The second, and last, part of the news:

 

Shadows: Awakening is a tactical 'real time combat' isometric ARPG, due next year
http://www.pcgamer.com/shadows-awakening-is-a-tactical-real-time-combat-isometric-arpg-due-next-year/
Kalypso Media and Game Farm have announced Shadows: Awakening—a new action role-player with "real time tactical combat" that marks the next chapter in the Heretics fantasy series.

 

Mount & Blade 2 release date won't be revealed at Gamescom and this is why
http://www.pcgamer.com/mount-blade-2-release-date-wont-be-revealed-at-gamescom-and-this-is-why/
A couple of weeks ago, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord developer Taleworlds Entertainment kicked off a new weekly developers blog as part of its effort to be more transparent and communicative with its fans. But while those fans were surely hoping it would communicate a release date in fairly short order—especially with the big Gamescom show looming—the studio explained in today's blog that it's not going to happen.

 

Dishonored 2: Death of the Outsider trailer re-introduces Billie Lurk
http://www.pcgamer.com/dishonored-2-death-of-the-outsider-trailer-re-introduces-billie-lurk/
Billie Lurk has played a prominent role throughout the mythos of Dishonored: She was present at the assassination of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, aided Daud throughout the Knife of Dunwall expansion, and even gets some work in Dishonored 2. For that game's expansion, the upcoming Death of the Outsider, she finally becomes the star, and so fittingly Bethesda has put out a new teaser revealing more about who she is and what she brings to the table.

 

You're twice as likely to be struck by lightning than win your first game of Battlegrounds
http://www.pcgamer.com/pubg-stats/
Only one in 6,000 people win their first game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. That means, of the 7 million copies sold, only around 1,166 people were so skilled (or lucky) to have been the last person standing after their first game. I'm going to make the bold assumption that they all read our guide before playing. Considering I still have friends that, after hundreds of hours, still haven't won their chicken dinner, that's impressive. What's even crazier is that your odds of being struck by lightning in your lifetime are twice that.

 

Quake-inspired FPS Dusk's first episode is available now
http://www.pcgamer.com/quake-inspired-fps-dusks-first-episode-is-available-now/
The retro-FPS Dusk, as we said in our preview earlier this week, is "not shy about its Quake-and-Doom inspiration." It's fast, bloody, loud (Brutal Doom composer Andrew Hulshult created the soundtrack), and looks (and plays) like it fell out a rupture in the space-time continuum that leads directly back to 1994. It is also, with very little fanfare, now available for pre-purchase on Steam.

 

Blizzard teases a 'reveal event' and new Overwatch animated short for Gamescom
http://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-teases-a-reveal-event-and-new-overwatch-animated-short-for-gamescom/
Blizzard has announced its schedule of events for the upcoming Gamescom show in Germany, which will including the debut of a new Overwatch animated short, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft pro play, dance and cosplay contests, and a mysterious "reveal ceremony."

 

Action-survival game Praey for the Gods adds Breath of the Wild-style climbing
http://www.pcgamer.com/action-survival-game-praey-for-the-gods-adds-breath-of-the-wild-style-climbing/
Shadow of the Colossus-inspired action-survival game Praey for the Gods has been trucking along since hitting its Kickstarter goal in 2016, with regular newsletter updates charting its progress (though it was last in the news for having to change its name after a trademark dispute with Bethesda). The latest newsletter doesn't show off any god-slaying combat, but it does show off something almost as enticing: a new climbing system that lets you grappling-hook to any rock surface and climb, climb, climb. Developer NoMatter Studios doesn't specifically call out The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as an inspiration, here, but it's a safe bet the freedom of the latest Zelda has made everyone reconsider the climbing in their games.

 

Rainbow Six Siege's forthcoming Theme Park map showcased in new trailer
http://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-sieges-new-theme-park-map-showcased-in-new-trailer/
Ubisoft has released some footage of Rainbow Six Siege's forthcoming Theme Park map, and it's very moody indeed. The map will rollout alongside the Operation Red Orchid expansion, which will also feature two new operators – though details on these won't be released until Gamescom later this month.

 

Bandai Namco's 'mysterious' #Projekt1514 is a new Sword Art Online game, coming to PC
http://www.pcgamer.com/bandai-namco-teases-mysterious-projekt1514/
After being teased as #Projekt1514 earlier this week, it appears Bandai Namco's incoming "mysterious" project is a new Sword Art Online game that's coming to PC.

 

Planet Coaster adds real life world record-breaking ride months ahead of time
http://www.pcgamer.com/planet-coaster-adds-real-life-world-record-breaking-ride-months-ahead-of-time/
Planet Coaster is known for its masterfully-crafted movie-inspired creations, however its latest bout of art imitating life is tied to a real life world record-breaking rollercoaster.
