Second, and also last, part of the news:

 

'XCOM-meets-Braid' tactics game All Walls Must Fall targets early access next month
http://www.pcgamer.com/xcom-meets-braid-tactics-game-all-walls-must-fall-targets-early-access-next-month/
Inbetweengames' "tech-noir tactics" game All Walls Must Fall wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year to the tune of $36,576. All told, that's well over double its original ask, which may be why it's heading to Steam's Early Access initiative and itch.io a month ahead of schedule.

 

Wolfenstein 2 season pass will include three new stories with all-new heroes
http://www.pcgamer.com/wolfenstein-2-season-pass-will-include-three-new-stories-with-all-new-heroes/
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is now just three months away, which makes this a fine time indeed for Bethesda to reveal the details of the season pass, entitled Wolfenstein 2: The Freedom Chronicles, and the introductory chapter preorder bonus.

 

Doomfist is now playable on Overwatch's live servers
http://www.pcgamer.com/doomfist-is-now-playable-on-overwatchs-live-servers/
Today is July 27, and you know what that means, right? Doomfist, the man whose knuckles look like a row of Volkswagen Beetles lined up on a dealer lot, is now live in Overwatch. And that, my friends, means it's time to watch a video.

 

Overwatch update: Zarya and McCree buffs, Reinhardt hammer fix, and new Highlight system
http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-update/
The mighty Doomfist has arrived—read more about the big bad brawler here—but there's also a new patch today as well. This one brings about the changes to loot boxes announced in June that will drastically reduce the number of duplicate items that players encounter, and also the updated Highlight systempromised by game director Jeff Kaplan.

 

Civilization 6 update finally adds a restart button, Nubia DLC out now
http://www.pcgamer.com/civilization-6-update-finally-adds-a-restart-button-nubia-dlc-out-now/
Nubia joins Civilization 6's cast today, along with a scenario which pits the ancient Nile civilization against its neighbor to the north, Egypt. That DLC will set you back five bucks (or £4.50) if you don't have the Deluxe Edition, and will appeal to fans of slinging missiles: Nubia is graced with +50% Production toward ranged units, which also earn promotions at double the normal rate, and the Pitati Archer, a stronger, faster (harder and better) unit to replace the normal archer.

>>Besides that, the game is also one of Steam's deal for the weekend, with the available with a 33% discount.

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-debut-trailer-for-descenders-showcases-risky-downhill-freeriding/
"The PC needs a new skateboarding game," we said back in May, and that remains the situation because, sorry to say, we're still not getting one. But we are getting something that might just scratch the sports on wheels itch: Descenders, an "extreme downhill freeriding" game that new indie publisher No More Robots described as "essentially Skate on bikes."

 

Arthas is coming to Hearthstone
http://www.pcgamer.com/arthas-is-coming-to-hearthstone/
Spoiler season is in full swing for Hearthstone's next expansion, the Lich King-flavoured (probably an appalling taste, to be fair) Knights of the Frozen Throne, which is due to arrive some time in August. You can check out our complete gallery of cards revealed so far—Corpsetaker looks very spicy in the right deck—but today we're talking about the new mission content, and the rewards coming with it.

 

A popular comedy sex game has been removed from Steam over 'pornography' complaints
http://www.pcgamer.com/a-popular-comedy-sex-game-has-been-removed-from-steam-over-pornography-complaints/
After one month of being on sale in Early Access, House Party has been removed from Steam pending a 'watered down' version of the game, as stated by the developers at Eek! Games in a blog post on the take down.
The devs don't have beef with Steam though, shifting the blame to aggressive, targeted complaints from groups bothered by House Party from day one.

>>Prudes, always looking for what they hate the most to shut it down and forbid the rest of us from doing whatever we want. Anyway, I wonder what will happen with those that bought the game. Will they be able to get the real thing or will they be able to ask for a refund?

 

The Long Dark's European rating has been raised to PEGI-16, delays won't affect PC players
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-long-darks-european-rating-has-been-raised-to-pegi-16-wont-affect-pc-players/
Hinterland Studio's The Long Dark is a wonderful open world survival game that's spent the last three years scavenging the depths of Steam's Early Access initiative. As you may've spied back in May, its long-awaited Story Mode and subsequent full release are both due on August 1 which, you may also have noticed, is next week.

 

The Escapists 2 showcases its outer space-set U.S.S Anomaly prison
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-escapists-2-showcases-its-outer-space-set-uss-anomaly-prison/
Announced last October, Mouldy Toof and Team17's jailbreaker sequel The Escapists 2 is due to launch on August 22. Today it's showing off one of its more interesting prisons: the space-set U.S.S Anomaly.

 

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is now free to play on Steam until July 30th
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/call-of-duty-infinite-warfare-is-now-free-to-play-on-steam-until-july-30th/
Activision has launched a free weekend for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. This basically means that PC gamers can download and play Infinite Warfare for free until July 30th. Do note that you won’t be able to keep this game yours afterwards (in other words, this is a free-to-play and not a free offer).

>>Of course, that is if you're able to make it run, because reading the user reviews, that alone seems to be a challenging mission. But hey, if you make it work and you also happen to like it, let me tell you that it's also 50% off if you decide to purchase it.
