[Update]: It took a while, but Digimon Survive has now finally been released!
This entire year has been a bit of a mess, so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to hear that yet another game has now been delayed. This time around we're talking about the strategy-focused RPG Digimon Survive. Instead of launching in late 2020 as previously announced, it has now been pushed back until 2021, with no exact release date announced just yet.
"The Digimon Survive team would like to extend our thanks to fans from around the world for their support during development, especially in these difficult times," reads the brief developer update. "We had originally planned to launch Digimon Survive in 2020 but current world events have shifted our development timing and we have made the difficult decision to push Digimon Survive's launch to 2021."

Much like Anthem, the recently launched Marvel's Avengers has run into quite a few problems with its endgame. Not only does the combat get very repetitive very quickly due to a lack of enemy diversity, but there's also problems with the loot being unexciting and the endgame boss fights more tedious than anything else.
In order to address some of these issues, as well as let the community know what's happening, Crystal Dynamics have now released a lengthy developer update. Here's a brief rundown of what you can expect to see over the coming weeks and months:

[Update]: Assassin's Creed Valhalla has now arrived, and unsurprisingly, it's pretty good.
After recently announcing the PC system requirements for the upcoming Watch Dogs: Legion, Ubisoft has now turned their gaze towards Assassin's Creed Valhalla. So if you're curious what sort of PC you'll need in order to run Valhalla this November 10th, you'll find the minimum and recommended requirements below.
Before you dive in, it is worth mentioning that these three configurations are only a chunk of the permutations Ubisoft released, mostly focused around the low to mid-range PCs. As such, if you're looking to push your PC to the limit, you should hop on over to the official website for the full list. For now, however, here's a general overview of what you'll need to run Valhalla:

If you're a fan of repeatedly getting punched in the face, or whatever it is that people do in fighting games, you might want to check out the currently ongoing Humble "Let's Fight" Bundle. As the name would suggest, the bundle is filled with all sorts of fighting games, both serious and somewhat comedic in nature.
When it comes to the games themselves, you can find the full list, as well as the pricing tier they appear in, right below. Have a look:

[Update]: Instead of focusing on Tracer, the newest short story is all about Zenyatta and Symmetra!
When it comes to dishing out new Overwatch lore, Blizzard moves at a speed that can only be described as glacial. However, in a refreshing twist, they have now released the second part of the Tracer-focused London Calling comic - a mere month after the original!
London Calling #2 continues immediately after its predecessor and follows Tracer as she attempts to stop Widowmaker from assassinating the Omnic monk Mondatta. While this is an already well known story, things do get further fleshed out through the addition of side-characters that seem like they will have a major role in the future of King's Row.

[Update]: Total War: Warhammer 2's The Twisted & The Twilight DLC is bringing in goodies for Wood Elves and Skaven.
While this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that it was teased a very long time ago, Total War: Warhammer 2's next DLC will focus heavily on the Wood Elves. However, given that the Wood Elves themselves are already a piece of DLC, Creative Assembly has wisely split the new DLC into pieces in order to ensure nobody gets left out.
So if you own Total War: Warhammer 2 and this upcoming DLC, you will get the Wood Elves as a playable faction, as well as a variety of new units, two new Legendary Lords and new mounts. Furthermore, if you own Total War: Warhammer 1, 2 and this upcoming DLC, you will also be able to play the Wood Elves on the Mortal Empires map, though only as the newly introduced factions.

[Update]: Legends of Runeterra is introducing its first co-op event on January 13, 2021.
When it comes to card games, more is always better. A few balance patches here and there are all well and good, but it is the massive influx of new cards from an expansion that really shake the meta up and create a fresh and exciting environment for everyone to mess around with. With that in mind, I'm happy to say that Legends of Runeterra has just received a brand new expansion!
The Monuments of Power set brings with it 3 fancy new champion cards (Shyvana, Soraka, and Tahm Kench), as well as 40 new cards in total. The most exciting part of this batch of cards is the brand new card type - Landmark. These are cards that use up a slot on the board, yet cannot attack or defend. Instead, they provide you with a passive bonus for as long as they remain in play, which is a classic risk vs reward arrangement and something that will fit quite nicely within Legends of Runeterra.

[Update]: Old School RuneScape is heading over to Steam this February 24, 2021!
It may have taken quite a while for this to happen, but RuneScape has now finally made its way to Steam! It brings with it 20 new achievements, 15 trading cards, 6 emoticons, 6 badges, as well as 3 player profile backgrounds to spruce up your account with.
Speaking of which, the Steam launch has also brought with it a couple of bundles for first-time members. Each one offers an increasingly lengthy RuneScape Membership Access subscription, fancy cosmetics and treasures keys, so if you're already planning to spend money on membership, you might want to look into those. As for whether any of them are actually a good deal, I'm afraid I simply don't know.

[Update #2]: World of Warcraft will soon start issuing bans for multiboxing and automated gameplay.
[Update]: The Shadowlands expansion will be launching for real this November 23rd!
While World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion has been delayed until later this year, its pre-patch has now arrived in order to help everyone pass the time. Personally, I would highly recommend trying out a brand new character as the pre-patch has not only squished levels from 120 to 50, but also made it so you can quest through any of the expansions on your journey to max level!
There is also a new zone specifically tailored to beginners, Exile's Reach, that will teach players pretty much everything they need to know about World of Warcraft and how it works. Best of all, it's also a pretty fun zone to level through, so if you haven't experienced it yet, it's well worth checking out.

[Update #2]: Valorant's cursed Update 1.11 will be making a return on Monday, November 2nd.
[Update]: Valorant has pulled back the recent Update 1.11 due to massive technical issues.
After being teased for a little while, Valorant's very first new map, Icebox, has now finally arrived! Expect to see plenty of snow, an entire jungle of storage containers, a bunch of heavy machinery, and most importantly of all, ziplines!
You can get a little bit of a sneak peek at what Icebox looks like in-game, as well as how useful the ziplines might be, through the recently posted trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:
