[Update #2]: Wrath of the Lich King Classic, the very peak of the original WoW era, has now been unleashed.
[Update ]: World of Warcraft Classic is giving players a fancy new dragon mount for simply playing Death Knights.
World of Warcraft's second, and very likely final, Classic expansion Wrath of the Lich King will be arriving later this year without the controversial Dungeon Finder. All of the other content will be fully available, and you can also expect to see a couple of extra improvements like additional character customization options, personal Arena rating, and even the ability to level a Death Knight character to 70 before the expansion itself goes live.
Speaking of which, you might want to start thinking about your leveling route as Blizzard has just accidentally revealed that the expansion is nearly upon us. According to a brief update on the World of Warcraft website, Wrath of the Lich King Classic will be unleashed on September 26th, which means that Death Knights will most likely become playable in either late August or early September.

[Update #2]: Immortal Empires has now been unleashed alongside Total War: Warhammer 3's biggest update ever!
[Update]: The latest preview offers a close-up look at the Immortal Empires campaign map and some of the new Legendary Lord positions.
As a part of the August 23rd update, Total War: Warhammer 3 will receive a staggering amount of new content. Not only will it include the Immortal Empires combined campaign map that spans the entire Warhammer world, but also the very first Champions of Chaos Lord Pack, along with a whole bunch of faction reworks and tweaks.
While the full list of changes has not been announced just yet, Creative Assembly has taken this opportunity to reveal their plans for four of the races: Lizardmen, Vampire Counts, Dark Elves and Norsca. You can read the whole developer update over at the Total War website, but for now here's a brief rundown of what you can expect to see:

If oldschool Dungeons & Dragons themed RPGs are your jam, you might be interested to hear that the 2004 PlayStation 2 and Xbox hack & slash Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II has now been unleashed for modern platforms. While the list of improvements is sadly quite slim, the good news is that the Dark Alliance II 'remaster' supports both local co-op and resolutions up to 4K.
As for what exactly it looks like in actual gameplay, that you can find out through the freshly posted trailer below. It's a short one, but it'll clue you in quite quickly on just what you're getting yourself into. Have a peek:
Four years after launch, indie strategy game Into the Breach has just added a ton of free new content

Much like FTL that came before it, Into the Breach launched as a short yet highly satisfying experience. Even if the Subset Games team never added anything else to it and simply moved onto their next game, Into the Breach would've still been remembered fondly due to how easy it is to pick up and how deliciously tricky it can get towards the end.
So you can imagine my surprise when over four years after its original launch Into the Breach just suddenly got a chunky new update! The Advanced Edition brings with it a whole host of new gameplay options thanks to 5 new squads, 4 new pilots and 39 new weapons & equipment, along with 10 new enemies and 10 new boss battles.
Total War: Warhammer 3's August update will greatly rework the long-forgotten Warriors of Chaos

[Update #2]: Immortal Empires has now been unleashed alongside Total War: Warhammer 3's biggest update ever!
[Update]: The second Champions of Chaos preview shows off Festus the Leechlord and the upcoming Nurgle additions.
The Warriors of Chaos were the very first DLC ever released for the original Total War: Warhammer. While they were alright back at launch, many years of updates and various improvements to the other races have left them so far behind that in Total War: Warhammer 2's Mortal Empires their world-ending invasion frequently gets stopped by a couple of random rats that just happened to cross their path.
So in order to make the Warriors of Chaos as fierce as they should be, Total War: Warhammer 3 will soon be giving them a massive overhaul. You can expect to see it arrive alongside the release of the Champions of Chaos Lords Pack and Immortal Empires combined campaign map on August 23rd, 2022.
Stray is a freshly released adventure game starring a cat in a neon-lit cyberpunk city

In a bit of a divergence from the usually over-the-top cyberpunk formula, Stray is a freshly released action-adventure following a cat making a mess out of things in a seemingly long-lost metropolis. As you might imagine the gameplay is all about jumping around to explore the neon-lit world, doing a light bit of puzzle-solving, making friends with the surprisingly human-like robots, and naturally, knocking fragile objects off tall surfaces!
Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. It should clue you in quite quickly on just what Stray is all about. Have a peek:

[Update #2]: Vampire Survivors has now been unleashed from Early Access alongside a sizable content update.
[Update]: Vampire Survivors "The Not One" update has added two new secret characters and a wildcard weapon.
Despite Vampire Survivors being nearly finished, the developers don't seem to be all that interested in slowing down with the influx of new content. As such, two weeks after the last major patch, the Vampire Survivors team has now unleashed yet another update!
Update 0.9 - The Flashy One brings with it Boss Rush as a brand new challenge mode, a strange new character and accompanying weapon, as well as two new Arcanas to toy around with. Here's a small teaser of what this looks like in action:
