http://www.pcgamer.com/h1z1-update-adds-new-nighttime-skirmish-and-team-scoring/
H1Z1: King of the Kill's latest update introduces a bunch of tweaks, changes, and additions to Daybreak's battle royale shooter. Most notably for those who enjoy playing with friends, team scoring has arrived, which will display alongside individual performances at the end of the match. And, the matches will be ending in lots of new spots from now on: changes to the encircling cloud of death-gas means the final circle will end up in "thousands" of new spots, while other areas, like the edges of the map, have been removed as possible final showdown zones.

New report says Mass Effect: Andromeda isn't getting any single-player DLC
http://www.pcgamer.com/new-report-says-mass-effect-andromeda-isnt-getting-any-single-player-dlc/
We reported yesterday on a rumor that planned story DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda had been canceled because of the tepid response to the game and the changes that have taken place at BioWare as a result. The whole thing was quickly confirmed as a hoax—producer Mike Gamble said he'd "never heard of Sinclair Networks," the company that claimed to be developing the DLC—and that was the end of it.
Until today, that is, when Kotaku reported that the hoax actually got it right: According to three sources "familiar with BioWare's plans," Andromeda will not get any single-player DLC.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like if Batman took on an old-school dungeon crawler, then Fight Knight, which debuted (and was funded) today on Kickstarter might be something you'll want to take a look at. It's a game about a hard-punching knight—the Fight Knight, as you may have guessed—who embarks upon a quest to ascend "the Tower" armed with nothing but his clenched, armored fists.

 

Destiny 2's weapons and armor won't have random rolls
http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2s-weapons-and-armor-wont-have-random-rolls/
Earlier this week I wrote a feature outlining the nagging worries I have about Destiny 2’s design, a game I am otherwise almost uncomfortably excited about playing. Clearly inspired by the article, Bungie has decided to pile on a new worry. According to an E3 interview game director Luke Smith gave to Mashable, all the gear in the game—i.e. weapons and armor—will drop with set perk rolls.

http://www.pcgamer.com/dead-cells-update-adds-new-biome-monsters-gear/
People seem to be enjoying roguelike-ish, Metroidvania-esque platformer Dead Cells, and if you count yourself among their number, perhaps because you got a whopping saving on the game a few days ago, you might be pleased to hear that it's just received a new update that adds a brand new, mysterious biome, and more.

Hearthstone players will soon be able to purchase every set that's been released for the game. The return of outdated expansions comes as part of improvements being made to the Wild format and will make it easier for players to get their hands on powerful old cards like Haunted Creeper and Loatheb without having to craft them using arcane dust.

 

The Lion's Song's fourth and final episode out July 13
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-lions-songs-fourth-and-final-episode-out-july-13/
Cast your mind back to 2016, and you might remember a little adventure game named The Lion's Song, which released the second of its four chapters at around Christmas time. It's a game about art and science in Europe in the early 20th century, and that wonderfully fresh setting is supported by some lovely pixel art and music. I appear to have missed the launch of episode 3, but here's news that the fourth and final chapter of The Lion's Song will release in a couple of weeks, on July 13.

http://www.pcgamer.com/summer-games-done-quick-2017-has-kicked-off/
Summer Games Done Quick has officially kicked off, just in time to spend the first half of your working week surreptitiously watching people play video games in a tiny browser window. The seasonal speedrunning event is a fundraising drive for Doctors Without Borders, but it's also a good oppportunity to watch virtuosic gamers slay world records.

http://www.pcgamer.com/five-nights-at-freddys-6-gets-canned/
The Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has confirmed the next FNaF game has been cancelled—despite having spent the last month dropping hints regarding what it might entail.
Taking to a Steam community update post, Cawthon explains he simply no longer wants to work on the game and that he's been "neglecting other things in [his] life for the sake of trying to keep up with mounting expectations."

http://www.pcgamer.com/middle-earth-shadow-of-war-stream-teases-otherworldly-brawls-pc-graphics-settings/
When our James got to grips with Middle-earth: Shadow of War at last month's E3 he described it as a "violent Tolkien fan-fiction generator" whose "new tools at every level make for unpredictable, dramatic, and memorable encounters." Developer Monolith held a livestream this weekend that showcased some of the above, and also offered a glimpse at the Shadow of Mordor follow-up's PC settings.
