Don't Starve Together, the co-op multiplayer version of the horrible-death simulator Don't Starve, is set to leave Early Access on April 21 as the developers have finally reached full parity with the base game.
After many months of working on "old" content, the team is now getting ready to start flexing their creative muscles, and begin work on an original expansion/update to Don't Stave Together, titled simply as Through the Ages.

Blizzard's classic games team is at it again, this time around with the second official patch for Diablo 2 after many, many years of silence.
Today's update, titled simply as 1.14b, brings fixes aimed specifically at frame rate issues, Mercenaries, and Mac-client crashes. Here are the rather brief, but very welcome patch notes:

Steamforged has announced that they are partnering up with Namco Bandai and developing an official board game set in the Dark Souls universe, which instantly makes me imagine a deck of cards where each one simply ready "x happens, and then you die", words that mostly summarize my Dark Souls 3 experience so far.
The Dark Souls board game will be appearing on Kickstarter later this month, and while this would usually be rather damning news for a new product, Steamforged have already managed to fund a board game with Kickstarter, a medieval fantasy version of football called Guild Ball, and deliver on all of their promises.

Psyonix has announced today that despite their best efforts, Nosgoth, the competitive multiplayer spin-off on the Legacy of Kain series, is being shut down due to a lack of players.
I can't even express how much this news hurts since I've played over 100 hours of Nosgoth, and enjoyed it greatly, so much so that one of the first articles I ever wrote (and believe me when I say, it shows when I look back at it) was to tell everyone how awesome it really is, and now its going away...

Did you ever wish you could play as one of the numerous Killing Floor zombies and deliver righteous vengeance against that one teammate that somehow always seems to die, and then beg for money? Well now you can!
Killing Floor 2's Revenge of the Zeds Update has arrived, and it brought with it playable zombies, new weapons, a new prison map, a crafting system, and achievements (including one where you have to pick up the soap, details behind which I don't think I want to know).

Creative Assembly has revealed the first bits of Total War: Warhammer footage that involve the forces of Chaos doing what they do best, but what should be an exciting occasion is currently being met with a fair share of anger given that the most iconic Warhammer faction is being used to sell pre-orders.
The good news is that everyone will be able to fight against Chaos, DLC or not, with the Vampire Counts having one of their major campaign objectives revolve around pushing the Chaos forces further in to the North. Controversial DLC aside, here's something that everyone can agree looks pretty good, the battle between the Empire and Chaos:

Its not an easy task to get your crowdfunding campaign to attract the necessary amount of people these days, as the Consortium: The Tower developers know full well given that their Kickstarter in January failed before even reaching the halfway point.
Rather than simply give up after a rather crushing defeat, the developers opted to go with a "drastic" plan B, which turned out to be a recently launched Fig campaign that is currently well on its way towards reaching the $300,000 goal through a combination of investments, and pledges. Here's a brief video explaining what exactly Consortium: The Tower is all about:

The previous Battlefleet Gothic: Armada trailer featured a whole legion of Orks 'singing' so poorly it could make one wish for the Inquisition to take them away, rather than to endure that torment for much longer.
Thankfully, the Eldar have arrived with their own trailer that puts a swift end to the Ork's verbal rampage, though the end result is that we now have to endure the Eldar's insufferable smugness, but such is the fate of the Warhammer 40k universe. Here's the trailer:

You have to hand it to Nintendo's lawyers, they react with frankly inhuman speed when it comes to copyright infringements. It took Blizzard years to shut down the biggest private Vanilla WoW server, and here we have Nintendo bringing down the axe within mere days.
As noted on the Zelda Tribute website, the voxel-based 3D remake of 'The Legend of Zelda' has been taken down due to a cease & desist letter from Nintendo, though the developers haven't given up on their labor of love as they now aim to replace all of the sprites with their own originals:

[Update] The open beta ends on April 17, not 18.
Those that pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order have been blowing each other to bits in the closed Doom beta for about a week now, and soon enough we'll all have a chance to throw our own hats in to the ring as the open beta has been scheduled to start on April 15, and last till April 17.
The beta will not require any type of code to play, you will simply be able to log in with the platform of your choice and start blasting away in either Team Deathmatch, or Warpath modes on the two currently available maps: Heatwave and Infernal. Along with this announcement came news of the upcoming Doom DLCs packs, and unfortunately, this is where the good news stops.
