Life is Strange developer Dontnod recently revealed a bunch of new screenshots from their upcoming vampire RPG, Vampyr, showcasing some dark, moody and rather interesting environments. What they didn't mention at all, however, was the gameplay, mechanics or even what type of an RPG Vampyr would be.
As it turns out, according to a video leaked yesterday, Vampyr's combat mechanics are somewhat similar to those found in Bloodborne, though obviously clunkier given its early alpha state. Have a look if you don't mind shaky camera footage:

Despite Prison Architect being released many moons ago the development team is still working hard on new updates and features, making them officially awesome.
One such update released yesterday and brought with it a brand new temperature system that requires you to keep your inmates warm, but not too warm or they might get disgruntled, as well as a quick-build option and a couple of other features. Here's the developer video going over all the changes and the full patch notes:

The Shadow Moses project was aiming to be a full Metal Gear Solid fan remake developed in Unreal Engine 4.
However, as it so often goes with these fan remakes, it has been promptly shut down once first bits of gameplay footage started appearing. To the developer's credit, they did manage to make a rather faithful adaptation, as you can see in the most recent trailer:
Myst's Spiritual Successor Obduction Now Has A Proper Trailer

I've attempted to complete Myst without a walkthrough on numerous occasions now but never managed to do so on account of my way of thinking getting in the way of the moon logic Myst intends you for you to use on certain puzzles. You would think I'd hate Myst after going through that whole ordeal but if anything, my love for the game has deepened, even if it makes me feel like a half-wit.
If you share the same position as me (ideally without the whole stupidity aspect) then you'll be delighted to hear that Obduction, the spiritual successor to Myst and Riven, is progressing rather nicely if the latest trailer is any judge. Have a look:
Blizzard Is Teasing A Special Hearthstone Announcement Set For Next Week

We've had about a month or so to ruminate on the upcoming Hearthstone ranked ladder split and while the announcement was an exciting one it didn't bring with it enough details to truly sate the hunger of news-starved Hearthstone fans.
I'm afraid the same applies for today's "announcement of an announcement" but while Blizzard avoided releasing any actual information they did set a date for when they will finally spill the beans on the new expansion and ladder split.

If the relatively recent Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition got your RPG juices flowing you'll be happy to hear that the brand new expansion titled Siege of Dragonspear is right around the corner.
Siege of Dragonspear is a 25 hour long campaign set between the events of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 and represents an excellent reason to once again revisit the Sword Coast. Here's the brief trailer and a bit more info on what exactly to expect from Siege of Dragonspear:
The Division Will Receive Numerous Free & Paid Expansions During Its First Year

After playing the open beta one of my main issues with The Division was long term appeal and the fact that the content starts to feel a bit stale after you run it over and over again.
Thankfully, it seems that Ubisoft is well aware of these issues as they have announced a whole bunch of free and paid expansions, most of which are focused on extending the "end game". Here's the teaser trailer and what to expect in the coming months:
