After a disappointing event back in May, Xbox Games is returning with another showcase next week, and according to marketing boss Aaron Greenberg it's going to be an hour of nothing but games.

Rainbow Six Siege’s latest Technical Test Server is trying out dramatic changes for Oryx, Gridlock, and Fuze aimed at making them more fun to play. The new balancing shifts aren’t guaranteed to make it to the live build, but tests like this are typically good indicators of what’s to come in Siege’s mid-season update.

https://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-is-getting-an-in-game-marketplace-for-selling-mods/
While Microsoft Flight Simulator promises to be absolutely massive, pilots are going to inevitably want more. It will launch with every airport in the world, from huge international ones to tiny landing strips in the middle of a field, and plenty of planes, but there are still gaps. That's where modders and add-on developers are going to come in.

https://www.pcgamer.com/assassins-creed-valhalla-has-mortal-kombat-style-x-ray-attacks/
Despite the series's increasingly high body count, Assassin's Creed isn't typically very gory, but that's set to change with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. We've already seen quite a bit of Eivor murdering their way through England with plenty of flair and brutality, and it looks like we'll also be able to see all that damage up close.

Worms Armageddon has been updated 21 years after it launched
https://www.pcgamer.com/worms-armageddon-has-been-updated-21-years-after-it-launched/
Invertebrate artillery game Worms Armageddon has quietly released an update 21 years after it first appeared on PC. Developer Team17 launched the game back in 1999, and it quickly gained popularity within the Worms community, making it one of the most popular games in the series.
The 3.8 update includes a bunch of bug fixes and changes, including popular mods that are now permanent features, like the physics mod RubberWorm. There are now 70 new scheme options letting you customise and tweak your matches how you like, so you can manipulate physics, have worms bounce around the map, and fire more than one weapon per turn.
