[Update]: BioWare is working on a new Mass Effect game and Remastering the original trilogy!
Mass Effect: Andromeda launched with a wide variety of problems that quickly gave rise to an equally vast amounts of complaints from critics and players alike. While the developers did try to fix some of the most egregious issues, there was simply no way to get around the stilted animations and atrocious writing. A real shame since the original Mass Effect trilogy was such a joy to play, despite the somewhat disappointing ending.
Speaking of disappointment, I'm saddened to say that Mass Effect: Andromeda has just managed to reach rock bottom. According to the most recent announcement Mass Effect: Andromeda will be getting no more singleplayer updates or additional story content, even though there are gigantic cliffhangers and nasty bugs present all throughout the game. For those of you interested in finding out what happened with the Quarian Ark or other such unresolved mysteries, I'm afraid you're going to have to shuffle through the upcoming comics and novels to get any sort of closure.

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is a 3D action-RPG with some beat'em up elements thrown in just for good measure. While it will feature a lot of the same characters from the series The Chamber of Time will be its own self-contained storyline, so according to Bandai Namco it should be welcoming to both new players and seasoned fans alike.
If you're wondering whether that's the case, or what the standalone narrative is going to be all about, you might want to check out the recently posted "Life at Luna Lova" story trailer. Have a look, its surprisingly faithful to the show:

City of Brass is a challenging first-person roguelike themed after the Arabian Nights. In other words, you will be spending most of your time looking for treasure, exploring opulent cities and derelict ruins, fighting against a variety of mythological creatures, and naturally, trying your damnest to not die a brutal and disappointing death.
While its not yet ready for release, you can get an idea of what City of Brass is going to look and play like via the recently posted gameplay trailer down below. Its sadly not very long, but it should suffice for now. Have a look:
Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition is coming this September with a new expansion and all of the DLC neatly bundled

For those of you that might not be aware, Blood Bowl 2 is essentially an insane combination of American football and Warhammer brutality. What this means in gameplay terms is that each match features about as many murders and dismemberments as it does touchdowns, though with half the 'athletes' being bloodthirsty Orks and Chaos abominations this really shouldn't come as too big of a surprise.
After already releasing a variety of DLC factions, Blood Bowl 2 developers have now announced not only a brand new expansion, but also a new Legendary Edition that will come with absolutely all of the content neatly bundled. If you need a quick overview of what exactly that content even is, you'll find what you seek in the most recent developer video. Have a look:

With the modern Planet of the Apes movies becoming more and more popular it was only a matter of time before someone decided to make a tie-in game. Thankfully, instead of a dreadfully generic third-person action game the newly announced Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is a Telltale-esque adventure that seems to be quite faithful to the source material.
Since trying to explain these types of games through words alone is not the easiest of tasks, allow me to share with you the recently posted gameplay video. Its decently lengthy, and with pretty much all of the gameplay mechanics on display it should give you a good idea of whether Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is something you'd be interested in.

Blizzard has announced a variety of massive balance changes and unit reworks for Starcraft 2

While Starcraft 2's balance is currently in a fairly nice place, there is a bit of a problem with certain tactics and units being far superior than their counterparts which tends makes matches predictable, and consequently boring for the average player. In an effort to fix this, and also make Starcraft 2 much more exciting to play, Blizzard has just announced a variety of massive balance changes and unit reworks.
The amount of minerals present in each base has been slightly increased in order to give players the ability to mount a comeback, numerous units and abilities have been completely redesigned, the obnoxious Widow Mines have been made easier to clean up when unattended, the Protoss Mothership Core has been entirely removed, and the list goes on for quite a while. There are simply far too many changes for me to summarize, so if you're interested in all of the details you should head over to the Starcraft 2 website.
