The official artwork for the upcoming Prey game

The original Prey was about as straightforward as it gets. You played as an angry, drunken Native American that's trying to save his girl from the evil aliens in the only way he knows how - by blasting them into teeny weeny bits and pieces. Prey (2) on the other hand... well, let's just say that things aren't as simple anymore.

Your character this time around is apparently some sort of alien hybrid, you're fighting against shadows that put Slenderman to shame, and one of your abilities allows you to turn into a cup... A CUP! What might come as the biggest surprise, however, is that Prey actually looks pretty damn interesting. If you're having trouble believing that after learning about the main character's amazing cup-based superpower, here's a recently posted preview video showcasing most of the gameplay elements present in Prey:

Torbjorn from Overwatch dressed up as Santa

If you're currently wondering whether you should spend your hard earned currency for some fancy new Overwatch skins, I would recommend you stay your hand because Christmas is coming! And as is tradition with Blizzard games, the Christmas season is bringing with it a whole bunch of new cosmetics to collect, as well as a new and so far unannounced holiday event (similar to Junkenstein's Revenge)!

As per Blizzard's recent announcement, the festivities will begin on December 13, but that's as far as concrete information goes. However, if you're interested in some unconfirmed details the folks from Facepunch have managed to dig up, here's the full list of heroes that will be getting either a costume, an emote, or a highlight intro. But before you dive in, do bear in mind that all of this is still strictly in rumor territory, and as such is in no ways guaranteed to appear on December 13. With that said, here's the list:

Shovel Knight Specter of Torment screenshot showcasing a giant demonic portal

Continuing on with the tradition of basing entire story campaigns on previous boss battles, Shovel Knight's upcoming campaign Specter of Torment will be giving the spotlight to the rather ominous Specter Knight. But unlike the previously released Plague of Shadows, the Specter of Torment campaign seems to feature a heavily redesigned version of both the game world and the bosses!

If you're wondering what all of this might look like, here's the recently posted and surprisingly elegant trailer. Its not very long, totaling at around two minutes, but it does offer an excellent glimpse of what Specter Knight is truly capable of. Have a look:

Rainbow Six Siege artwork for the Echo operator

Even though its launch was extremely shaky, Rainbow Six Siege ended up being a great deal of fun, so much so that its still being heavily played despite numerous other 'big' shooters coming and going. And given its success so far, it shouldn't come as any surprise to hear that Ubisoft will be continuing with the content flow into 2017 as well.

What might come as a surprise, however, is that Ubisoft has already started selling the pre-orders for the Year 2 Season Pass. While that's a bit ridiculous given that we don't even have the release date for the first content pack just yet, it does bring with it one upside - a list of planned Operators and cosmetics for 2017. Here it is:

Total War: Warhammer's upcoming lord Duurthu

Once December 8th rolls around Total War: Warhammer will be getting its second faction DLC - Realm of the Wood Elves. As you can probably guess from the name alone, its bringing with it the Wood Elves as a brand new faction along with their own Legendary Lords, exclusive units, story campaign, lores of magic, mechanics, and so forth.

Since all of this might be a bit hard to grasp, especially if you know very little Warhammer lore, Creative Assembly has decided to release a brief and extremely cheesy overview of what exactly the Wood Elves are. So if you're interested in the short version of their lore, battlefield tactics, heroes, and available units, have a look:

The Walking Dead: Season 3 official screenshot of Clementine and Javier

Its been known for a while now that The Walking Dead: Season 3 will allow us to play as both Clementine and her newfound companion Javier, but who exactly he was Telltale didn't elaborate. And with Season 3 set to release on December 20, its about time we've finally received a little bit of characterization for someone we're bound to spend hours upon hours keeping alive from all sorts of horrible mishaps.

So if you're up for learning a couple of details about Javier, more specifically about how he first encountered the zombie menace, head over to the video down below. Oh, and don't worry about spoilers because the biggest revelation you'll get from the video is that zombies do indeed exist. Anyway, have a look:

Path of Exile breach expansion artwork of a magical hammer

If you were holding off on giving Path of Exile a try, now would be the best time to do so as the new Breach expansion has arrived! It brought with it two new Leagues that offer a fresh start for all players, a variety of new items and spells, as well as a whole host of new monsters to fight in.... you guessed it, the Breach!

In case you're wondering what all of this new content might look like, Grinding Gear Games also released a brief preview video showcasing the most interesting parts. Have a look:
