Continuing on with the remarkably fast pace of releasing new characters, the MultiVersus team has now unleashed Black Adam. So far it looks like Black Adam is an incredibly powerful bruiser that can dish out an immense amount of damage, though that power is kept in check by his slow and cumbersome attacks. As such, if you're planning to start playing as Black Adam, do be prepared to overcome a bit of a learning curve.
What Black Adam looks like in action, however, that you can check out through the freshly posted gameplay trailer. Have a gander:

[Update #2]: All of MTG Arena's upcoming Explorer Anthology 2 and Alchemy: The Brother's War cards have now been revealed.
[Update]: MTG Arena's The Brothers' War expansion has now arrived with a ton of new and retro artifacts in tow.
Once it arrives this November 15th, MTG Arena's latest Standard expansion The Brothers' War will bring with it a whole host of new cards to play around with. Given that the entire set is focused around the great war between Urza and Mishra, it should come as little surprise to hear that the vast majority of the cards will be either artifacts or spells that work around them in some way.
When it comes to the set mechanics, there will be four major ones to keep an eye out out for. Here's a brief rundown of what each one of them does:

[Update]: Apex Legends' Spellbound update is bringing back Control, buffing the Sentinel and adding a bunch of new cosmetics.
A brand new Apex Legends season has just arrived, and as is tradition, it has brought with it a whole bunch of new toys to play around with. First and foremost, Season 15 - Eclipse has added a brand new Legend by the name of Catalyst. She is capable of manipulating ferrofluids in order to create environmental hazards, seal off doors and even erect a massive wall of goop that can split the battlefield in half and blind anyone foolish enough to try to push through it.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, allow me to share with you Catalyst's character trailer. It should clue you in quite quickly on just what Catalyst and her abilities are all about. Have a peek:

[Update #2]: Vermintide 2 is celebrating its Fifth Anniversary with a free weekend, triple experience and festive map.
[Update]: In celebration of the series' seventh anniversary, Vermintide 2 has just added a frigid new map - Trail of Treachery.
The Vermintide series is currently celebrating its seventh anniversary, and in order to get as many people in on the festivities as possible, Fatshark has now decided to give away Vermintide 2! Simply head on over to Steam, click on that giant green "Add to Account" button, and you'll be ready to slice and dice through hordes of ratmen in no time.
Speaking of which, you should probably not dawdle as the giveaway will be ending soon, on November 7th. The good news is that once you have Vermintide 2 on your Steam account, it'll be yours to keep forever and you'll be able to play it whenever you want and for however long you want.
Overwatch 2's next tank hero will be Ramattra - the mysterious Omnic leader of Null Sector

[Update #2]: Blizzard has now detailed Ramattra's every ability and his stance-shifting mechanics.
[Update]: Overwatch 2's first balance update has arrived with nerfs to Zarya, Genji, Sombra, as well as Junkrat for some reason.
If you bought into the recent wave of rumors stating that the next Overwatch 2 hero will be the giant Mauga first introduced in Baptiste's short story, I'm afraid you've been duped. It's not all that bad, however, as the freshly unveiled Ramattra is quite an interesting character as well!
Ramattra is the the leader of Null Sector, the Omnic extremist group working towards "creating a better world." He was first introduced back in 2019 as a part of the Storm Rising event's finale, though besides his incredibly brief conversation with Doomfist this is the first time we've actually learned something concrete about him and his ideology.

[Update]: Dwarf Fortress' new and improved version has now landed onto Steam, and I'm happy to say that it has done so alongside overwhelmingly positive reviews!.
After a fair bit of time in development, Dwarf Fortress' much-anticipated Steam port has now finally been pinned for a December 6th launch. Rather than be a simple copy of the free version, the Steam port will bring with it an assortment of quality-of-life features and improvements to make the process of learning and playing Dwarf Fortress a lot less overwhelming, especially for new players.
These features include a set of stylish visuals to better help represent what's happening in the world, an overhauled UI focused around usability and readability, Steam Workshop support to make modding easier, as well as a bunch of quality-of-life improvements and additions to help smooth out any rough edges. Most importantly, at least as far as pure beginners are concerned, the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress will also come with a comprehensive tutorial that will (hopefully) instill you with all the knowledge you need to set off on your own.

[Update]: Rain World's Downpour expansion has now arrived, and so far it's looking quite good!
We've had to wait quite a few months since the original announcement, but the Videocult team has now finally revealed that Rain World's very first expansion will be launching onto PC on January 19th, 2023 - nearly six years after its first appearance! Consoles will also be getting the Downpour expansion, though sadly no exact release date has been announced for them just yet.
In terms of content, Downpour will bring with it ten expansive new regions to explore, over a thousand new rooms to carefully navigate, as well as five unique slugcats with their own storylines, abilities and gameplay styles. And just in case you're in the mood for something a bit trickier, Downpour will also add a Challenge Mode where you can test your slugcatting skills in a variety of different and undoubtedly devious scenarios.
