Tripwire promised that they would continue supporting Killing Floor 2 even after Early Access, and judging by the updates released so far they sure weren't kidding! The first major update in January added multi-perk weapons, a new Zed, as well as a new map, and already we're getting a whole bunch of new content.
The newly released Descent update brings with it two new maps to toy around with, Holdout as a sub-mode of Survival that drops players into a new random location with each wave, as well as a two new weapons. Fans of the original Firebug will be glad to hear that one of these weapons is the ridiculously awesome dual flare gun revolvers, while those of you that prefer shooting enemies in the face might be interested in the new Stoner 63a LMG as it packs one hell of a punch.

The official remaster for Pathologic was successfully Kickstarted back in the ancient times of 2014, and after quite a few years the developers now finally have a playable demo for everyone to toy around with. The Marble Nest demo will take you around two hours to complete, and while its essentially a short spin-off story it should still give you a good idea of what exactly Pathologic is all about.

[Update]: Orisa has now arrived to the live servers (both PC and consoles) alongside a sizable balance patch!
Overwatch's 24th hero Orisa spent the past three weeks on the PTR, and after a surprisingly low amount of changes she is now finally coming to the live servers as well. To be more specific, you'll be able to mess around with Orisa at some point later today, most likely three hours from now.
However, according to Blizzard's recent announcement you will not be able to choose Orisa in Competitive Play for an entire week after release. But worry not, she will be fully available in every other game mode: Quick Play, Arcade, Play vs AI, and even in custom games.

Back in July Sega announced that we will be getting two new Sonic games in 2017: one inspired by the original classic, and the other a modern 3D game. The first game turned out to be Sonic Mania, and if all of the recent preview trailers are any judge its going to be one hell of a Sonic game given how closely it emulates what made the original so good.
As for the 3D Sonic game, it has now finally received an official title alongside its very first gameplay trailer. So if you're interested in seeing what Sonic Forces is all about, here's the recently posted teaser video showcasing what I can only assume is the first level:

If you've stopped playing Mass Effect: Andromeda due to technical issues on the PC it might be time to give it another spin as a new update has just arrived. There are unfortunately no official patch notes, but what I can tell you is that the update brings with fixes for the black screen bug, multiplayer sound issues, and problems with the Corsair Utility Engine.
According to Mass Effect: Andromeda's Producer Fernando Melo there will also be some server side fixes coming in the near future, possibly even today. Once again there is no detailed information, but the upcoming changes should finally make some of the clearly bugged Challenges actually completable.

[Update]: Six years after its launch, the boss-battling action game Furi is getting a brand new character!
Furi is an extremely challenging action game where you don't fight against hordes of monsters, but rather duel against a wide assortment of bosses. Its all about learning your enemy's patterns, dodging their attacks, seeking out openings, and then striking the moment an opportunity presents itself.
While the bosses that originally launched with Furi are pretty damn though, the newly released "One More Fight" DLC offers perhaps the hardest challenge yet. If you're up for a bit of a preview of what exactly The Flame can do, look no further than the video below:

Total War: Warhammer has a lot of paid DLC, there is no denying that fact, but many people tend to overlook the amount of free content added with each update. Since launch Creative Assembly has added a ton of new maps, a brand new map editor with Steam Workshop support, two new factions to play against on the world map, a bunch of Legendary Lords and units, as well as a whole host of new magic to mess around.
While the volume of all of the content should speak for itself, apparently Creative Assembly is still getting enough hate-mail to warrant creating a "Free Content Montage" video. So if you're interested in a bit of... unique video that covers all of the new additions to Total War: Warhammer you'll find it right below. Have a look:

Grinding Gear Games have recently announced that their launch of Path of Exile Update 2.6.0 has been met with a 40-percent increase in the number of players online. What might come as the biggest surprise is that this isn't a massive update by any stretch, just the beginning of a new season and a whole bunch of balance changes.
In terms of numbers the launch of the Legacy Challenge League has achieved a peak online player count of 112,800, with 65,000 of those players coming from Steam alone. But perhaps most impressively, when you count this recent update Path of Exile has more than doubled its playerbase within the span of nine months!
