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:
The VR focused shooter Killing Floor: Incursion is set to arrive in early November

Much like the main game, Killing Floor: Incursion is all about shooting, slicing, bludgeoning, or exploding your way through vast hordes of mutants. You can expect to see a five-stage campaign delving into the secrets behind Horzine and their relationship with the Zeds, an endless horde mode where you have to fight to your last breath, a variety of different weapons that range from axes to sniper rifles, and most importantly, the ability to play solo or in co-op.
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:

Call of Duty: WW2 is set to arrive this November 3rd for PC and consoles, a mere few days from the time of writing. So if you're wondering what sort of PC you'll need in order to even run it, as well as what extra features you can expect to see, wonder no more as the developers have now released all of the information.
The full list of features and imminent bug fixes is a bit too long to summarize, so if you're interested in an all of the details you should head on over to Steam. On the other hand, if you're just interested in the system requirements, you'll find them right below. Have a look:
Friday the 13th is soon getting a free new game mode called Paranoia
- By Ash

[Update]: Friday the 13th: The Game's very final update has now removed Dedicated Servers.
The asymmetric multiplayer murderfest Friday the 13th will soon be getting a brand new game mode by the name of Paranoia. I'm afraid the details are still shrouded in mystery, but what I can tell you is that the new game mode will come as an entirely free update in the very near future.
If you're willing to indulge a bit of speculation, however, I believe the new game mode will start with the killer masquerading as one of the camp counselors. So instead of constantly running away from the nigh invincible Jason Voorhees, the survivors will have to figure out which one of them is the killer and then act accordingly. It would certainly fit well with the "Paranoia" theme, and more importantly, it would be a fun scenario for both sides to play around with.
There is a small chance Crystal Dynamics is working on a Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver remaster

Crystal Dynamics, the studio that created the original Legacy of Kain games, recently released a simple but interesting tweet. Its just a high quality image for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver alongside a quote from the intro: "I am Raziel, first-born of His lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire."
This could mean absolutely nothing, but if Crystal Dynamics simply wanted to celebrate one of its older series they could've done so without the unnecessary mystery, as they have done for Gex: Enter the Gecko for example. Given the circumstances, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that a lot of people have since then latched on to the idea that Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is getting a proper remaster.
Dead by Daylight has recently added "A Nightmare on Elm Street" themed DLC

- in News
Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer horror game where one player gets to mess around as a monstrous killer, while four others have to try their very best to not become a colorful stain on the living room floor. After already adding a couple of classic horror characters such as Leatherface, the developers have now taken things to the next level by creating an entire DLC themed around "A Nightmare on Elm Street".
As you might imagine, the DLC allows you to hunt down the pesky survivors as Freddy Krueger himself. In order to do so you can pull survivors into the dream world where your power is the strongest, so if they don't manage to wake themselves up or find someone else to do it for them, their journey is going to meet a very sharp and bloody end. And if that wasn't horrifying enough, grabbing one survivor closes the exit gates for everyone, meaning the survivors will have to come and try to save their friend before they can actually leave. Not the most pleasant of situations.
Europa Universalis IV's Cradle of Civilization expansion is set to arrive mid-November

Continuing the tradition of releasing two expansions at the same time, Paradox has just announced that Europa Universalis IV's Cradle of Civilization DLC will be coming in mid-November alongside Crusader Kings 2's Jade Dragon. The upcoming expansion will bring with it a variety of improvements to the Middle East, including new mechanics and features related to government, trade policies and religion, as well as the ability to exploit a region in order to quickly gain some cash or manpower while essentially sabotaging its future.
If you would like to learn a little bit more, as well as see what all of these new mechanics might look like in-game, I'd recommend checking out the recent Feature Breakdown video. It's a little bit on the lengthy side, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect from the Cradle of Civilization expansion. Have a look:
