzard is aiming to release a sizable balance patch alongside some long-requested quality-of-life improvements and, most importantly, a chilly new map called Antarctic Peninsula!
Just like all of the other Control maps, Antarctic Peninsula will actually be three maps in one! As such, you can look forward to saying hello to the penguins outside of the research base itself, messing up all of the sensitive equipment in the industrial part, and even exploring the actual science labs. What all of this looks like in action, that you can get a little sneak peek at through the Twitter teaser.
PC version of The Last of Us Part I has been pushed back a few weeks, to March 28th, 2023

[Update]: The PC version of The Last of Us Part I has now arrived, though sadly alongside a bunch of technical trouble.
If the excellent TV show has gotten you ready and raring to dive into the upcoming PC version of The Last of Us Part I, I'm afraid I have a small bit of bad news to share. Instead of launching in early March as previously expected, The Last of Us Part I will instead be arriving on March 28th, 2023.
"We want to make sure that The Last of Us Part 1 PC debut is in the best shape possible," reads the brief developer update. "These additional few weeks will allow us to ensure this version of The Last of Us Part I lives up to your, and our, standards."
World War Z update has added Horde Mode XL with an absurd amount of zombies, along with better weapon progression

Despite releasing all the way back in 2019, the co-op focused shooter World War Z has just recently unleashed a sizable new update. The definite highlight is the new Horde Mode XL that will pit you (and potentially a couple of friends) against a frankly ridiculous amount of zombies - over 1000 at a time!
The good news doesn't end there, however, as World War Z has also taken this opportunity to spruce up the Horde Mode with a new mutator system. As the name might suggest, these mutators will shake up the usual gameplay formula by having you face off against different types of challenges each time, including beefed up versions of special zombies.
Apex Legends studio's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has just been pushed back to August 28th, 2023

[Update]: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has now landed onto PC, though unfortunately alongside some dreadful performance problems.
If you were hoping to get your hands on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this March 17th, I'm afraid I have a bit of bad news. In order to ensure the game launches in as polished and complete of a state as possible, Respawn has now decided to push back Jedi: Survivor's release date to April 28th, 2023.
"Jedi: Survivor is a direct response to the feedback from our community, delivering expansive destinations to explore, evolved combat and traversal, and of course, the continuation of Cal and BD's story," reads the brief announcement. "Making this game has truly made us a better team, and we have pushed ourselves at every level to make this the Star Wars sequel our fans expect from Respawn and Lucasfilm Games."
