It took many updates and a little bit over a year, but the dark fantasy turn-based RPG King Arthur: Knight's Tale has now been released in full. As is to be expected, the launch was accompanied by a chunky update that has brought in the story's finale, as well as a whole host of new heroes and side-missions to play around with.
You can also expect to see four new enemy factions to beat up, an expanded morality chart and adventure map, a brand new CGI cinematic for each act, and naturally, a whole boatload of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. You can check out the exact details over at the patch notes.

[Update]: Following in Age of Empire II's footsteps, Age of Empires III is adding two new civilizations and a brand new 'Tycoon' game mode.
Age of Empires II may be ancient at this point, but its popularity only seems to be growing with each passing year. That is also unlikely to change any time soon as Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition has just received a brand new expansion to help spice things up!
The freshly released Dynasties of India, as the name might suggest, brings with it three new playable civilizations: Bengalis, Dravidians and Gurjaras. Each one also comes with a voice acted campaign, as well as an assortment of new units, buildings and achievements to play around with.

If you long for the 3D RPGs of yore, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming Dread Delusion. To put it quite simply, it's a retro 3D open world RPG that's all about picking a direction and seeing what there is to see in the moody yet surprisingly colorful world.
Along the way you fight hordes of bizarre enemies with a variety of blades and spells, level up skills that can help make life easier in and out of combat, as well as chat up the locals in order to see if there's anything you can do about the whole "the sky is literally burning" problem. What all of this madness looks like in action, that you can check out through the trailer below. Have a peek:

If you're tired of exploring vaguely medieval England and you're looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary, you might want to keep an eye on the freshly announced Nazralath: The Fallen World. It's a highly atmospheric action-adventure with a surreal yet stunning art style heavily inspired by the works of Zdzisław Beksiński and H.P. Lovecraft.
Since words alone are absolutely useless at conveying just how unique Nazralath's presentation is, allow me to share with you the reveal trailer. Have a gander, it's quite the sight to behold:
Apex Legends' Season 13 is adding Bangalore's brother and sprucing up the Storm Point map

[Update #2]: Season 13 - Saviors has now arrived alongside a whole host of balance changes.
[Update]: Apex Legends' new Season 13 preview is here to show off what Newcastle is all about, though sadly the Nemesis rifle is nowhere to be found.
If the current Apex Legends meta has started to get stale and you're looking for something new and exciting to reignite the spark, you'll be happy to hear that Season 13 - Saviors is nearly upon us! Once it arrives this May 10th it'll bring with it Bangalore's brother Newcastle as a brand new Legend, a couple of new locations to mess up in Storm Point, an assortment of new cosmetics to collect, and most likely a brand new weapon as well!
The latter has not been announced just yet, but given the recent rumors and leaks it's expected that Season 13 will bring with it the Nemesis assault rifle. If these sources are credible then the Nemesis will be a burst-fire rifle that uses energy ammo, which will then most likely result in the Havoc getting upgraded to a supply crate weapon in order to avoid them sharing the spotlight.
Sentry is an upcoming hybrid between a tower defense game and a first-person shooter

Following in the footsteps of Sanctum and Orcs Must Die, Sentry is a freshly announced hybrid between a tower defense strategy game and a first-person shooter. As you might imagine from that description alone, Sentry is all about preparing the field with a brilliant spread of traps, turrets and environmental hazards, and then wildly running around to patch up all of the holes when your plan inevitably goes up in flames!
Should everything go awry and your poor character meet their demise, worry not as death is not the end. Sentry aims to have a push-and-pull campaign where both victories and defeats will only play a small part in the greater scheme of things. This also means that each battle will take place on a different level, which should help keep things interesting.
