After releasing an uninspired piece of DLC for the otherwise excellent Chivalry: Medieval Warfare the developers Torn Banner Studios slowly went silent.

Despite not having enough time to go through the 7 week orientation course to get good at Europa Universalis IV it still remains one of my favorite strategy games out there, for the simple reason that it doesn't compromise in order to appeal to everyone and instead just focuses on being the best game it can be.
It also helps that Europa Universalis IV receives frequent high quality DLCs (and some complete fluff) that have improved upon almost every aspect of gameplay, from warfare to colonization and now even maritime activities with the the upcoming Mare Nostrum (Our Sea in Latin) expansion. Here's the trailer and a bit more information:

After the massive success of Life is Strange the Paris based developer Dontnod announced that they would be transitioning from a coming-of-age adventure to a more serious action/RPG where you play as a doctor who has been inflicted with the Vampire plague.
While there is very little information about Vampyr right now the developers did release a couple of intriguing, but incredibly dark screenshots. I've taken the liberty of increasing the gamma slightly so you can actually see some of the details but if you're interested in the original screenshots in all of their dark glory head over to the Vampyr website. Here are the actually visible ones:
