Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, the first single-player Mechwarrior to come along since 2002 and the third in the series to be subtitled Mercenaries (it's a popular theme), finally arrives on December 10. With the big day looming, developer Piranha Games has dropped a launch trailer showcasing all sorts of things getting blown up real good, and also—more usefully—nailed down the hardware specs you'll need to run it.

Ashen's Epic Store exclusivity ends, it's now on Steam and GOG

A little over a year ago, action RPG Ashen from AA4 and Annapurna Interactive was one of the most wishlisted games on Steam. That changed abruptly when Ashen became one of the first Epic Games Store limited exclusives, along with Supergiant Games' RPG Hades, which pushed back its Steam release by a full year.
That year has come and gone (somehow) and Ashen is now available on Steam and GOG. (Hades launches on Steam tomorrow). As you might expect for a game that's been out on another platform for a year, Ashen is discounted 20% on both sites, though it remains at full price on EGS. Purchasing it bundled with its Nightstorm Isle DLC from Steam will also get you a 20% discount, and the DLC can be purchased separately for 20% off on GOG as well.

But the big addition this year is Rachel Clamely, making her Killing Floor 2 debut as a tough new boss known as The Matriarch.

Resident Evil 3 Remake has been announced by Capcom, if the box art appearing on PSN wasn't enough to convince you.

Give the trailer a watch above.
