If you haven't been following the story, Five Nights at Freddy's themed RPG FNaF World showed up on Steam a full month before its official release date in a rather unfinished state which resulted in so many complaints Scott Cawthon, the creator of the FNaF franchise, went on to publicly apologize for it.
And Scott, being the stand up guy that he is, simply couldn't continue selling FNaF World amidst so many complaints so he has pulled the game from Steam and offered full refunds to everyone, regardless of time played. Here's the announcement message:

Oh how things have changed. Back when Mighty No. 9's Kickstarter first launched everyone was excited about the prospect of a new Megaman game without any corporate nonsense blocking its development and now, three delays and a heavily mismanaged campaign later, most of that excitement has turned to doubt and anger.
Mighty No. 9 was supposed to launch this February 9th but due to problems with the network modes and porting to various platforms its being delayed until Spring 2016. Here's what Keiji Inafune, the main man behind the game, had to say about the delay:

The Harvest Moon series has always been an oddity for me. I'm the type of person that enjoys high-paced competitive games yet for some reason I've spent far more hours than I am willing to admit tending to my farm and raising innumerable hordes of chickens.
There aren't many life sim games on the PC, if there are any at all, so I'm really happy to tell you that World's Dawn, a Harvest Moon inspired life sim, is making its way to Steam today (January 25th). Here's the trailer:

If this is your first time hearing about it, Yandere Simulator is a bit of an insane upcoming game where you take control of a psychotic schoolgirl who has a crush on a fellow student and will do anything to ensure that he doesn't end up with any other girl. In essence its a hitman game, just with a lot more schoolgirls and torture.
The reason I'm mentioning Yandere Simulator now is because it recently got banned from Twitch, one of the rare few games that ever got that sort of treatment. And according to a video posted by the main developer himself he can't even get a response from Twitch on the issue. Here's the video:

A short while ago Blizzard first announced the two upcoming Diablo themed heroes, Xul the Necromancer (pictured above) from Diablo 2 and Li Ming the Wizard from Diablo 3.
Even though I expected the two heroes to be showcased not too long after the announcement I'm surprised to see that their character models and abilities (in Li Ming's case) are already finished. Take a look for yourself:

The OpenMW project has been in development for quite a while now but only with the recent release of update 0.38 did I learn of its existence and rather noble purpose.
OpenMW is a modern open source engine which aims to reimplement and extend various features present in the original Morrowind engine in order to improve upon both the game and its mod support. As of right now its still under heavy development but through frequent and extensive updates OpenMW is getting closer to its vision with every passing month.
Here's a bit more information on the project and what it aims to accomplish before its 1.0 release:

Starward Rogue is a roguelite/SHMUP (shoot 'em up) hybrid with hundreds of items & enemies, randomized level layouts and many bosses to fight. Most importantly, it has full mod support allowing you to either customize the game or simply take it upon yourself to add more content to it.
I'm a big fan of the roguelike genre so I tend to keep an eye on upcoming games but even to me Starward Rogue's release was a complete surprise. Since it really does look interesting I figured I would share a bit of information on it with you, starting with the trailer:

If this is your first time hearing about Endless Legend it is a 4X turn-based strategy game in vein of the Civilization series but with much more diverse factions and interesting game world.

And according to a recent Twitch stream celebrating "Endless Day" its set to become even better as a new expansion titled Shifters is set to arrive on April 2016. The developers Amplitude didn't release much about the expansion but here's what we do know:

Despite being a month too early Five Nights at Freddy's themed RPG FNaF World materialized itself on Steam yesterday and drew more than fair share of criticism over bugs and missing content.
A short while late Scott Cawthon, the creator of the entire FNaF franchise, came out and apologized over releasing the game far too early, even for his standards. Here's the message:
