PCGamer posted so many articles during the weekend that they've run out of gas. Here's the reasonable second, and final, part of the gaming news:

Nobody can tell if Overwatch's 52nd hero is supposed to be a robot or a human, but we won't have to wait long to find out

(...)
The trailer for Overwatch 52nd hero, Shion, doesn't actually tell us much about her that we didn't already vaguely know from some of the hints in the past few months. She's one of the leaders of the Hashimoto clan—Overwatch's near-future version of the yakuza—and dual wields pistols.
People have already been debating if she's a robot (an Omnic in Overwatch parlance) or a human based on the early info, and the trailer refuses to give a clear answer. At first, it looks like Shion wears a demon mask like many of the other Hashimoto members, but when she starts talking through speakers in her neck it almost seems like it's not a mask at all and that she is indeed a robot.

Welp, once again Sand: Raiders of Sophie—the hotly anticipated PvPvE extraction shooter where you build and pilot big stompy mechanical bases across an alien planet—has been delayed.
And this time, the delay was announced a mere one day before it was supposed to launch. Yikes.

Muramasa: Revenant Blades is the newly announced action RPG from Vanillaware, a highly respected Japanese studio founded in 2002 and terminally aloof to the existence of personal computers. Until now: a revamped version of 2009's Muramasa: The Demon Blade was announced at today's Nintendo Direct. Initially a Wii exclusive, it'll hit Steam in 2027.
