[Update]: Diablo Immortal has now entered Open Beta, though sadly it's a bit of a mess.
In the end it doesn't even matter if you guys have phones or not because Blizzard has just revealed that their free-to-play "MMO-ARPG" Diablo Immortal will be available on both PC and mobile. You won't even have to wait all that long to give it a try as Diablo Immortal will be heading into Open Beta this June 2nd, 2022!
While the gameplay will be exactly the same between the two versions, Diablo Immortal on PC will come with a greatly revamped UI, chat functionality, controller support and most likely improved visuals as well. Most importantly, there will be both cross-play and cross-progression between the two platforms, so if you're so inclined you'll be able to swap around without a care in the world.

I hope you're in the mood for some more Bugsnax branded weirdness, because both Bugsnax and its hefty free expansion The Isle of Bigsnax have now landed onto Steam! The Isle of Bigsnax brings with it a newly discovered island filled with massive species of Bugsnax, a bunch of new quests and challenges to undertake, as well as a whole host of cosmetics to play around with, including tiny little hats to give your Bugsnax friends!
Just how adorable these hats truly are, as well as what the actual gameplay looks like, that you can find out through the recently posted overview trailer. Have a gander:
Total War: Warhammer 3's long awaited Immortal Empires campaign is likely coming in September

[Update #2]: Immortal Empires will be coming in August with 86 playable factions and a bunch of awesome improvements!
[Update]: Here's a little bit of good news to help tide you over - Total War: Warhammer 3 has made its way to macOS!
If you're eagerly waiting for Creative Assembly to fix up Total War: Warhammer 3 and transform it into a sequel that will eclipse all other games in the series, I have some good and bad news to deliver. Starting with the good, I'm happy to say that after many delays, the Total War: Warhammer 3 team has now finally unveiled the roadmap for 2022!
The bad news is that we're going to have to wait for quite a while, most likely until September 2022, in order to get to the really juicy stuff like the long-awaited Immortal Empires combined campaign map. However, once that update does finally arrive things should be quite exciting as it'll also bring with it an overhaul of the Warriors of Chaos, the bizarrely absent Blood Pack, as well as the first Lord Pack DLC.

After spending nearly two years in Early Access, the rogue-lite action-adventure Rogue Legacy 2 has now finally been unleashed alongside a chunky update. Version 1.0 brings with it a couple of new bosses to fight against, two new character classes to send to their doom, a significant overhaul and rebalance of existing content, and naturally, an actual ending!
There's far, far too many changes to cover in brief, so if you're interested in all of the details you can find what you seek over at the official patch notes. If you just want the short version, however, here's a brief trailer showing off what Rogue Legacy 2's launch version has to offer:

This May 11th Bethesda will be shutting down their Bethesda.net Launcher and mostly switching to Steam as their PC platform of choice. So if you have any games on your Bethesda.net account, make sure to transfer them (and their save files) as soon as you can.
As a part of this process, Bethesda has also just re-released five of their classic games onto Steam. Best of all, three of them are entirely free to grab! So if you ever wanted to experience a piece of The Elder Scrolls history, you'll be happy to hear that The Elder Scrolls Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall are among the chosen freebies, along with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

[Update]: Deep Rock Galactic's Season 3 - Plaguefall update has added fancy new grenades, enemy variants and mission objectives.
I hope you're in the mood for frenzied robots, frantic screaming and fancy beards, because Deep Rock Galactic's chunky Season 2 update has now arrived. The star attraction this time around is a new event that will task you with hacking a competitor's communications hub, an act that will draw in quite a few murder-bots for you to ruthlessly swat out of the sky!
There's also a brand new mini-boss that is just dying to give you a hug, as well as four new secondary weapons to toy around with. Scout gets a new crossbow, the engineer a heavy 'shard diffractor', the gunner a high-powered pistol, and the driller a submachine gun that looks more like a death-ray than anything else!
MTG Arena's gangster themed Streets of New Capenna has arrived with a new Pioneer-like format

[Update #2]: MTG Arena's next big Standard set, Dominaria United, will be launching on September 1st, 2022.
[Update]: MTG Arena is getting the Commander focused Battle for Baldur's Gate set on July 7th.
Even though it feels like Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty has landed only a couple weeks ago, MTG Arena has just unleashed a brand new set! The freshly launched Streets of New Capenna brings with it a variety of cards themed after organized crime, gangsters and the five triple-color families running it all, as well as a brand new format for everyone to enjoy!
The new Explorer format is essentially a smaller version of Pioneer that will be gradually built up over the months and years until all of the semi-competitive cards have been ported over. So if you're in the mood for a true-to-tabletop eternal format, give Explorer a try as it promises to be a good bit of fun.
