Bravery Network Online, a stylish RPG where you can unbutton your shirt for massive damage, is coming to Steam early access this month.
Revealed at the PC Gaming Show all the way back in 2018, Bravery Network is a nod to the competitive Pokémon scene—albeit one where instead of a lightning rat punching a dragon, you're pitting 5-man squads of impeccably dressed fighters against each other.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic means that the next BlizzCon event will be held entirely online, and more happily it also means that the whole thing will be free for everyone. The two-day event will run February 19-20, and today Blizzard shared more details about what viewers can look forward to.

Apex Legends could get Fortnite-style game-changing live events someday
https://www.pcgamer.com/apex-legends-could-get-fortnite-style-game-changing-live-events-someday/
Apex Legends is an excellent battle royale, but one thing it doesn't offer (that some of its competitors do) is live events that actually change the course of the game. When Fortnite's Marvel themed season 4 came to a Galactus-fueled finish, for instance, the whole thing wrapped up in a big-ass in-game event; by comparison, the arrival of Fuse in Apex Legends and all the changes it wrought unfolded entirely through cinematic trailers like the one up above.

Lady Dimitrescu, the tall lady from Resident Evil Village, is officially tall. After a few weeks of fan speculation regarding how tall Lady Dimitrescu is (is her seeming tallness born of an awkward camera perspective? Is her seeming tallness a result of her witches being short?) Capcom has issued some important clarification: She's tall to the tune of 2.9 metres. That's about nine feet, six inches.

(...)
Landing on Steam Early Access just under two weeks back, Dyson Sphere Program is Factorio on a galactic scale. Developer Youthcat has since announced that the game sold over 350,000 copies in its first week, topping Steam's weekly top sellers charts in its second.
Alongside that news, Youthcat outlined a short roadmap of some of the more immediate additions coming to Dyson's production line. Basic logistics for transporting goods, upgrading building by popping new versions on top of existing structures, and keybind support should all make their way into the game before February 11th.

Listen, Google Translate isn't terrible in a pinch. If you need to quickly work out how to say "sandwich" in German, it'll do. Unfortunately, Tabletop Simulator developer Berserk discovered the hard way that you can't replace a full localisation team with Google's web tool.

Destiny 2's Season of the Chosen launches next week, with some classic Strikes and a new matchmade activity
https://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2s-season-of-the-chosen-launches-next-week-with-some-classic-strikes-and-a-new-matchmade-activity/
Bungie has announced Season of the Chosen, the next chapter of Destiny 2's Beyond Light era, due out next week on February 9.
The headline feature this time around is Battlegrounds, a new three-player matchmade activity featuring ritual combat against Cabal warriors under the command of Empress Caiatl, daughter of our ol' pal Calus. Three new (or, at least, "new") Strikes are planned, too. The Devil's Lair and Fallen SABER Strikes—both from the original, console-only Destiny—will go live at the season's launch, with the actually new Proving Grounds Strike due later in the season.
