Age of Empires: Definitive Edition official artwork and logo

Age of Empires: Definite Edition has been delayed a couple of times now, with the latest delay pushing its launch date from October 19th to a rather nebulous "early 2018". After all that waiting, delays, and even more waiting, I am now very glad to say that the developers have finally pinned down an official release date - February 20th!

The Definitive Edition will bring with it completely reworked visuals, the ability to play multiplayer online or via LAN, a re-recorded soundtrack alongside a brand new orchestral score, additional narration for every single mission, and perhaps most importantly of all, a greatly improved campaign and scenario editor! For something that's going to cost $20 I really don't think I can ask much more, provided the gameplay ends up being solid anyway.

Endless Space 2 official artwork for the Vaulters faction

During their recent 7th anniversary celebration Amplitude announced the very first paid DLC for Endless Space 2. The aptly named DLC will bring with it the most popular faction across the whole series, the Vaulters, as well as a couple of smaller features such as the Sisters of Mercy minor civilization, the ability to negotiate with pirates, and new exotic combat modules.

As with all of the other factions the Vaulters have their own introductory video, so if you're interested in learning a little bit more about their lore and customs you'll find what you seek right below. Have a look:

We Happy Few screenshot of shadowy police officers

We Happy Few is an action/survival game set in a retro-futuristic city whose inhabitants live in a drug-fueled state of happiness in order to escape the misery of the real world. It launched in Early Access way back in July of 2016, and if the latest announcement is any indicator it's going to remain in beta until summer.

As expected, the release date is being pushed back in order to give the developers enough time to polish all of the current and upcoming content, as well as create a proper story mode that will help flesh out the world and its characters. There aren't that many details available right now, but if you're interested in learning just a little bit more you'll find the latest developer video right below. Have a look:

Screenshot of three characters from Monster Hunter: World

The console versions of Monster Hunter: World are set to arrive in just a couple of days, 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 excruciating wait, that's for sure, but at least it seems that the developers are willing to take as long as necessary in order to make it a quality PC port.

So if you need something to tide you over, at least for a little while anyway, you'll be glad to hear that the developers have just recently posted a lengthy gameplay preview showing off the dark and gloomy Rotten Vale zone. Have a look:

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana artwork of the two characters

The PC version of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was supposed to arrive alongside the console versions in September, but was unfortunately delayed until December in order to give the developers enough time for polish and optimization. December has now come and gone, and while I would love to tell you something positive I'm afraid there are only bad news surrounding the PC version.

According to the latest update on Steam, the PC version of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana has been delayed once more due to technical problems. There is currently no new release date set, but if you're interested in learning what exactly is troubling the developers you'll find a few choice quotes right below:

Civilization VI screenshot of a sprawling city

The Humble Monthly Bundle is a $12 subscription service that instantly gives you access to one game, and then a whole bunch more once the next month rolls over. Back in December this 'one' game was a combination of Quantum Break, The Long Dark and Dawn of War 3, while this time around you're looking at the time-devouring champion Civilization VI and two of its DLCs (Australia and the Vikings Scenario Pack).

Civilization VI definitely has some problems, and I would even go as far as to say that it's slightly inferior when compared to Civilization V and all of its DLCs, but even so it's still a fun game and for $12 it's probably worth giving it a look. This goes doubly so when you consider there will also be a whole bunch of other games joining the party at some point in early February.

Fortnite Battle Royale screenshot of a sniper

After quite a few teasers and promises Epic has now finally released an update to Fortnite's Battle Royale map. The new version features a variety of different biomes that make each environment feel just a little bit different, new locations such as a city and an underground mine to explore and get splattered in, as well as numerous improvements and changes to the original areas.

If you're wondering what all of this might look like in-game, you'll find what you seek in the recently posted trailer down below. The video won't exactly give you a detailed overview of the new map, but it will at least show you what some of the new areas look like. Have a gander, it's a fairly short video:
