Triangle Strategy, a Final Fantasy Tactics inspired turn-based RPG, has now landed onto Steam

I don't know what exactly happened to warrant this, but I'm happy to say that turn-based tactics games have suddenly started sprouting up on PC again! So between the Fire Emblem: Three Houses inspired Lost Eidolons and the freshly released' Triangle Strategy from the Octopath Traveler studio, you should have more than enough turn-based goodness to keep you entertained for a long time to come!
Much like Final Fantasy Tactics from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, Triangle Strategy is an intriguing mixture of a story-focused JRPG and a challenging turn-based tactics game. As such, besides fighting you'll also have to make a variety of choices throughout your travels that will dictate your character's worldview and the sort of allies that will join your cause.
Konami is teasing the announcement of a major new Silent Hill game for October 19th

[Update]: Konami has announced four new Silent Hill games, as well as a Silent Hill 2 inspired movie!
In an announcement that seems to have inspired a mixture of both excitement and dread among the fans, Konami has just revealed that they have a big Silent Hill project in the works. The details are currently nonexistent, though the full announcement will be going live at 2pm PDT on October 19th.
Konami has also taken the opportunity to launch a new Silent Hill website, though once there is no actual content on there outside of a new logo. As such, it's anyone's guess on whether this unannounced project will be a brand new Silent Hill game or perhaps a remake/remaster of the originals.

If you ever wanted to be a cat, by which I mean a fuzzy and adorable menace to society, the upcoming Stars in the Trash might just be what you're looking for. To put it simply, Stars in the Trash is a story-driven adventure about a spoiled cat that decided to run away from home in order to see what kind of mischief it could get itself into. And since this is a cat we're talking about, the answer is unsurprisingly quite varied!
However, the thing that really sets Stars in the Trash apart is the presentation, as everything has been hand-drawn to look like it came straight out of a classic Disney animation. What I mean by this, as well as what the gameplay in Stars in the Trash is like, that you can find out through the trailer below. Have a gander:
MTG Arena's big artifact focused expansion The Brother's War is launching on November 15th

[Update #2]: MTG Arena's The Brothers' War expansion has now arrived with a ton of new and retro artifacts in tow.
[Update]: I have some excellent news to share! The Brother's War expansion will be massively increasing the amount of Rare and Mythic cards given to players!
I hope you're in the mood for some fancy artifacts, as there's undoubtedly going to be an absolute ton of them in MTG Arena's next big Standard expansion - The Brother's War. You can expect to see it land onto MTG Arena on November 15th, while the tabletop version will be unleashed a few days later, on November 18th.
The exact list of new and returning mechanics has still not been announced, though I can tell you that Meld and Unearth will be two of them. The first, true to its name, allows you to combine two cards into a significantly stronger one - in this case to showcase the incredible power wielded by both Urza and Mishra. Unearth on the other hand allows you to return a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield with haste, though it won't stick around for long as it'll get exiled at the end of the turn or if it leaves the battlefield.

If you're itching for the Apex Legends meta to get a bit of a shakeup, you won't have to wait all that long as Season 15 - Eclipse has now been pinned for a November 1st launch. The star attraction will be the brand new legend Catalyst that utilizes a ferrofluid to manipulate the environment around her.
There are currently no details about what her abilities do, but you can get a pretty good idea of her personality, motivations and backstory through the freshly posted Last Hope animated short. Have a gander, it's as stylish as usual:
