Enter the Gungeon's Advanced Gungeons & Draguns update will be coming in the near future

Enter the Gungeon developers have recently announced that they are working on a second major content update called Advanced Gungeons & Draguns. The mini-expansion will bring with it a bunch of community requested features, quality of life changes and general improvements, but also hundreds of new and substantially more powerful synergies, a variety of new guns and items, as well as a brand new boss.
The goal behind this update is to make the Gungeon a more generous place, while still preserving the same sort of punishing difficulty. In other words, the enemies will be just as powerful as they ever were, but you will a much greater degree of choice when it comes to viable weapons and tactics. This should hopefully prevent scenarios where you get stuck with an array of nearly worthless weapons against enemies that can easily bring you down.
Divinity: Original Sin 2's recent gameplay trailer gives a brief overview of the major features

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an upcoming turn-based RPG with the focus firmly placed on combat. There are a variety of elemental combos to preform, each with their own unsurprisingly devastating result, as well as a whole bunch of different spells and abilities to toy around with. Add to that 4-player co-op and you can easily see why Original Sin 2 currently has overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam despite still being in Early Access.
Since trying to describe gigantic fireballs through words alone is a bit of a silly venture, allow me to instead share with you one of the recent trailers. Its not very long, but it should give you a pretty damn good overview of what Divinity: Original Sin 2 brings to the table. Have a look:
Obsidian's Tyranny has now received its very first expansion - Bastard's Wound

I've mentioned this multiple times since my initial review for Tyranny, but the campaign ended in such an anticlimactic way that it was practically guaranteed Obsidian was planning to do an expansion or sequel of some sort. After quite a long wait the expansion has now finally arrived, hopefully bringing with it enough new story content to give the ending a proper conclusion.
I haven't played it myself, but according to Obsidian you can expect to see new companion quests and storylines involving Verse, Barik, and Lantry, a whole bunch of new features and expanded content for Tyranny's solely lacking end-game, and naturally, a brand new region to explore and potentially devastate. If you're wondering what all of this might look like in game, here's the recently posted launch trailer:
You have 5 more days to grab the "Humble Jumbo Bundle 9" starring Vermintide and Samorost 3

If your backlog is looking a bit empty, but you don't feel like spending a lot of money in order to fill it, I would highly recommend you check out the Humble Jumbo Bundle 9 before it goes away. The bundle features a variety of interesting games, the majority of which have great reviews on Steam, though I would say that Samorost 3 and Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide are worth the price of admission alone.
So if your interest is slightly piqued and you're now wondering what the bundle has to offer, allow me to share with you the list of games and the tier they appear in. Have a look:
Frostpunk is an upcoming city builder that will have you make difficult choices in order to survive

Frostpunk is an upcoming city building game set in a frozen wasteland where humanity has been driven to the brink of extinction. In order to survive you will need to create vast and interconnected cities with the help of steam-powered technology, make difficult moral choices with no clear answers and serious consequences, and pretty much do everything you can in order to keep your citizens alive, no matter the cost!
If you're wondering what all of this looks like in-game, and what the moral choices are even all about, you'll find what you seek in the recently posted gameplay trailer down below. Its not very long, but it does showcase Frostpunk's rather massive potential. Have a look:
The rather colorful cinematic trailer for Assassin's Creed Origins has recently been released
- By Ash

After the fairly mediocre Assassin's Creed Syndicate Ubisoft opted to take a rather lengthy hiatus from the series, all in an effort to come back with fresh new ideas and less terrifying bugs. The product of all that work, as you might imagine, is the recently announced Assassin's Creed Origins. It will bring with it a setting not often see in gaming, a somewhat realistic depiction of Ancient Egypt, as well as numerous gameplay improvements, the most important of which is the shift from 1-on-1 combat to a more tactical system that will reward stealth and positioning above all.
While the recently posted cinematic trailer won't show you any of the combat maneuvers, it will give you a pretty damn good look at the setting and the type of story Ubisoft is trying to tell. So if you're interested in Assassin's Creed, or just lovely artwork in general, I would recommend you give it a look. Here's the video:
Gwent's Thronebreaker expansion will be adding a lengthy and story-focused singleplayer campaign

CDPR recently announced that Gwent will soon be getting its very first major expansion. More importantly, however, they also revealed that the Thronebreaker expansion won't just be a simple influx of new cards, but rather a lengthy singleplayer campaign with a focus on storytelling! The details are still fairly vague, but if CDPR says we'll be getting some "thought-provoking" quests to embark on, I am inclined to believe them given the quality of The Witcher 3's expansions.
Similarly, not much is known about the story itself, but if you're interested in a brief teaser you can find the recently posted announcement video right below. I'll also include a short overview that came with the announcement, though I'm afraid you won't be finding out much in terms of details just yet. Anyway, have a look:
