Valve updates Artifact FAQ with new launch details
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-updates-artifact-faq-with-new-launch-details/
(...) I would say Valve has a tricky job to do explaining the game to the huddled masses who are used to fighting on a single board. To help that process, over the weekend Valve updated its FAQ page with more information on Artifact's launch and beyond. I'm unclear exactly which sections were added, but we do now know what the $19.99 pre-order will get you: 10 booster packs, 5 event tickets (which grant access to 'Gauntlets' that you'd otherwise need to pay for because they grant prizes), and two starter decks: Red/Green 'Brawler' and Blue/Black 'Control'.

https://www.pcgamer.com/battle-princess-madelyn-which-was-co-designed-by-a-7-year-old-will-be-out-soon/
Battle Princess Madelyn is a pixel-art platformer being created by a seven-year-old girl, Madelyn Obritsch, with able assistance from her father Christopher and his cohorts at indie studio Causal Bit Games. It's the result of a very successful 2017 Kickstarter campaign, which emerged from a conversation between the two about who can and can't be a videogame hero, and today they announced that it will be available on Steam on December 6.
Overwatch's new hero Ashe and her best buddy B.O.B. are now live
https://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-update/
Overwatch patch 1.30—the one with Ashe—is now live, meaning that the new, white-haired gunslinger is off the PTR and playable by everyone. That is the good news—the bad news is that this is the major update that Blizzard warned last week will require a full reinstallation of the game. Because of that, Blizzard shared some tips in the Overwatch forums to help ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Fortnite's glider redeploy mechanic is being removed from default game modes
https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnites-glider-redeploy-mechanic-is-being-removed-from-default-game-modes/
In the Fortnitemares v6.20 update, Epic enabled glider redeployment in all Fortnite game modes, meaning players could pull out their glider at any time so long as they were three units or higher. What was meant to be a week-long test has extended into two, with players both fuming over and celebrating the massive buff to mobility.
But today Epic stated that it's rolling back the glider redeployment change in tomorrow's v6.30 update, restricting it to big team game modes where it was first conceived.
November is absolutely packed with cool Monster Hunter: World events
https://www.pcgamer.com/november-is-absolutely-packed-with-cool-monster-hunter-world-events/
Capcom does not want you, or I, or anyone else to stop hunting monsters for one damn second. On November 16, it's launching Monster Hunter: World's special crossover event with Devil May Cry, which will last for two weeks and includes a number of special items, including a Dante-themed sword and armor set. At the same time, Capcom's also going to be running another event, with a new Elder Dragon to fight: Lunastra. Both events come hot on the heels of the Halloween Harvest update, which had its own bevy of special armor and weapons, and a special 16-player raid against one of the game's biggest monsters, Kulve Taroth, which is actually still ongoing.
