Symmetra's demon skin from the Overwatch Halloween Terror event

Overwatch's second annual Halloween Terror event is set to begin on October 10th, bringing with it a whole bunch of new cosmetics and an updated version of the Doctor Junkenstein event. And as is tradition with pretty much every single major Overwatch update, a lot of the upcoming cosmetics have now ended up being accidentally leaked. 

So if you're interested in seeing what the future will hold for Symmetra (pictured above), Zenyatta, Mei and Reaper, you'll find the images right below, courtesy of PfeiferWolf on Reddit who managed to get the screenshots in the first place. I'm afraid the images are not exactly amazing in terms of quality, but they'll do just fine as a small little preview of the Halloween event. Have a look:

Road Redemption screenshot of a duel on the highway

Road Redemption is an action-orientated racing game heavily inspired by the Sega Genesis classic Road Rash. As you might imagine given its influence, Road Redemption is less about racing and more about beating your opponents into a pulp with the business end of a massive pipe, or just your bare hands and feet if no weapons are available. Naturally, you still need to win the race in order to gain the best loot, but the way you approach each match is completely up to you.

You can get a good idea of what this looks and plays like in-game via the recently posted launch trailer down below. Its not a very long video, so if you're interested in the concept I would recommend you give it a watch:

Psychonauts 2 screenshot of the very first start game screen

[Update]: Six years after its big reveal, Psychonauts 2 has now finally been unleashed onto PC and consoles!

After raising an absolutely ridiculous $3.8 million through their Fig crowdfunding campaign Double Fine started the long and arduous process of bringing the much-anticipated Psychonauts 2 to life. While we're still nowhere near the final release date, you might be glad to hear that Double Fine has now successfully managed to create a playable build of the game! Its obviously unfinished and unpolished, but its still a massive achievement as a lot of the gameplay elements are now actually functional.

So if you're interested in some very early pre-alpha 'gameplay' you'll find the recently posted developer diary right below. I would highly recommend you give it a look, if only for the ability to peer behind the curtains of game development in order to see what exactly goes into the creation of a single game. Anyway, here's the video:

Assassin's Creed: Origins screenshot from the Sand cinematic trailer

With the release date of Assassin's Creed: Origins just around the corner, Ubisoft has now finally revealed the minimum and recommended PC system configurations. More importantly, Ubisoft took things a step further by also releasing a detailed list of PC-specific features and settings, their impact, and whether or not you can disable them.

There are far too many minute details for me to cover without boring most of you, so if you're interested in all of the PC specific settings I would recommend you head over to the Ubisoft website. If you're only interested in the PC system requirements, however, I'll post the full list down below. Have a look:

Screenshot of the new Blizzard Battle.net client

After what feels like an eternity of being strung around with empty promises Blizzard has finally done the unimaginable: added an "appear offline" option to their Battle.net client! So if you ever wanted to play World of Warcraft at ungodly hours of the night without being judged by your fellow sleepless friends, you now have the option to do just that.

Besides the new "appear offline" option, the latest Beta client has also brought with it a new social tab, the ability to form groups with common interests, as well as profiles and avatars to customize the whole experience. Groups and profiles are currently only available in the North American beta client, but everything else is fully online world-wide, so feel free to give it a look and offer Blizzard some much-needed feedback.

Warframe Plains of Eidolon expansion screenshot of the new Eidolon enemies

Warframe's upcoming Plains of Eidolon expansion will introduce the very first open-world zone, the aforementioned Plains of Eidolon. You can expect to see the usual batch of enemies such as the Grineer, but also a whole bunch new and absolutely enormous alien creatures known as the Eidolons. In order to take them down you will need to group up with your fellow players as they will present quite a challenge, but if organized play is not your thing there will also be bounties to collect, new items to craft, and quests to solve.

Besides all of the open-world content, the Plains of Eidolon expansion will also bring with it new weapons, cosmetics, crafting recipes, improvements to the Focus talent tree, as well as a brand new glass-based Warframe by the name of Gara, though she will be coming slightly after release. If you're wondering what all of this content might look like in-game, wonder no more as the developers have recently posted a lengthy gameplay preview. Have a look:

Abandon Ship screenshot of a Kraken attack

Abandon Ship is a singleplayer strategy/adventure game most similar in tone to FTL. You'll have to take command of a single ship and its crew in order to explore the high seas, do a variety of story quests, deal with random events that might just bring you to the brink of death, and naturally, fight against pirates and giant monstrosities that would love nothing more than to chomp on your ship.

While the previous trailer mostly focused on the combat, today's video is all about exploration and the risks that come with it. So if you're interested in seeing what sort of locations Abandon Ship will allow you to rummage through, you'll find the gameplay preview right below. Have a look, its quite an interesting video:
