The first episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season is set to arrive this August 14th. It'll bring with it the final chapter of Clementine's story, a new camera and control scheme, a greatly improved art style, as well as a much larger focus on your choices and their consequences.
If you're wondering how exactly all of this manifests itself in-game, you'll be glad to hear that The Final Season now has a free demo available. It'll give you a pretty good idea of what to expect, and since it doesn't take long to beat I would highly recommend you give it a look by hopping over to Steam or your preferred console's marketplace.

After being delayed for quite a long time, the PC version of Monster Hunter: World has now finally arrived. So if you're up for hunting gigantic beasts with equally gigantic weapons, as well as crafting even bigger and more ridiculous armaments with all of the spikey bits you loot from around the world, you should head on over to Steam.
For those of you wondering what all of this might look like in-game, allow me to share with you the recently posted PC trailer. It's not exactly a lengthy video, but it should clue you in quite nicely regardless. Have a gander:

[Update]: The Summer Games have now arrived alongside a rather hefty balance patch. You can learn more by heading over here.
Overwatch's Summer Games 2018 event is set to arrive later today (August 9th), bringing with it a whole bunch of new and old content to enjoy. Lucioball will be making a return alongside a new stadium set in Busan, all of the previous summer cosmetics will become available at a highly discounted price, and perhaps most importantly for today's topic, we'll be getting a brand new batch of sports-themed cosmetics!
The preview images below are unfortunately a bit shaky when it comes to quality, but worry not as each one will include a link to a brief teaser showing off the cosmetic 'in action'. So without further ado, here are all six of the new cosmetics announced so far:
Overwatch Summer Games 2018 update is coming on August 9th alongside a new Lucioball stadium set in Busan, South Korea

[Update]: The Summer Games have now arrived alongside a rather hefty balance patch. You can learn more by heading over here.
August has now arrived alongside a massive heatwave, which in Overwatch terms means that the Summer Games 2018 event is just around the corner. To be more specific, the Summer Games will be coming this August 9th alongside numerous new cosmetics, Lucioball and a brand new stadium map set in Busan, South Korea.
The new stadium doesn't appear to be significantly different from the other Lucioball maps, but hopefully it'll have some interesting background elements to help flesh out D.Va's incredibly lacking lore. If you're curious about what the Busan map looks like, and you don't mind the fact that Blizzard is being incredibly coy with the reveal, you'll find a brief teaser over at Twitter.
Death's Gambit has a new trailer showing off the visuals, story, bosses and atmosphere

Death's Gambit is a seemingly Dark Souls inspired action-RPG with a heavy focus on challenging combat. As you might imagine from that sentence alone, this means you'll spend a lot of your time dodging around, striking enemies only when the time is right, and naturally, endlessly dying against a rather diverse bunch of bosses.
For those of you wondering what all of this looks like in-game, or what sort of tone Death's Gambit is even aiming for, you'll find the answers you seek in the recently posted trailer down below. Personally, I found it to be a pretty darn good trailer, so if you have a spare minute I'd highly recommend you check it out:
World of Warcraft devs have recently reduced the experience required for levels 40-100

World of Warcraft's most recent update has brought with it a massive stat-squish, all in an effort to curb the highly inflated damage and health numbers. While it has managed to do that quite successfully, as a side effect it also unfortunately made the leveling experience a lot more tedious than before.
Since then Blizzard has reduced the health and damage of enemies below level 100 in order to make the leveling process a bit smoother, but the main problem still remained: leveling was noticeably slower. Thankfully, one of the most recent hotfixes has finally made an improvement in this area by reducing the amount of experience required for levels 60-80 by 14%, with smaller reductions going towards the rest of the levels between 40 and 100.
The melee combat focused PvP game Absolver is currently free to try out on Steam

Absolver is a primarily PVP combat RPG with the focus quite firmly placed on melee battles, though with the combat style being more akin to the one from fighting games than classic action-RPGs. That said, instead of using predefined skills and abilities like you would in fighting games, in Absolver you are able to customize your fighter's entire moveset, combos, blocks, dodges, and so forth.
Since this isn't exactly easy to explain through words alone, allow me to share with you the "Combat Overview" trailer. It'll give you a pretty darn good idea of just what Absolver is all about. Have a gander:
