XCOM 2: War of the Chosen screenshot of the Templar with a psi-blade

XCOM 2's War of the Chosen expansion aims to greatly improve upon the original, while also adding a bunch of new storylines, enemies, and factions to deal with. Perhaps the most interesting of these newly announced factions are the Templars - powerful psionic warriors that are capable of decimating entire armies if they are given enough time to prepare. In many ways they are the human equivalent of a Protoss Zealot, and yes, this includes the awesome psi-blades!

If you're wondering what the Templars might look like, and more importantly, what sort of abilities they'll be able to bring to the battlefield, you'll find what you seek in the recently posted teaser trailer right below. Have a look, they're quite interesting:

Titanfall 2 screenshot of Frontier Defense

The pace at which Respawn is releasing new content for Titanfall 2 is quite frankly ridiculous. It has been less than a month since Titanfall 2 got updated with two new maps and a third weapon slot for Pilots, and already we're getting a brand new PvE game mode, as well as an additional two maps!

Frontier Defense will be a co-op 4 player game mode that will require you to defend a Harvester against 5 waves of increasingly difficult enemies. As you mow down hordes upon hordes of baddies you will be earning cash which can be spent in between waves to purchase tools like Batteries, Arc Traps, Sentries, and more. As an added bonus, Frontier Defense will bring with it a new Titan Progression system - Aegis Ranks. These Aegis Ranks will be exclusive to Frontier Defense (for now anyway) and will offer you a variety of powerful upgrades to toy around with, upgrades you will need in order to succeed at the higher difficulty levels.

The Surge screenshot of a duel between titans

The Surge is a recently released sci-fi action RPG developed by the studio behind Lords of the Fallen. Much like its predecessor The Surge features tactical melee combat against enemies that can easily obliterate you, a variety of weapon choices and fighting styles, a sharp difficulty curve that will test your mettle from the very begining, as well as a relatively mixed critical reception.

Given all of the similarities with Dark Souls there is a good chance some genre fans will have an absolute blast with The Surge as well, but testing that hypothesis has not been exactly easy given that it requires you to first spend €50 on a game that seems to have divided the community 50/50. As such, I am very glad to say that the developers have now released a free playable demo onto Steam!

Doomfist talking about war from the Overwatch comic Masquerade

When it comes to Overwatch lore we know a lot of details about how all of the 'good guys' relate to each other, what their goals are, and how exactly they're organized. As for the villains, i.e. the Talon operatives, we know surprisingly little. Blizzard released a couple of hints and teasers over the past year, but despite seeing Reaper and Widowmaker show remorse for what they've become we know almost nothing about their plans.

This is where the recently posted Masquerade comic comes into the play. It not only showcases the Overwatch villains as actually competent agents, but it gives a good glimpse at the inner workings of Talon, and most importantly, their grand plan! So if you have even an inkling of interest in Overwatch I would definitely suggest you give the Masquerade comic a read.

The Evil Within 2 screenshot of a giant blue eye in the sky

In The Evil Within 2 you will be playing as Detective Sebastian Castellanos who is forced to partner up with the shadowy organization Mobius in order to save his daughter. Since this is a horror game we're talking about things quickly take a turn for the worst and the once simple mission swiftly descends into pure madness.

If you're wondering what kind of madness this might be, wonder no more as Bethesda has just posted a brief trailer showcasing both the story and some of the abominations we'll be fighting against in our search for the truth. Have a look, and don't worry about spoilers as all of the dialogue is about as ambiguous as it gets:

Hollow Knight official artwork without logo

Hollow Knight is a hand-drawn 2D action-adventure that will have you face off against hordes upon hordes of monsters as you journey through a vast and interconnected world. Its not the most casual or welcoming game for new players, but there is enough depth and complexity present to greatly reward those that push through the initial difficulty curve.

All of that will soon be getting amplified as Hollow Knight is preparing to receive its very first and very tricky content pack "Hidden Dreams". The update will bring with it two new bosses to fight against, each of which with their own storylines and music tracks, the Dream Gate that allows you to instantly travel from one corner of the kingdom to another, as well as a brand new Stag Station to uncover.

Hob game screenshot of some overgrown ruins

Hob is an exploration-focused adventure that will have you solve a variety of puzzles in between beating up all of the indigenous life forms with your giant robo-fist. Most interestingly of all, Hob will have an ever-changing world that you will have to twist and reshape in order to access new areas or just open up new pathways in previous ones.

If you're wondering how exactly one can change the very surface of a planet with the single flick of a button, wonder no more as the developers have released a brief preview of the rather ominously sounding World Machine. Have a look:
