Star Wars Battlefront 2 is set to arrive on PC and consoles this November 17th, bringing with it a much larger variety of content than its predecessor. There will be a whole bunch of different planets and maps to explore, a space-based combat mode with its own unique mechanics and ships, an arsenal of weapons and vehicles from the various Star Wars time periods, and perhaps most surprisingly of all, a singleplayer story focused around an Imperial commander.
While the recently posted launch trailer doesn't go into any details, it should still give you a brief glimpse at everything Star Wars Battlefront 2 has to offer. Have a look, its a fairly short and flashy video:
The atmospheric horror game Among the Sleep is getting an enhanced edition later this week

Among the Sleep is an indie horror game in which you play as a two year old child search for its mother in the middle of the night. In order to do so you will have to explore a highly atmospheric world where fantasy and reality often intertwine, as well as a solve a variety of puzzles in order to cross even the simplest of barriers, as you are after all a young child.
I personally didn't find it to be very scary, but the atmosphere was laid on so thick I simply couldn't stop playing until I was done with the relatively short campaign. As such, I am very glad to say that Among the Sleep will be getting an enhanced edition with improved visuals, smoother gameplay, new dialogue, a brand new level, as well as a variety of performance tweaks this November 2nd.

Monster Hunter: World will be coming to consoles this January 26th, while the release date for the PC version has not yet been revealed. On the positive side, the developers did say they will take as long as they need to in order to ensure that Monster Hunter: World ends up being a quality PC port.
So while we're stuck waiting for more information, allow me to share with you the recently posted Paris Games Week 2017 trailer. It doesn't feature anything new in terms of mechanics, but it will give you a pretty damn good look at a variety of different locations and monsters. Have a gander:

[Update]: Twelve years after the original, the PC version of Spelunky 2 has now been unleashed!
While it didn't invent the genre, Spelunky is one of the key games behind the growing popularity of roguelikes. There is just something special about its combination of punishing-but-fair difficulty, cutesy art style, randomized levels, and absolutely insane secrets that require both knowledge and skill in order to unveil.
With that in mind, I am very glad to say that Spelunky 2 has now been announced at the Paris Games Week 2017 convention! Unfortunately, there are currently no details available as it was only briefly mentioned before the main show, but I'm sure we'll get more information in the very near future.

Re:Legend is an adorable multiplayer RPG that combines monster raising with elements from life sim games, elements such as: farming, fishing, crafting, village building, and so forth. It was successfully Kickstarted back in August, and is now expected to arrive in June of 2018 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. However, as with all Kickstarter projects its important to keep in mind that delays can and will happen, so don't be too surprised if you hear about Re:Legend getting pushed back into late 2018.
As for the gameplay itself, what better way to demonstrate it than with a lengthy gameplay trailer! You can find the video right below, and I would recommend you give it a look as Re:Legend is quite the cutesy game:

Much like the main game, Killing Floor: Incursion is all about shooting, slicing, bludgeoning, or exploding your way through vast hordes of mutants.

If you're wondering what all of this might look like in-game, wonder no more as the developers have recently released a rather lengthy launch trailer. Have a gander, it should give you a pretty damn good idea of what to expect from Incursion:
