official artwork for The Elder Scrolls: Legends - The Fall of The Dark Brotherhood expansion

It has been almost an entire year since The Elder Scrolls: Legends was first revealed, and after many months and many updates it has now finally been officially released on the PC. If you're wondering if this release will be followed with some sort of account reset, worry not as pretty much nothing will change for existing players.

However, that doesn't mean the developers have no changes planned for the future. Besides the usual events, balance changes and bug fixes, The Elder Scrolls: Legends will also be getting a PvE expansion called The Fall of The Dark Brotherhood this April 5th. There will be numerous decisions to make throughout this story focused adventure, each of which will impact it's ending, and around 40 new cards to toy around with, including three new Legendary cards.

Styx: Shards of Darkness screenshot showing our main character sliding down a long rope

If you're a fan of oldschool stealth games you might want to pay attention to the upcoming Styx: Shards of Darkness. Its heavily inspired by the Thief series and it features the same sort of focus on open-ended levels, explorations, and an abundance of weapons and tools with which you can either dispatch or bypass anyone that stands in your way. But unlike the Thief series Styx: Shards of Darkness will also have co-op, which makes it one of the rare few stealth games to ever do so.

For those of you wishing to learn more, or just check out the visuals, you'll find the recently posted launch trailer down below. It doesn't feature much in terms of gameplay, but it should give you a brief glimpse at the story and Styx's personality. Have a look:

Hearthstone's Journey to Un'goro official artwork

During the recent announcement for the Journey to Un'Goro expansion Blizzard stated that they will soon start ramping up the amount of cards entering Hearhstone, essentially going from two to three large expansions each year. If you were worried this whole process would make Hearthstone far too expensive for you, I'm afraid I bring some bad news.

According to an official post on the European Hearthstone forums the prices for card packs, adventures, and arena entries will be going up on March 22nd. The current price for 2 card packs is €2,70 for the general EU audience, while under the new system it will be €3. Consequently, 60 packs will set you back €70 instead of €63. Things are a bit less pleasant for those of you that hail from the UK, however, because the price of 2 packs is going to increase by an entire pound, going from £2 to £3!

Away: Journey to the Unexpected screenshot of the big bad lava boss

Away: Journey to the Unexpected is a newly announced first person rogue-lite from the French indie studio Aurelien Regard. It features colorful and anime styled 3D environments, while the character themselves are seemingly well detailed and extremely expressive 2D sprites. I'm not sure whether I'm correct about that last part, but the important thing is that Away looks great in motion!

If you would like to see it for yourself you'll find the recently posted announcement trailer down below. Just bear in mind that all of the footage comes from an incredibly early version of the game, so expect to see numerous improvements between now and Away's 2017 release date. Anyway, here's the video:

Xenonauts 2 artwork showing the Psyon enemy type

As you can probably guess from the title Xenonauts 2 is an upcoming turn-based strategy game heavily inspired by the old XCOM series. What this means in gameplay terms is that you will have persistent soldiers that become stronger from mission to mission, fully-destructible environments that allow you to create your own cover, a variety of research and equipment options, as well as the same style of turn-based combat the XCOM series is by now famous for.

Xenonauts 2 is currently under heavy development, but if you would like to get a sneak peek and also help the developers out by giving some much needed feedback, you can do so by heading over to GOG. Just keep in mind that this is a pre-alpha demo we're talking about, so bugs and missing features are to be expected!

Prey screenshot showing the character morphing into a coffee cup

One of the first powers you'll learn in Prey is Mimic Matter, which does pretty much exactly as you would expect. Once properly leveled up you can use this power to transform yourself into mighty security turrets and operator robots, but also completely ridiculous things such as coffee mugs, teapots, or just a banana floating through the void of space!

If you're wondering what all of this madness looks like in gameplay terms, wonder no more as Bethesda has recently posted a video showcasing the various applications of the Mimic power up. Not many of these applications are very useful, mind you, but if nothing else they are at least hilarious! Have a look:

Official concept art from James Cameron's Avatar movie

Ubisoft has recently come out to announce that they are working on a brand new game for PC and consoles set in James Cameron's Avatar universe. What exactly inspired them to create a movie tie-in nearly eight years too late, I don't know, but if nothing else the Avatar universe certainly seems like an interesting place to roam around in.

Development will be headed by Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, a studio you might recognize for their work on The Division. While I didn't find The Division that amazing I am still glad Massive is behind the wheel, because when it comes to post-launch support and extra content they are one more dedicated studios under Ubisoft's banner.
