Mafia 3 has just recently been updated with its third and final piece of DLC - Sign of the Times. The DLC story is focused on a deranged and rather violent group of cultists called The Ensanglante, whose only goal seems to be to restore purity and order to New Bordeaux through a series of extremely gruesome rituals. As you might expect you will need to figure out how exactly the cult operates, why they have such a fanatical following, and most importantly, how you can stop them.
If you're interested in seeing what all of this might look like in-game, you should check out the newly posted launch trailer down below. Its not very long, but it does a good job of setting up the atmosphere:
The final LawBreakers Open Beta will be starting up tomorrow, July 28th

LawBreakers is a fast-paced arena shooter with an extremely casual relationship with physics and common sense. What this means in gameplay terms is that LawBreakers has some unique movement mechanics that allow you to zip around the battlefield at high speeds, as well as a variety of weapons to splatter other people as they attempt to do the same to you.
If this sounds like something you might enjoy, you should definitely check out the final Open Beta that will be starting up tomorrow. To be more specific, the Open Beta will begin this Friday at 7am PT / 10am ET / 4pm CEST / 12 AEST and end at the same time on Monday, July 31st. As you can plainly see the beta will not be up for a very long period of time, so if you're going to be diving in make sure to pre-load on Steam before the whole thing even begins.

There are many races in the Warhammer universe that revel in death and destruction, but none are as twisted and as cruel as the Dark Elves. Unsurprisingly, their monstrous entourage shares exactly the same 'qualities', though perhaps with even more brutality thrown into the mix for good measure.
Out of all these beasts the War Hydra is perhaps the most popular one, and as such Creative Assembly has just released a brief teaser video to showcase what exactly its capable of. So if you're interested in seeing some High Elves get torn to shreds, you'll find the video right below. Have a look:
Noita is a newly announced action roguelike where you can destroy absolutely everything

[Update]: Noita's snowy update has now added fifteen new spells to play around with, as well as a bunch of other content. Long story short, Noita's Early Access stay is going pretty well so far!
Noita is a newly announced and procedurally generated roguelike set in a world where each and every single pixel is physically simulated. What this means is that you will not only be able to bash, melt, and explode your way through the world itself, but also create hazards in the environment to obliterate your enemies with.
Since trying to explain this through words alone is quite a challenge, allow me to share with you the recently posted reveal trailer. Its not very long, but it is definitely worth checking out given the concept alone. Have a look:
Blizzard has revealed some of the Junkrat balance changes they are currently tinkering with

While the Overwatch team seems to be stumbling through the dark in search of ways to make Roadhog both balanced and enjoyable, the newly announced Junkrat buffs are exactly the opposite. Not only will these new changes make him a better and more viable hero outside of the lower ranks, but they will also raise his skill-ceiling and enjoyment factor by a considerable margin as well!
The details are still incredibly vague, but according to Principal Designer Geoff Goodman Junkrat might be getting 2 charges on his Concussion Mine, and yes, this will allow him to triple jump to ridiculous heights! Chances are the Concussion Mine damage will need to be nerfed in order to compensate for this, but that is a small price to pay for greatly increased mobility and more consistent damage. It might not sound impressive right now, but when you're being harassed by a pesky Genji or Tracer that extra Concussion Mine is going to be exactly the sort of thing you need to either secure a kill or just blast away like Team Rocket!

Deep Silver Volition is currently preparing for the release of their latest open-world action game Agents of Mayhem, and in order to get people excited they have partnered up with Humble to create a Saints Row themed Humble Bundle.

You can obviously find all of the Saints Row games in the bundle, but there's also Homefront, Risen 3, Mighty No. 9, Killer is Dead, and so forth. You can find all of the details, including the tier at which each game appears, right below. Here's the full list:
The Overwatch Reporting & Penalty system has now been greatly improved

If you've been playing Overwatch for any length of time you've most likely encountered people who are just sitting at spawn in competitive, walling off teammates with Mei, and just being a completely disruptive nuisance in general. Like most people you've probably tried reporting them in the hope that Blizzard will sort them out, but unfortunately the report system was almost entirely meaningless and without any sort of bite... until now!
According to a recent update by Community Manager Lylirra the Overwatch Reporting & Penalty system has been greatly improved and is now going to dish out rightful punishment for any abusive behavior, harassment, in-game spam, intentional inactivity and griefing! The whole post is short but sweet, so here it is:
