If you hate free time and love to have an abnormal sleep schedule, you'll be glad to hear that the Stardock themed Humble Bundle has now arrived. As you might imagine given Stardock's involvement, the bundle is filled to the brim with all sorts of strategy and management games, everything from the excellent Sins of Solar Empire: Rebellion to the somewhat flawed Offworld Trading Company.

The bundle features a couple of games less than what is considered 'standard' at this point, but given their length and replayability I don't think that's going to be too big of a deal. And speaking of the games, here's the full list of them, as well as the tier they appear in:

Halloween Terror event screenshot featuring Vampire Reaper and Witch Hunter McCree cosmetics

As is tradition with pretty much every major Overwatch update, the arrival date for the upcoming Halloween Terror event was leaked multiple times. Even so, I am very happy to say that Blizzard has now officially confirmed that the second annual Halloween event will be coming on October 10th!

While the details are still shrouded in mystery, you can expect to see all of the previous Halloween items make a return at a discounted price, but also a whole bunch of new items including the Vampire Reaper and Vampire Hunter McCree. Furthermore, if the recent datamining is to be believed there will also be new items for Ana, Hanzo, Genji, and D.Va, though what exactly those items are, I'm afraid nobody outside of Blizzard knows right now.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar screenshot of a battlefield and a swordsman

Battle Chasers: Nightwar, despite sounding like one of the most generic games in all of existence, is a rather intriguing turn-based RPG inspired by oldschool console classics. As you might imagine given the genre, you'll spend a lot of your time wondering through dungeons filled with traps, puzzles and loot, building and advancing your very own adventuring party, and naturally, following what appears to be a rich and detailed story.

While the recently posted animated intro wont really tell you much about the gameplay, I would still recommend you give it a glance as it offers a pretty damn good look at the styles and themes Battle Chasers: Nightwar is going for. Have a look, its a rather visually interesting video:

Fortnite screenshot of a sniper from the Battle Royale game mode

Despite its Steam reviews going up and down like a yo-yo, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one of the most popular PC games out there, so popular in fact that it has twice the playerbase of both CS:GO and Dota 2! Given these rather ridiculous stats it was only a matter of time before competition started appearing, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that Epic has now added a Battle Royale mode to their action-building game Fortnite.

What might come as a bit of a surprise, however, is the simple fact that Fortnite's Battle Royale game mode is free-to-play! So if you ever wanted to give the genre a try, but you didn't feel like buying into an Early Access game to do so, you now have a chance to see what its all about. Simply head over to the official website and you'll find links to both the PC and console versions of the Battle Royale game mode.

Resident Evil 7's free "Not a Hero" DLC official artwork

After being delayed due to quality concerns, Resident Evil 7's "Not a Hero" DLC will be coming this December 12th alongside the Gold Edition. Most importantly, it will be entirely free for all owners of the game, regardless of edition or time of purchase!

As for the content, Not a Hero will take place after the events of Resident Evil 7 and will follow the boulder-punching Chris Redfield as he blasts apart hordes upon hordes of mutated monstrosities. We'll be able to explore both new and familiar locations, fight against a variety of new and previously unseen enemies, and naturally, try to solve yet another mysterious outbreak in the middle of nowhere!

Total War: Warhammer 2 screenshot of Malekith the Witch King in action

If you've ever gotten invested into a Total War game you probably know just how important mods are in keeping the whole experience fresh and interesting. With mods you can add new units, new starting positions, new factions, a complete balance overhaul, a variety of new battle maps so you're not just fighting in an open field every time, and the list goes on for a while. There really is a mod for everything, no matter how obscure and potentially silly the idea might be.

In order to detect potential flaws and balance problems Total War: Warhammer 2 sadly launched without Steam Workshop support, though thankfully it still allowed players to plug in their mods manually. However, that whole process requires actually finding the mods in the first place, which is not always the easiest thing for new players. As such, I am very glad to say that Steam Workshop support will be going online this Thursday!

Star Wars Battlefront 2 screenshot of Droids vs Clone Troopers

Star Wars Battlefront 2 will be coming to PC and consoles this November 17th, bringing with it far more content than its predecessor. There will be a lot more maps to explore and demolish, an equally large variety of weapons and vehicles spread across the various Star Wars time periods, a space-based combat mode with its own ships and gameplay systems, and naturally, a whole new batch of heroes and villains to toy around with.

If you would like to give all of this content a try, without spending €60 for the honor, you'll be glad to hear that the Open Beta is set to begin later this week. Those of you that have pre-ordered Battlefront 2 will be able to get in on October 4th, while everyone else will be able to hop in on October 6th. The Open Beta will last until October 9th, so you should have plenty of time to see what Battlefront 2 is all about, and more importantly, whether its worth your time and money.
