The Overwatch Uprising brawl will return on April 10, Blizzard announced today, taking players back to "a pivotal moment in Overwatch history" when the team fought against rampaging Omnics in the city of London.

 

PC Building Simulator lands on Steam Early Access, overclocking support coming
https://www.pcgamer.com/pc-building-simulator-lands-on-steam-early-access-overclocking-support-coming/
Remember PC Building Simulator? It's still a work in progress, but has graduated to Steam Early Access and, from what we can discern from the trailer video and screenshots, is much more polished than the last time we looked at it.

>>I don't know if I should laugh or be impressed by how serious the guys behind this game are. I think I'll do both.

 

Superb stealth game Mark of the Ninja is getting remastered
https://www.pcgamer.com/superb-stealth-game-mark-of-the-ninja-is-getting-remastered/
Mark of the Ninja: Remastered will freshen up one of our all-time favorite stealth games later this year, developer Klei Entertainment announced.
A standout even among Klei Entertainment's sterling repertoire, Mark of the Ninja originally released in 2012, and while its cartoony art has aged well, Klei reckons it could do with a tune-up. So for the remaster, they're targeting "fully redone 4K visuals for both gameplay and cutscenes along with enhanced audio and new particle effects."

 

Aragami: Nightfall introduces new characters, powers, and 'complex scenarios'
https://www.pcgamer.com/aragami-nightfall-introduces-new-characters-powers-and-complex-scenarios/
The Nightfall expansion will see two Shadow Assassins, Hyo and Shinobu, hunt down the Alchemist in an effort to bring back a long-lost companion, a tale told across four new story chapters recounting the events that led to the awakening of Aragami. The Steam page promises "more complex scenarios for experienced players," with three new Shadow Techniques and support for cross-platform multiplayer.

 

PUBG's latest limited-time Event Mode is live and focused on flares
https://www.pcgamer.com/pubgs-first-limited-time-event-mode-is-live-and-focussed-on-flares/
Flares have been added to PlayerUnknown's Battleground? Nice! The game definitely needs better clothes. Not sure how I feel about bell-bottomed breeches, mind you, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

 

Dying Light's free 'Content Drop #4' is a new Prison Heist mode
https://www.pcgamer.com/dying-lights-free-content-drop-4-is-a-new-prison-heist-mode/
Dying Light continues its 10in12 loyalty bonus initiative with Content Drop #4 and Content Drop #5. So far, the free-stuff-for-playing run has given us weapons, attachments and community events. Number four, on the other hand, brings with it a new mode named Prison Heist.

 

Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 join GOG with limited-time 50 percent discounts

"We've known each other for many years, but this is first time you've come to me for help," says Vito Corleone to Amerigo Bonasera in the opening scene of The Godfather. Swap out the word 'help' for 'the chance to discuss selling Mafia on our digital storefront', and I imagine that's how GOG secured Illusion Softworks' 2002 open world crime sim last year.
I suspect a similar strategy was behind bringing Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 to the online distributor too, which means the organised crime series is now available to play DRM-free in its entirety. To mark the occasion, each game is subject to a limited-time 50 percent discount—66 percent if pick them up together. Is that an offer you can't refuse? You tell me.
