Sings of the Times artwork for Mafia 3

Mafia 3 will soon be getting its third and most likely final piece of DLC - Sign of the Times. The story will focus on a deranged and rather violent group of cultists called The Ensanglante, whose only goal seems to be to restore purity and order to New Bordeaux through a series of extremely gruesome rituals. As you might expect you will need to figure out how exactly the cult operates, why they have such a fanatical following, and most importantly, how you can stop them.

You can get a brief idea of what all of this is going to look like through the recently posted "Investigating a Cult" trailer right below. Have a gander:

The Trail: Frontier Challenge screenshot of some lovely mountain scenery

To say that Peter Molyneux and his 22cans studio have a poor reputation would be one hell of an understatement given that the still-unfinished Godus currently sports a 4% approval rating on Steam. Despite all of this it would appear that 22cans is now preparing to release another game on Steam, though this time around as an actual game and not simply an early-alpha experiment.

The Trail: Frontier Challenge will be a casual 3rd person adventure game where the goal is to explore, collect and refine resources, and then trade those resources with other players as you journey towards the town of Eden Falls. You can get a quick peek at what all of this looks like in gameplay terms through the recently posted announcement video:

Star Wars Battlefront 2 screenshot of a tank and stormtroopers

After many months of rumors and leaks EA officially announced Battlefront 2 during this year's E3. Rather than just stick to pre-rendered cutscenes the Battlefront 2 reveal was immediately followed by a whole bunch of gameplay footage, as well as the announcement of an upcoming multiplayer beta.

If this is something you're interested in you'll be glad to hear that the open multiplayer beta will be coming in October for both PC and consoles. The public beta will open its doors on October 6th, while those that pre-order Battlefront 2 will be able to test their mettle a couple of days early, on October 4th.

Reinhardt from Overwatch charging the screen

Out of all the heroes in Overwatch there are few that have suffered as much as Reinhardt has recently. Not only is the meta completely unfavorable to him, but almost all of his spells are currently inconsistent and buggy, which as you might imagine makes playing him about as fun as setting your hair on fire.

Thankfully, the German crusader will soon be getting most of his bugs fixed, as announced by Overwatch's Game Director Jeff Kaplan himself! The whole post is fairly short and to the point, so here it is in full:

Warframe screenshot of the open world content and a trader

Warframe's second annual TennoCon convention has now come and gone, bringing with it some rather intriguing announcements. Throughout the event the developers showed off new weapons, the long-awaited Umbra Warframe, the next Prime Warframe, and also an expansion centered entirely around MMO-like open-world content!

The Plains of Eidolon, the very first of these new regions, will feature hand-crafted environments with a day-night cycle, as well as a diverse population of friendly and hostile NPCs. For example, during the day you will most likely encounter traditional enemies such as the Grineer, while night time will bring with it enormous creatures called the Eidolons - something Warframe has not seen as of yet.

Battlerite official artwork

Battlerite is the spiritual successor to Bloodline Champions, and much like its predecessor its a highly competitive brawler with a wide variety of unique characters to choose from. Its currently in Steam Early Access, but despite the beta status its polished enough to be played without a single hitch.

So if you're up for a competitive game that focuses entirely on player skill over randomness you might want to check out Battlerite on Steam. Just bear in mind that the free weekend will only last for two more days, so try not to wait for too long or you might just miss it.

The Escapists 2 screenshot of a frozen prison

The Escapists 2, as you would imagine from the title alone, is a sandbox prison-escape game where you'll need to craft, brawl, and sneak your way out of some truly horrendous situations. Once it arrives it will feature 10 unique prisons to escape from, drop-in multiplayer for up to four players, support for a variety of different break-out playstyles, and so forth.

If you're wondering what all of this might look like in gameplay terms, wonder no more as the developers have recently released a brief yet informative trailer. Have a look:

Stromdorf Vermintide DLC screenshot of a graveyard

Given how many times my group ended up kicking the bucket when faced off against hundreds of rat-men I wouldn't exactly say that Vermintide is an easy game, but more optional challenges are always welcome. The recently launched Arrogance Lost Update has brought with it just that though a whole array of super-hard achievements, rebalanced items, as well as a brand new map by the name of Trial of the Foolhardy.

However, accessing this new and extremely tricky map is not going to be as simple as choosing it from the tavern. Instead you will need to solve a plethora of perplexing puzzles in the Wizard's Tower in order to unlock it, though what the puzzles are or where they are located the developers didn't share. So if you want to try your hand at potentially the most difficult map in the entirety of Vermintide it might be a good idea to start scouring the Wizard's Tower from top to bottom.

Mass Effect: Andromeda screenshot of the crew

The trial version of Mass Effect: Andromeda has been available for quite a while now to those that subscribe to Origin Access, but recently it has become available to the general public as well. So if you are wondering whether Mass Effect: Andromeda is as broken as people say, or if the numerous updates have managed to correct all of the issues, now would be a good time to find out.

Simply head over to the official website and you'll find download links for all three platforms. That said, the website has been unstable these past few hours, so if you're met with a blank screen, worry not as you can just go to whatever storefront your platform uses and grab it from there. For those of us on PC that would be Origin.

Arcanum high resolution patch screenshot of a boat

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is a truly brilliant oldschool RPG that has sadly suffered from a variety of annoying problems that have, ironically, made it far more obscure than it should've been. A lot of those problems have been fixed over the years thanks to the work of talented moders, and it is exactly one of these mods that has suddenly received an update after an 8-year-long break!

The newly updated Arcanum High Resolution Patch 1.5 brings with it a variety of bug fixes and visual clean-ups, a much larger and easier font to read, better compatibility with other mods, as well as numerous new options to tweak at your leisure. The whole list is fairly small despite its significance, so if you're interested in the details here they are:
