Bomber Crew is an upcoming "strategic survival sim" about building and piloting bomber planes. At first blush, it looks like FTL set in World War II instead of space, but a few wrinkles distinguish this neat-looking game from its procedurally generated brethren.

A new Overwatch patch went live today that restores Lucio's Wall Ride speed, gives a minor buff to Mercy's Valkyrie ability, and adds new voicelines for Cultist Zenyatta. Bug fixes have been made, and PC players can now take advantage of some new social tools as well, by setting their status to Online, Away, Busy, or Appear Offline—although that last one won't fool anyone in your friends list if you end up in the same match.

http://www.pcgamer.com/huge-battle-chasers-nightwar-patch-makes-it-less-grindy-and-more-difficult/
Battle Chasers: Nightwar has been a long time coming. We got our first proper look at the turn-based RPG earlier this year, but it's been in the oven ever since its developers, Airship Syndicate, grouped up following the closure of Darksiders developer Vigil Games. Now it's finally out, and it's had a rough time of it, with many players criticizing how grindy the later stages of the game can be. In a recent, massive patch, Airship Syndicate addressed several of these complaints.

http://www.pcgamer.com/sony-music-entertainment-has-opened-its-own-game-publishing-label/
It looks like Sony has grown tired of just having one video game company, after selling Sony Online Entertainment (now Daybreak Studios) a couple of years ago. Sony Music Entertainment is now throwing its hat in the ring, announcing the launch of its own publishing label, Unties.

>>I'm posting this because three of the four announced games will also come to PC.
