Black Desert Online's next expansion contents have been revealed

Black Desert Online is a game I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with, but ever since the free Mediah expansion arrived there is so much content available to players that its hard to stay angry at it.

Things are set to become even better in the future as Pearl Abyss (the developers) recently held a press conference in Soul announcing some of the biggest changes and additions coming to Black Desert Online. Thankfully, DualShockers translated the entire announcement to English, so if you're looking for all of the details on the upcoming features I recommend you head over there, I will cover only what I believe are the biggest additions:

Aliens: Colonial Marines has been massively improved by a talented modder

Aliens: Colonial Marines is to me the worst type of a game, its not bad enough that it becomes funny like Ride to Hell: Retribution, and its definitively not good enough to enjoy despite some of the bugs turning Aliens in to tap-dancing machines. Instead it resides in that dreaded middle-ground of mediocrity and boredom, where no sane person dare ever tread.

There is some hope for Aliens: Colonial Marines, however, as it appears that a modder by the name of TemplarGFX has done what Gearbox could not: make the game both challenging and actually...fun!

Starbound will soon be updating to version 1.0 and leaving Early Access

To say that Starbound has been in development for a long time would be akin to saying that the Sun is a pretty hot place, but despite the glacial development pace and multiple delays I'm still glad its finally coming out of Early Access.

The big shift to version 1.0 will occur with Starbound's next update which "is getting close" and bringing with it story content, new quests, dungeons, upgraded crafting, new crew members, and a whole bunch more.

The second Overwatch animated short is called Alive

I'm not sure why Blizzard has decided to invest so much time and effort in to creating compelling lore for a game where everyday business is mostly shooting people in the head, but I am grateful they decided to do so because it has managed to elevate Overwatch in to something quite special.

Today's lore tidbits come from the second animated short, titled Alive, that explores some of the darker elements and themes of the Overwatch universe through the point of view of Widowmaker, the impractically dressed and not-quite-French sniper. Here's the video:

Endless Legend: Shifters expansion launches on April 7

A mere two months after it was first announced, Endless Legend's Shifters expansion is getting ready for its big release on April 7, and bringing with it deadlier winters as well as a new major faction - the ever-changing Allayi.

If you're interested in an hour-long developer preview of Shifters you can find it over at the Amplitude Studios Twitch page, but for now here's the Allayi lore trailer and a bit of information on the expansion itself:

Don't Starve: Shipwrecked is the latest expansion for Don't Starve

When Don't Starve originally appeared it was a breath of fresh air for a survival genre that was unfortunately stuck in an endless cycle of copying Minecraft, failing, and trying again. It brought with it a ton of content, a bizarre world to explore, and most importantly, actually challenging gameplay that only got tougher over the years as expansions rolled in.

And if that wasn't enough for you, you'll be glad to hear that the recently released Shipwrecked DLC brought with it a whole ocean's worth of new content to Don't Starve. Here's the trailer and a bit of info on what to expect from Shipwrecked:

Heroes of the Storm is soon going to become a lot more cheerful as Tracer, the constantly optimistic and time-warping adventurer from Overwatch, is making her way to the Nexus.
