Overwatch teaser for either a brand new Lunar Horizon Map or a Hammond hero

The Overwatch Anniversary Update arrived only a week ago with a whole bunch of cosmetics and dance emotes to mess around with, but it would appear that is not all we will be seeing this anniversary. As is tradition when revealing something new, Blizzard has just posted an incredibly enticing image onto their official Twitter, and then conveniently left out all of the important information.

As you can see on the image above, the Overwatch devs are clearly teasing more details about the fate of the Horizon Lunar Colony. From what we know so far the Moon colony was used to conduct extensive genetic modifications on gorillas with the intent to make them more intelligent, as seen in Winston. However, due to an event that have very little details about, the gorillas staged a rebellion and either killed or threw out all of the humans, leaving the Horizon Lunar Colony currently occupied only by sentient, super-intelligent gorillas.

Master Raven from Tekken 7 screenshot

Tekken 7 is set to arrive in the very near future for both PC and consoles, on June 2nd to be specific. With the launch date just around the corner the developers have begun releasing a whole bunch of videos showcasing the various characters in action, six per each video.

As you can probably guess from the title alone today's video is showing off Yoshimitsu, Sergei Dragunov, and Master Raven, but also Leo, Asuka Kazama, and Lili. So if you're interested in seeing what your favorites look and play like in Tekken 7 you'll find the character trailer #4 right below. Have a look:

Dota 2's Tinker repairing his armor

With The International prize pool constantly growing and the grand tournament just around the corner Valve is constantly releasing minor updates in order to get Dota 2's balance as perfectly adjusted as possible before the carnage begins. One such update has been released earlier late last night, bringing with it a bunch of small, but rather meaningful hero and item changes.

Blademail is no longer affected by spell amplification, Solar Crest has been slightly reworked, Clinkz and Shadow Demon buffed up, and the list goes on. If you're interested in all of the details you'll find the patch notes right below, but if you don't really care about the specifics feel free to just continue playing as normal as none of these changes will affect your playstyle. Anyway, here's the list:

Savage: Road to Darkness screenshot from the trailer

Savage: Road to Darkness is a newly announced action-adventure with a very simple premise. You are an extremely pissed off lizard, apparently spawned out of pure hatred, and your goal is to unleash your unbridled wrath upon everything and anything that stands before you. Along the way you will need to swim, climb, explore, and puzzle your way across a variety of landscape - more or less everything you've come to expect from the action-adventure genre.

You can check out what Savage: Road to Darkness looks like via the recently posted trailer right below, but do keep in mind that all of this is early footage. The reason I'm saying this is because the gameplay appears to have some framerate issues, so even though the artstyle is great, the actual presentation is a bit choppy. Thankfully the framerate is definitely the easier of the two to fix, so expect to see these problems gone in the future. But enough babbling from me, here's the announcement video:

Darksiders 3 official artwork showing Fury

Despite the somewhat disappointing Darksiders 2 I am very glad to say that Darksiders 3 has recently been announced and already pinned for a 2018 release! As you might expect, we will not be playing with either War or Death, but rather one of the other four horseman of the apocalypse. This time around we will be joining Fury in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to bring balanced to the now completely ravaged and 'human-less' Earth.

One of the benefits of being slightly late with this announcement is that the developers have by now shared a rather considerable amount of early gameplay with IGN. So if you're interested in seeing what Fury looks like in action you'll find the video right below. Just bear in mind that this is early alpha gameplay! That said, here's the video:

Overkill's The Walking Dead official logo

For those of you that might not be aware, and I wouldn't blame you if you weren't, Payday developer Overkill Software announced their The Walking Dead themed FPS all the way back in the ancient times of 2014. Ever since then the project's release date has been constantly pushed back, and the game itself pretty much forgotten by the general public.

As such, you might actually be surprised to hear that Overkill's The Walking Dead has been postponed once more, this time to the second half of 2018. I'm honestly impressed the game is even still in development given its history, but I guess Starbreeze and Overkill have a lot of faith in it. As is tradition the announcement brought with it no information about the game itself, but if nothing else we at least know that its still in the works!

PC version of Vanquish screenshot

The PC version of Vanquish is by all accounts a great port, but it does suffer from a couple of issues. Much like the majority of games that were never designed for uncapped frame rates, Vanquish starts getting a little bit weird at higher FPS. In gameplay terms this means that some players have drastically reduced health regeneration, while at the same time a much smaller invincibility window, which as you would expect makes the game ridiculously hard in all the wrong ways.

Thankfully, there is a beta patch available. There is currently a holiday in the UK so the developers didn't have time to thoroughly test it, but if you're suffering from these types of issues you might as well check it out given that the reception is so far extremely positive. As for what exactly the patch changes, here's the full list:
