Rocket League will soon be getting yet another free new game mode. The rather aptly named Dropshot will arrive as a part of a free update on March 22nd and bring with it a brand new take on Rocket League's gameplay. Instead of trying to push the ball into your opponent's goal your objective will be to smash the opposing team's floor, and then score goals through the newly created gaps.
If you're not sure what exactly all of this entails, worry not as the developers have released a brief preview video showcasing what exactly Dropshot is all about. Have a look:

We have truly reached a new era in gaming. Not only are we getting remastered versions of popular old games, but soon we will getting a remastered version of a DLC pack as well! And naturally, with modern times come modern prices, so the DLC that once cost $10 will now be $15!
If you haven't figured it out from the title already I am talking about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered's Variety Map Pack. It essentially brings with it four 'new' multiplayer maps in the form of Broadcast, Chinatown, Creek, and Killhouse, as well as 10 rare supply drops to justify the price hike. For those of you wondering what the remastered versions of these maps look like, here's a very brief glimpse from the most recent teaser trailer:
Quake Champions has a new video showcasing the surprisingly bloodless Blood Covenant arena

Quake Champions is an upcoming PC exclusive arena shooter designed to be as close to the FPS classics as possible. It features fast-paced combat, a variety of ridiculously powerful weapons you'll need to pick up yourself, advanced movement mechanics such as rocket-jumping, and pretty much everything you might remember from Quake 3: Arena.
If you're interested in seeing all of this in action, but also checking out the newly revealed Blood Covenant arena, you'll find the brief teaser down below. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more gameplay orientated video you'll find what you see over here. But for now, here's Blood Covenant in all of its bloodless glory:
Bill from Left 4 Dead has been added to Dead by Daylight as a free piece of DLC

For those of you that haven't played all of Left 4 Dead 2's campaigns let's just say that Bill was left in a rather... uncomfortable situation during one of the final ones. He went on a one-man suicide mission through hordes upon hordes of zombies, all in an effort to power a generator and lift the bridge in order to save the lives of his fellow survives. While it was heavily implied Bill's death was never shown, which led many to speculate that this wasn't the last time we're going to be seeing the jaded veteran in action.
As it turns out those people were completely correct, because according to Dead by Daylight's latest trailer Bill not only survived, but he killed every single zombie in the entire area! Unfortunately for Bill he left the frying pan in order to leap directly into the fire, as you'll see in the character spotlight trailer down below. Have a look:
Chivalry devs have released a lengthy gameplay preview for Mirage: Arcane Warfare

In the most basic terms Mirage: Arcane Warfare is a spiritual successor to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. The big difference, as you can probably imagine from the name alone, is that Mirage features a far greater focus on spellcasting and unique character abilities over random screaming and weapon twirling.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in action, wonder no more as the developers have released a rather lengthy gameplay preview showcasing all of the classes in action. Just do keep in mind that the footage you're watching is from an alpha build, so things are hopefully going to become much smoother once we get to release. Anyway, here's the video:
Duelyst will be getting its third expansion Ancient Bonds on March 15th

[Update]: Unfortunately, Duelyst will be closing down its doors on February 27, 2020.
If you're unfamiliar with Duelyst its basically a hybrid between a card game and a turn-based strategy, though the emphasis is most definitely on the CCG aspects of gameplay. And since this is a card game we're talking about there is no better thing than a whole bunch of new cards, which is why I'm glad to say that Duelyst will be getting its third expansion Ancient Bonds on March 15th.
Ancient Bonds will bring with it 39 new cards to toy around with, a new keyword by the name of Bond, as well as a lot of synergies with previous cards. If you're interested in a sneak peak at some of these upcoming cards you'll find all of the currently announced ones over at the official website.

If you're a fan of Samurai and the legends that surround them you might want to keep an eye on the newly announced Tale of Ronin. While there isn't much information available right now, I can tell you that Tale of Ronin will be a hand-painted RPG set in a dynamic world where you will need to forge your own destiny as a free Ronin, or in other words a Samurai without a master.
Since so much of Tale of Ronin hinges on the presentation it would probably be for the best you first check out the announcement trailer. There isn't much in terms of actual gameplay, but just seeing the art style should be enough to pique your interest. Have a look:
