If you ever wanted to give Paragon a try, Epic's action-orientated take on the MOBA genre, now would be the time to do so. In celebration of its one year anniversary the Paragon devs are giving out one of six Vault skins, and there is also a double XP event running which is a great opportunity to unlock emotes and master skins for your favorites.
As for the new hero, Yin is a carry that uses a combination of her whip and wind magic to dash in and out of combat, quickly demolishing her enemies. Here's a brief video showcasing what Yin is all about, and how you can best make use out of her abilities:
Mass Effect: Andromeda's fourth gameplay preview video is all about the multiplayer action

If you're a fan of Mass Effect 3's surprising good multiplayer you'll be glad to hear that Mass Effect 4 will not be deviating from the formula. Sure, there will be new classes, weapons, and upgrades to toy around with, but the basic premise remains the same. Its all about sticking together as a team, picking complementary skill-sets, and then using those to blast a whole bunch of enemies into oblivion.
You can find what all of this looks like in action through the fourth official preview video down below. Before you dive in, however, just keep in mind that this video showcases quite a few of Andromeda's enemies, so if you want to have a completely fresh experience you might want to avert your eyes. That little disclaimer aside, here's the video:
World of Warcraft's Update 7.2 will bring some much needed changes to the weakest Legendary items

Legion is perhaps the best expansion World of Warcraft has ever seen, but even so I must admit it has some major problems. The biggest and most annoying of these issues is the Legendary system given that its capable of either 'rewarding' you with straight up garbage or 10% more damage, all based on purely random chance.
Thankfully, this is no longer going to be the case in Update 7.2. According to the most recent PTR patch notes Blizzard has greatly increased the power level of almost all of the weakest legendaries, finally making them something more than a waste of space. You can find all of the details in the patch notes mentioned above, but if you want a brief example of what Blizzard is aiming for, here's the list of changes coming to all of the neutral and shared legendaries:
Dead Rising 4 has now finally arrived on Steam

After being available for quite a while now Dead Rising 4 has finally made its way to Steam as well. It brings with it 4-player co-op, a ridiculous amount of weapon and character customization, as well as an equally ridiculous amount of zombies to smack around with those weapons.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in action, wonder no more as Capcom has recently posted a brief teaser showcasing bits and pieces of Dead Rising 4 gameplay. Have a look:
Styx: Shards of Darkness is going to be DRM-free

With Styx: Shards of Darkness launching later today the developers have decided to release one final bit of good news before everyone gets their hands on it. According to an official reply on the Steam forums Styx: Shards of Darkness will be completely DRM-free, quashing any previous rumors of it using Denuvo for protection.
Given how Styx is only being released on Steam this doesn't mean you'll be able to share your copy with friends, or even play multiplayer with the same account, but it does mean you won't have to constantly be online or deal with any potential complications. All in all, its not a bad compromise given how much Steam's offline mode has evolved over the years.
Planet Coaster's free Spring Update will bring a bunch of new rides, but also pickpockets and vandals

After the extreme success of the Winter Update it appears that Planet Coaster devs are back with yet another content patch, though this time around with less holiday-centric rides. The upcoming Spring Update will bring with it three new rollercoasters, three new fully-customizable flatrides, and the unique "Speed" go-kart ride to thrill and torment your park guests. And as an added 'bonus' this update will also bring with it pickpockets and vandals who would love nothing more than to destroy your park. In order to deal with them you will need security guards and CCTV cameras, but deciding where and how many to place is going to be the tricky question!
Since the list of features is fairly brief, and also fairly self-explanatory, allow me to share with you everything that's coming with the Spring Update. Here's the list:
The isometric ARPG Victor Vran is getting a new expansion this spring - Fractured Worlds
- By Ash
- in News
Victor Vran is an isometric action-RPG that ended up being far better than anyone could've expected. It might not be in the same league as Path of Exile or Diablo 3, but it does bring with it some unique mechanics and more than enough charm to compensate.
Things are going to become even better in the near future as Victor Vran is getting a brand new expansion by the name of Fractured Worlds this spring. It will add an entirely new piece of the world to explore, four new dungeons that change on a daily basis, as well as The Fracture - an infinite dungeon offering new challenges and rewards for the most dedicated of players. You can also expect to see the level cap raised to 60, an additional Destiny Card slot to customize your hero, and a whole bunch of powerful Talismans you can use to alter both your appearance and combat capabilities!
You can check out what all of these new features look like in-game via the recently posted announcement trailer. Have a look:
