The Surge's A Walk in the Park expansion has now arrived alongside some twisted mascots

The Surge is a Dark Souls inspired sci-fi action-RPG developed by the studio behind Lords of the Fallen. As you would expect given their inspiration, The Surge features tactical and visceral combat against some truly dangerous enemies, a variety of unique weapons and armor pieces, and naturally, a bleak and depressing world.
However, while the developers have done an excellent job of making The Surge's world as unwelcoming as possible, there comes a point where one starts to yearn for even a bit of color to break up all of the monotony. As such, I am very glad to say that The Surge's very first expansion "A Walk in the Park" has now arrived with a whole bunch of new content set in an open and colorful environment - a twisted theme park! Rather than try and explain this, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. Have a look:
The PC version of The Escapists 2 has now been updated with the much-requested Map Editor

The Escapists 2, as you would imagine from the name alone, is a sandbox prison-escape game that will ask of you to brawl, sneak, craft, and potentially even explode your way out of some rather problematic situations. When it released back in August it came with a decent amount of pre-build maps, but no matter how good those maps may be, eventually the players will figure out all of the best tricks and the challenge will slowly dissipate.
If you're currently in this type of situation, or if you're just looking for new maps to play, you might be very glad to hear that the PC version of The Escapists 2 now has a fully fledged Map Editor! Here's the recently posted trailer showing it off in action:
Five Nights at Freddy's 6 has now suddenly appeared on Steam... and its completely free

Scott Cawthon, the creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, seems to be an endless source of surprises. Back in July he abruptly announced that the long-awaited Five Nights at Freddy's 6 has been officially canceled because he just got tired of working on the series. A completely understandable reason given how many games he released in a relatively short period of time.
Usually that would be the end of the story, but Scott Cawthon is not your usual developer, so instead he has now suddenly released Five Nights at Freddy's 6 onto Steam... completely free of charge! And since this is Five Nights at Freddy's we're talking about, even the game's launch is shrouded in a veil of mystery. What I mean by this is that Scott didn't simply release Five Nights at Freddy's 6, he released Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator that contains the actual game within it!
The developers behind the naval strategy/adventure game Abandon Ship have now released a surprisingly lengthy gameplay preview

Abandon ship is an upcoming naval strategy/adventure game that seems to embody the same ideas as FTL. You have to command a single ship and its crew in order to explore a massive and randomly generated world, solve a variety of quests while avoiding danger, fight off pirates and attempt to keep your crew alive throughout the whole ordeal, and naturally, try and avoid having your ship chomped on by gigantic monstrosities that inhabit the uncharted deeps.
Since words alone won't give you a 'proper' idea of what Abandon Ship is all about, I am very glad to say that the developers have now released an extremely lengthy gameplay preview. So if you have even a bit of interest in Abandon Ship, or games in this type of genre, I would highly recommend you give the video below a look. Have a gander:
Attack on Titan 2's release date has been announced alongside a new story trailer

As you might expect from the name alone, Attack on Titan 2 will be picking up directly after the original Attack on Titan game and will cover the show's second season. You can expect to see a variety of new characters (including a roster of playable Titans), better visuals, tweaked controls and dodging mechanics, as well as numerous other improvements to the gameplay and storytelling elements.
Speaking of which, you might be glad to hear that Koei Tecmo has now released an action-packed trailer showing off Attack on Titan 2's characters and story. Naturally, there are going to be spoilers throughout the whole video, so if you haven't watched the second season you might want to avert your eyes. For everyone else, here's the video:
Gwent's newest "Faction Challenge" community event pits Skellige against the Northern Realms, with the victor getting a premium Gold card

While most developers tend to use the holiday season to spread a message of love and kindness among their playerbase, CDPR has decided to take a little bit of a different route with Gwent. From today until December 11th Skellige and Northern Realms players are going to have to compete with each other in order to secure a fancy (and fairly expensive) premium Gold card: Madman Lugos and Dijkstra respectively.
The rules are fairly simple. You have to pick a side and win as many matches as you can with that faction. Whether you're playing in Ranked or Casual mode doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that you are securing victories as either Skellige or the Northern Realms. Once December 11th rolls around CDPR will count up all of the wins and grant the premium Gold card to those that have dedicated themselves to the winning faction, as well as a complementary 100 Meteorite Powder to those that have chosen... poorly.

Following the success of the Fall of the Dark Brotherhood story expansion, the developers behind The Elder Scrolls: Online have now unleashed another story-focused adventure. The Return to Clockwork City expansion brings with it more than 50 new cards to collect, 35 different missions spread across three chapters, two new mechanics and a new unit type, and naturally, a brand new storyline to explore.
As you might expect from the name alone, the campaign will allow you to face off against the steam-powered defenses of the long-abandoned Clockwork City, all in an effort to discover its secrets and plunder its riches. Along the way you'll be able to collect special cards that can be upgraded with variety of different powers, thus giving you the flexibility you need to complete all three story chapters. If you would like to learn a little bit more about this mechanic, or about the Clockwork City expansion itself, you should visit the official website.
