Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is a 3D action-RPG with some beat'em up elements mixed in for good measure. While it will feature a lot of the same characters from the series The Chamber of Time will be its own self-contained storyline, so in theory it should be welcoming to both new players and seasoned fans alike.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in-game, wonder no more as Bandai Namco has released a decently lengthy trailer showcasing just that. I've never seen the show myself, but I'm pretty sure the first ~30 seconds are not in-game footage, though everything beyond that appears to be the real deal. Oh, and I hope you don't mind the entire trailer being in Japanese! Have a look:

Star Citizen's development may be moving at a glacial pace, but to the developer's credit it really is chugging along quite nicely. It was only 'a short while ago' that Star Citizen got updated with an FPS module, and soon we will be getting a whole bunch of new content to explore as well.
The Alpha 3.0 Update will add moon landings and explorable surfaces, a planetary rover so you don't have to moonwalk everywhere, and even perhaps most interestingly of all, an incredibly fast hover-bike! You can check out what some of these features look like in game via the recently posted teaser video, courtesy of PC Gamer. Have a look:

Given the positive user and critic reviews it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that Dying Light is highly successful, but what might come as a surprise is that its so successful it still has over 500,000 players each and every week, 3 years since launch! In order to celebrate this momentous milestone, and most likely lead up to a Dying Light 2 announcement, the developers have just revealed their plans for 10 more pieces of free DLC over the next 12 months.
While the details are still unknown, these DLCs will bring with them new and more challenging enemies to face off against, a variety of interesting events to participate in, new mysteries to uncover, and "much, much more". Most importantly of all, these DLCs won't just be cosmetic fluff - they will be actual content designed to improve Dying Light's longevity. As a simple teaser of things to come, DLC #0 will bring with it new human and zombie enemies in the near future.

The Ni No Kuni series of RPGs has been exclusively available on consoles and portable platforms ever since its inception, but this will thankfully be changing with Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom as it will be coming to PC as well as PS4. The details are still a bit shaky, but you can expect to see an open world full of towns, villages, and dungeons to explore, as well as a whole bunch of overly cutesy enemies to ruthlessly beat up.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in gameplay terms, wonder no more as the developers have released a rather lengthy gameplay video where they go over pretty much every mechanic and detail. So if you're interested in Ni No Kuni 2, make sure to give the video a look:

The Celestial Storm Update has just arrived to Trion World's MMORPG Rift, bringing with it so much content the developers are comfortable claiming there's "hundreds of hours" of it to explore. There's four new Primalist Souls to play around with, the Vostigar Peaks overland zone to wonder across, a whole bunch of new questlines, all new Raid Rifts, and the list goes on.
You can learn more by heading over to the official website, but do keep in mind that concrete information is a bit hard to find right now. If you just want the short version, however, here's the extremely brief teaser trailer showing off some of the new content:

Back in July of 2016 Sega announced that we will be getting two new Sonic games in 2017: one inspired by the original classics, and the other a modern 3D game. The 2D game ended up being Sonic Mania, a seemingly excellent adaptation of the classic Sonic games, while the 3D game has since been revealed as the somewhat silly but still intriguing Sonic Forces.
Over the past few months Sega revealed quite a few gameplay details for Sonic Forces, painting it to be a bit of a spiritual successor to Sonic Colors - a game most Sonic fans can agree on liking. However, they also released a bunch of story-related information and trailers, and these have been about as bizarre as you can possibly imagine. If you're not sure what exactly I'm talking about, I welcome you to check out the recently posted "Enter Infinite" trailer that showcases the new 'big bad'. Have a look:

Out of all the characters in World of Warcraft I am fairly certain Garrosh Hellscream is the most divisive one. Some hate him because he was essentially forced into a major role without having even a tiny bit of characterization, while others love him because he's exactly that - a brute that never wanted supreme power, yet ended up having to deal with the consequences nonetheless.
Whatever the case may be, death does not appear to be a major obstacle for Garrosh as Blizzard has just announced that he will be the next character to join the Heroes of the Storm roster. Twitter's embedding feature is a bit awkward to use, so if you're interested in seeing what he will look like you should head over to the original tweet.

If the name doesn't ring a bell, Shelob was the giant spider that poisoned Frodo in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. She was not, however, just any random overgrown spider. She was the spawn of Ungoliant, a primordial being of darkness that took the shape of a truly terrifying and gigantic spider.
Given her lineage it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that Shelob herself posses quite a few powers, but what might come as a surprise is that in Shadow of War she is very... non-spider-like. You'll see what I mean through the recently posted teaser trailer right below. Have a look:

During the recent Norsca faction reveal Creative Assembly teased the upcoming arrival of an "old friend". As it turns out, the old friend is the former champion of the Blood God himself, Krell the Lord of Undeath. Not exactly my first pick as far as friends go, but I suppose he does come quite handy in a fight.
Krell is now available as an exclusive summon for the Vampire Count Legendary Lord Heinrich Kemmler. While he does constantly decay on the battlefield Krell is an incredibly powerful fighter that's fully capable of cleaving straight through entire legions of enemy infantry. He's also quite strong when it comes to facing down enemy heroes in 1v1 duels, though he will need a couple of buffs and heals from Kemmler in order to not crumble into dust mid-way.

The Just Cause 3: Multiplayer Mod has been around for quite a while now, but as of today its also available on Steam! So if you own Just Cause 3 and want to see what kind of nonsense you can get up to with a hundred people on the same server, now would be the best time to do so as the multiplayer population has undoubtedly gotten a big boost from the Steam launch.
Before you jump in, however, it is important to note that Just Cause 3 was never designed with multiplayer in mind, and as such this mod has sadly been unsuccessful in getting the NPCs to work. Trying to sync up hundreds of NPCs and players at the same time has simply proven to be too great of a task, so until Avalanche Studios finally decide to tackle the problem themselves you're just going to have to settle with shooting other people in the face instead.
