Doomfist will be coming to Overwatch next week, a new preview video has been released

Doomfist arrived on the Overwatch PTR a mere two weeks ago, but he has already managed to become one of my favorite heroes. There is just something incredibly satisfying about shattering walls with people's faces, leaping through the air like gravity doesn't exist, and basically playing a fighting game character within Overwatch. As such, I am very glad to say that Doomfist will be making his way to the live servers next Thursday, on July 27th!
Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but chances are high this update will also bring with it some much needed buffs to McCree, Reaper, Reinhardt, and most surprisingly of all, Zarya's ultimate. And if you want to take things even further, its also highly likely that July 27th will mark the start of the second Summer Games, which means a whole bunch of new skins and emotes to play around with!
The savage Norsca has been confirmed as Total War: Warhammer 2's early adopter bonus

It seems that Creative Assembly has really learned their lesson from the whole Chaos Warriors pre-order scandal. Instead of a pre-order bonus the newly revealed Norsca faction will be given for free to everyone who buys Total War: Warhammer 2 before or within the first week of launch, which is more than enough time for reviews to come in. Most importantly, Norsca will be coming to the original Total War: Warhammer on August 10th whether you own the DLC or not, so even if you're not planning on buying Total War: Warhammer 2 any time soon you'll still be able to beat up the savage northerners in singleplayer or multiplayer.
If you're not familiar with the Warhammer lore and you're currently wondering what Norsca is even all about, you'll find a rather good example in the recently posted teaser trailer. Give it a look if you're into demonic vikings:

The Capcom Humble Bundle hasn't even finished yet, and already we have brand new bundle with whole bunch of quality games. As you can probably guess from the title alone, today's Humble Bundle has arrived with a variety of Telltale adventure games, everything from the modern classics such as The Walking Dead to their oldschool stuff like Sam & Max.
While adventure games might be a bit niche, the Telltale bundle features a rather staggering amount of them, so even if you're on the fence about the genre you might want to give it a look anyway. Here are the games and the tier they appear in:
JackHammer is a newly announced fast-paced arena FPS starring killer-robots

JackHammer is a newly announced and fast-paced multiplayer shooter where all of the action takes place in rather small arenas. Instead of the usual cast of FPS characters the competitors in JackHammer are all fully customizable robots, which combined with the fact that its powered by Unreal Engine 4 should hopefully result in some extremely satisfying impacts with scrap and bits flying all over the place.
Since arena shooters tend to live and die by how enjoyable their action is, it would probably be a good idea for you to check out the recently posted teaser trailer. Oh, and I hope you like electronic music because that's all you're going to get with JackHammer! Have a look:
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon's main characters have been revealed alongside a new gameplay trailer

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon is Koei-Tecmo's upcoming action-RPG set in a demon-infested Western Europe somewhere in the 19th century. The story's focus will be on our three main characters, life-long friends that have suddenly found themselves on the opposite sides of a conflict that threatens to tear the entire world apart. And if that wasn't bad enough, our protagonist will quickly find herself succumbing to the demonic curse, which as you might imagine puts an even larger strain on the trio's relationship.
If this sort of storyline sounds like something you might be interested in, allow me to share with you all of the recently posted details. Its not much, but it should give you an idea of just what kind of RPG Nights of Azure 2 is trying to be. Have a look:
The roguelike bullet-hell Enter the Gungeon has now sold over one million copies

Enter the Gungeon is a bullet-hell roguelike with tons of cool weapons and simple controls that make it easy to learn, but also a surprising amount of depth and complexity that make it insanely hard to master. While I had my fill of Enter the Gungeon way quicker than I grew bored of The Binding of Isaac, it is still one of the best action-roguelikes I've played in quite a while.
As such, I am very happy to say that the developer Dodge Roll has now announced that Enter the Gungeon has gone platinum with over one million copies sold! For an indie game released in April of 2016 these are some pretty damn impressive numbers! They are likely to increase even further as Enter the Gungeon will soon be coming to the Nintendo Switch and also getting a bunch of new content, though what that content is and when it'll be ready I'm afraid the developers haven't announced just yet.
The miniatures strategy game Might & Magic Showdown will be shutting down this month

After being in Steam Early Access for less than half a year the miniatures strategy game Might & Magic Showdown will be shutting down later this month. While its always sad to see a game go, this might just be some sort of record as far as big studios are concerned.
Might & Magic Showdown has already been pulled from Steam, while the serves themselves will be shutting down on July 31st, 2017. Since Might & Magic Showdown is a PvP focused game this means that its going to be well and truly dead once the next month rolls around. Given the circumstances Ubisoft will be offering full refunds until July 31st, so do make sure to take them up on that offer.
