[Update]: The expansion is now available.
If you're sick and tired of creating wonderful, penis-shaped cities where everyone and everything lives in peace and harmony, there is a solution on the horizon! And by solution I mean Armageddon, because the upcoming Natural Disasters DLC is bringing with it a whole bunch of new ways to for nature to absolutely demolish your cities, as well as a couple of systems that allow you to hopefully mitigate the casualties and avoid most of the damage.
And if you're wondering what these disasters might look like, here's the relatively recent trailer showcasing the end of the world set to some rather lovely music. Have a look, and try not to hum along while the whole city burns:
Rocket League will be getting Steam Workshop support this December

Despite them not being officially supported, at least not to a significant degree, Rocket League still has a rather large collection of user-made obstacle courses and training arenas. Once the upcoming December update rolls around, however, you can expect to see that number go even higher as Psyonix has announced that Steam Workshop support is coming to Rocket League!
In other words, you will soon be able to easily browse through all of the currently available mods, pick and choose your favorites, and then add them to your game with the single press of a button. Once downloaded, you can access them in the 'Extras' section of the main menu and play to your heart's content.
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide is getting a new DLC set in the Dwarven fortress of Karak Azgaraz

Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, the premier co-op rat-slaying simulator set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, is set to become even bigger in the near future. But instead of fighting in an Imperial city and its surroundings, the action in the upcoming Karak Azgaraz DLC will be set in a gigantic Dwarven fortress that is currently suffering a bit of a Skaven infestation.
In gameplay terms this means you'll have three new maps to explore, each one with a variety of objectives to complete and areas to litter with Skaven bodies, as well as two new weapons to clobber the enemy with: the Dwarf Ranger's Warpick, and the the Witch Hunter's Falchion.

With Hitman's physical release pinned for January 31st, IO-Interactive has begun releasing a series of patches that aim to correct most of the current issues, and also add a bunch of new content. The very first of these updates has arrived today, bringing with it the ability to keep your unlocked weapons and toys while in offline mode, but also a variety of bug, optimization, and gameplay fixes.
If you're interested in all of the changes that arrived alongside the update you can check them out by heading over here, but if you're just interested in the highlights, here's the list:
No Man's Sky's upcoming Foundation Update will add "the foundations of base building"

To say that No Man's Sky has ended up being a disappointment is one hell of an understatement, and as I've mentioned in my review it is in need of numerous content patches before it can even be considered a finished game. And while the upcoming Foundation Update might not bring with it enough new content to fix all of No Man's Sky's issues, it at the very least marks the beginning of a long and arduous trip towards something greater.
Once the Foundation Update finally arrives, most likely today given the wording in the announcement, it will bring with it "the foundation of base building", but also lay the groundwork for future updates. Since there are very few details available right now, allow me to show you the full announcement message so that you can at least understand what Hello Games is planning:
Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season 3 has been delayed until December 20

If you were hoping that Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season 3 would release in November as previously announced, I am afraid I have a bit of bad news. According to the newly updated release dates on both the official site and Steam, Season 3 will not be releasing in November, but rather on December 20.
As with all of Telltale's modern games, Season 3 - A New Frontier will be broken up into five episodes, so it is important to note that this December will only bring with it the first episode. On the positive side, if the trailer is any judge it appears to be quite an intriguing first episode! Have a look:

And if you're wondering what exactly this DLC will bring with it, but also what Respawn Entertainment is planning for Titanfall 2, here's the list of features and a couple of quotes from the announcement:
