Far Cry 5 is set to arrive this March 27th for both PC and consoles, bringing with it a larger world and a whole host of visual improvements over Far Cry 4. As such, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the recently revealed PC system requirements are a bit steeper than usual, though I do imagine you could probably skirt on by with something lower as long as you are willing to fiddle with the graphics options.
Besides the simple "minimum" and "recommended" PC system requirements you'll find below, Ubisoft has also revealed the type of hardware you'll need if you plan on playing Far Cry 5 in 4K resolution. Here's the full list:
Steam will be holding a Lunar New Year sale from February 15th to 19th

If you're looking to fill out your backlog and you've somehow managed to avoid the dozens of sales that happened during these past few weeks, you're in luck as a brand new Steam sale is just around the corner. According to SteamDB who have managed to get their information through Steam Direct, the next Steam sale will run from February 15th to 19th in order to coincide with the Lunar New Year festivities.
Naturally, none of this has been officially confirmed just yet, but SteamDB has been pretty damn accurate in the past, so given that their source is Steam itself odds are they are going to be correct on this one as well. Besides, it makes a lot of sense for Valve to release a massive sale during a holiday where it's customary for people to give children and young adults money.

After spending quite a while on the PTR, the much-anticipated Blizzard World map has now finally arrived onto the live servers. As expected, it also brought with it a variety of Blizzard themed cosmetics, as well as a couple of extra ones that were only announced during the last few days.
But first things first, if you're wondering what exactly Blizzard World looks like, you'll find one of the original trailers right below. It won't show you a detailed overview of the whole map and the various routes it houses, but it should be enough to give you a general idea of what to expect. Have a look:

With most Final Fantasy games already on PC, and Final Fantasy XV coming in the near future, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the remastered version of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age will arrive soon as well. In terms of content the PC version will bring with it support for ultra-wide monitors and 60 FPS, new game plus and minus game modes, the ability to shift between the various soundtracks at will, full controller support, as well as the usual slue of Steam-related features.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in-game, wonder no more as the developers have recently posted a fairly lengthy trailer. There isn't much actual gameplay on display, but you should still get a general idea of what Final Fantasy XII is all about. Have a look:

The console versions of Monster Hunter: World are set to arrive in the very near future, on January 26th to be specific. As for the PC version, it has just recently been announced that it will be coming at some point this autumn. It's going to be a rather lengthy wait, but on the positive side it does also mean the developers are prepared to take as long as necessary in order to make all of the dragon hunting as compelling as possible on the PC version.
And speaking of dragons, you might be interested to hear that the developers have recently posted a brief preview video showing off the various Elder Dragons in action. On a slightly more grounded note, it's also worth mentioning that the very first free content update in spring will bring with it the 'fan-favorite' and rather angry Deviljho. But for now, here's the video showing off the Elder Dragons:
Dark Souls Remastered will be coming this May with improved graphics and performance

The original Dark Souls is without a single doubt my favorite game of all time. It has its flaws and it's obvious the final portions of the game were rushed in order to meet the release date, but the world and its characters are so interesting and peculiar that I think they're going to be stuck in my head forever.
With that in mind, I hope you can now understand just how happy I am to say that Dark Souls will be getting a Remastered Edition! While it doesn't appear that Dark Souls Remastered will bring with it anything other than improvements to graphics and performance, it's still going to be worth checking out given that it'll release on every platform, including the portable Nintendo Switch!

[Update]: Dragon Ball FighterZ's most likely final update will add the much-requested rollback netcode.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is an upcoming 2.5D fighting game from Arc System Works, the developers most famous for their work on the Blaz Blue and Guilty Gear series of fighting games. As you're probably aware at this point, the goal behind Dragon Ball FighterZ is to bring the gameplay and visuals as close as possible to the show itself, something the developers have managed to do quite admirably.
If you need a bit of proof, or just a closer look at Dragon Ball FighterZ in action, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. It's not a very long one, but it gets the point across. Have a look:
