[Update]: The Legacy of the Moonspell expansion has now arrived, and so far it's looking like another solid content update!
After releasing an absurd amount of extra content through a variety of free updates, the Vampire Survivors team has now decided to take a crack at creating their very first paid expansion. Not to worry, however, as the freshly announced Legacy of the Moonspell DLC is going to be just as dirt cheap as the game itself - $2!
In terms of actual content, the Legacy of the Moonspell expansion will bring with it Mt. Moonspell as a massive (twenty-five times the size) new map with several different environments, eight new characters to unlock and mess around with, as well as thirteen new weapons to help you create even more monstrously overpowered builds. Naturally, there's also going to be a bunch of new music to jam out to - six new tracks to be specific!

After two years of Epic Games Store exclusivity, Ubisoft's Viking flavored open world action-adventure Assassin's Creed Valhalla has now landed onto Steam. More importantly, it has done so alongside a sizable discount which has brought the price down from €60 to €20.
This discount also extends to the various DLCs, so if you find yourself liking what Assassin's Creed Valhalla has to offer, consider giving those a try as well. Don't dawdle for too long, however, as the sale will be going away on January 5th.

[Update]: Explorer Anthology 2 and Alchemy: The Brother's War expansions have now arrived with staples and jank galore.
If you're tired of the current Standard meta and looking for something new and interesting to experiment with, you might be interested to hear that MTG Arena will be getting two mini-expansions on December 13th. However, instead of more Standard cards, the new additions will be launching for the Explorer and Alchemy formats.
Explorer Anthology 2, much like its predecessor, will bring with it 25 Explorer, Pioneer and Historic legal cards to mess around with. These include powerful format staples like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Fiery Impulse, as well as a bunch of fun jank like Sliver Hivelord and Kozilek, the Great Distortion. You can check out the full list of cards over at the official card gallery.
Dead Space inspired survival-horror The Callisto Protocol has now arrived alongside a somewhat mixed reception

[Update]: The Dead Space remake has now landed onto PC and consoles, and so far it's looking quite good!
If you're looking for something to help pass the time until the Dead Space remake lands onto PC and consoles this January 27th, you might want to give the freshly released The Callisto Protocol a look. To put it quite simply The Callisto Protocol is a sci-fi survival horror that's all about exploring claustrophobic environments, carefully managing your resources, and as you would expect given its inspiration, tearing mutated monstrosities apart limb from limb!
You can get a pretty good idea of what all of this looks like in action, as well as how closely The Callisto Protocol mirrors Dead Space, through the launch trailer below. Have a gander:
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is adding new weapons, private matches and crafting improvements on December 14th

[Update #2]: Darktide's likely final 2022 patch has fixed two major Psyker issues, a bunch of crashes, and temporarily removed player outlines.
[Update]: Patch 1.0.20 has now arrived, and while it's unfortunately a bit buggy, I'm happy to say that the new power mauls pack one hell of a punch!
As I've detailed throughout my review, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a downright brilliant game that still needs a fair bit of polish in order to truly shine. How long that process will take, that I'm afraid I have no idea, but I'm happy to say that Fatshark has already announced an update that's looking to fix some of the most common complaints.
Once it arrives this December 14th the update will add two new weapons for the Ogyrn to play around with: Indignatus Mk IVe Crusher and Achlys Mk I Power Maul. The exact details are still few and far between, but I can only imagine that the power maul will be a powerful yet slow one-handed weapon, while the appropriately titled crusher will likely be a gigantic hunk of metal for the Ogyrn to really flex his muscles with.

[Update #2]: Overwatch 2's Season 3 update won't add a new hero, but rather a new Control map - Antarctic Peninsula.
