[Update]: The latest preview offers a close-up look at the Immortal Empires campaign map and some of the new Legendary Lord positions.
This August 23rd Total War: Warhammer 3 will be getting its biggest update to date. It'll bring with it the Immortal Empires combined campaign map, a major rework of the Warriors of Chaos faction, numerous buffs and tweaks to many of the forgotten Total War: Warhammer 2 lords, as well as the first post-launch DLC containing four powerful Chaos champions and god-themed units.
During the last round of previews Creative Assembly focused on Vilitch the Curseling and Tzeentch trickery, while the newest and final Champions of Chaos DLC preview now brings with it a far more straightforward lord - Valkia the Bloods and the legions of Khorne. You can get a pretty good idea of what they look like in action through two of the trailers below, starting with the somewhat abrupt cinematic short:

If the recent previews for Sonic Frontiers have left you disappointed, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming Spark the Electric Jester 3 as it shows a great deal of potential. It's essentially a fast paced action-platformer heavily inspired by the some of the better 3D Sonic games like Sonic Adventure.
Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you the recently posted gameplay trailer. It should give you a pretty darn good idea of just what Spark the Electric Jester 3 is going for and how close it really is to the classic 3D Sonic games. Have a gander:

All good things must eventually come to an end, and so Overwatch has now unleashed its final event, and very likely final update as well. Anniversary Remix: Vol. 3 brings with it some fancy recolors of highly popular skins like Academy D.Va and Sentai Genji, the ability to snag all of the previous event skins at a (mostly) cheaper price, as well as a rotating playlist of event-exclusive game modes and missions.
Since the cosmetics are most likely the reason you're even curious about the event, allow me to share with you the freshly posted trailer highlighting all of them in action. Have a little peek:
Project Zomboid's Update 41.73 has added scores of small but highly welcome changes

While work still continues on the massive update that will finally bring in NPCs, the Project Zomboid team has now unleashed a smaller patch filled with all sorts of quality of life improvements and changes. As such, there's no big addition to highlight, but rather scores upon scores of minor yet highly useful tweaks.
First and foremost, zombies should no longer spawn in already explored closed rooms or in the player's base, which should make base-building a lot less hectic affair. Similarly, players should no longer spawn in the middle of a zombie rave and get eaten before being able to even move a centimeter. I don't think I need to explain why that change was needed.

If you were hoping to get your hands on Marvel's Midnight Suns at some point this year, I'm afraid I bring some bad news. In a brief announcement over at Twitter, Firaxis has revealed that their upcoming turn-based RPG has been delayed yet again.
"After discussion with the team, we've made the decision to move back the launch timing of Marvel's Midnight Suns to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience for our fans," reads the brief developer update. "We will launch later this fiscal year on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, with the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch versions following at a later date."
Overwatch's bittersweet final event, Anniversary Remix: Vol. 3, is coming tomorrow (August 9th)

[Update]: Overwatch's final event, and likely final update as well, has now arrived alongside some fancy reskins.
With Overwatch 2 now fast approaching, Blizzard has decided to gift Overwatch one last update before they truly commit everything to the long-anticipated sequel. Unfortunately, instead of a triumphant update that would bridge the gap between the two games and give Overwatch the send-off it truly deserves, the upcoming Anniversary Remix: Vol. 3 is mostly just more of the same.
So much like the previous two remix updates, Anniversary Remix: Vol. 3 will give you another chance at grabbing an assortment of old cosmetics from various events, as well as a couple of snazzy new recolors. The exact list of recolors has not been announced just yet, but you can get a little bit of a sneak peek at what is to come by heading over to the Overwatch Twitter.

If you're a fan of shooting, Orks, shooting Orks and Orks shooting at other Orks, then the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef might be right up your alley. It's essentially a Metal Slug inspired run & gun platformer that will task you will unleashing your Waaagh! across a variety of over-the-top levels while spouting utter gibberish that can only make sense to an Ork.
Since this is one of those games where trying to explain things through words alone is a pointless venture, allow me to share with you one of the trailers. It should clue you in quite quickly on just what Shootas, Blood & Teef is really all about. Have a gander:
