[Update]: Overwatch update has improved Career Profiles and brought in Sigma's Maestro Challenge.
With the Summer Games event still a few weeks away, Blizzard has decided to fill the gap by releasing a brand new event. This time around it's all about the music, and unsurprisingly, the free skin you can grab throughout the event will be the above-pictured Maestro Sigma.
While the details haven't been confirmed just yet, it's highly likely this event will follow in the footsteps of the previous ones. So once it goes live this July 14th, you'll simply need to win nine games across any official game mode, at which point you'll be awarded the Maestro Sigma skin and a couple of new sprays to toy around with.

You will also need to take care of your settlement and fellow vikings, launch raids against a myriad of English fortresses, and as is tradition, engage in a bit of insult-fighting to help pass the time!

[Update #2]: Total War: Warhammer 2's next major update will bring the long-anticipated Wood Elf rework!
[Update]: Total War: Warhammer 2's big bugfixing update has finally been unleashed.
The recent The Warden & The Paunch DLC added a variety of new content for the Greenskins and High Elves to mess around with, as well as a rather unfortunate amount of new bugs. To Creative Assembly's credit, they quickly tried to sort all of these issues out, though sadly their efforts only created even more problems!
Thankfully, after a rather long wait, the newest beta update has now arrived to finally put a stop to these bugs. Legendary Lord traits can now once again be acquired through manual battles, Norsca and Greenskins confederation dilemmas will now correctly appear after defeating the enemy faction leader, while players in a co-op Greenskins campaign will now finally be able to acquire WAAAGH! points while their teammate is using theirs.

[Update #2]: Far Cry 6 has now arrived onto PC and consoles with a few new twists on the age-old Ubisoft formula.
[Update]: Due to the pandemic, Far Cry 6's release date been pushed back.
While the announcement shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given the recent leak, Ubisoft has now officially revealed Far Cry 6. The gameplay details are unfortunately still few and far between, but you can expect Far Cry 6 to take place in a jungle environment, have you face off against yet another tyrannical ruler, and perhaps most importantly of all, pair up with an adorable (and apparently quite deadly) wiener dog companion!
If you're hoping the cinematic trailer will focus on the wiener dog and its adventures, I'm afraid you're out of luck, but it's not all that bad as the trailer itself is actually quite fetching! Have a gander, it sets up the mood rather well:

Originally, Watch Dogs 2 was going to be given away through Ubisoft's online conference Forward. As you might imagine, the moment the Forward stream went online was also the moment the giveaway collapsed under the sheer weight of all the people trying to get themselves a copy.
In order to correct this little issue, as well as give people another chance to grab Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft has now launched a less time-pressured giveaway. Simply head on over to the Ubisoft website, log in or create a new account, and Watch Dogs 2 will be added to your library in no time flat.

[Update]: Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town has now landed onto Steam.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, formerly a part of the Harvest Moon series, released for the Game Boy Advance all the way back in 2003. While it may be incredibly old by today's standards, it is one of those games that has successfully stood the test of time and is remarkably enjoyable to this very day.
As such, you might be interested to hear that a full remake of it will soon be launching onto PC. And when I say soon, I really do mean that as Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town will be arriving this July 14th. It's also worth mentioning that the Nintendo Switch has already been released, so if you want to kickstart your farm as soon as possible, that would be the route to take.
