Ubisoft has confirmed that any future maps and modes making their way into For Honor will be free to download for all players.

I guess you could describe For Honor's single-player campaign as a training ground for the main event. A place to get to grips with each of the game's heroes and their distinct fighting styles, without the pressures of competition and voice chat. You could make that argument. But gosh, it's a boring place to be.

UPDATE 14/12/16: DualShock 4 support is now live on Steam. Here's the full patch notes.

I have an odd little theory about Final Fantasy games. You've heard, no doubt, of the odd/even Star Trek theory - or, as posited by Tim in the sitcom Spaced, how every odd-numbered Star Trek film turns out to be shite. With Final Fantasy, I've always thought it's a bit more complicated than that. There's a lot more shite to get through, for one thing, but when you find those highs they can be utterly sublime.

We're still enjoying Overwatch quite a bit, so these days it doesn't take much to convince us to jump back on for a livestream. That said, the latest patch brings with it an impressive festive offering, including frosty new skins, adorable emotes, sprays, victory poses, and a new 6v6 Arcade Brawl mode, Mei's Snowball Offensive. Located at Ecopoint: Antarctica, the mode sees every player using Mei, equipped with a snowball blaster that only contains one shot, though it can be reloaded at snow piles. Which is music to my ears, as I was never very good with Mei. Any items you unlock will be yours to keep, but the Winter Wonderland content is only available until 2nd January, so best hop to it.

Quote is an odd game. One minute you're traipsing through the forest, seizing books and merrily burning corrupted heretic authors, and then the next, you're taking a tour of an ice-cream factory (presided over by a skipping, anthropomorphic ice cream cone) that hides a rather dark secret on its innermost factory floor. The game is primarily the work of just two people - coder Robin Lacey and artists Evan Lovejoy - who were originally inspired by the ending to Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, though they say the idea has evolved over a number of years to encompass a number of literary and artistic themes and motifs, referencing authors like Kurt Vonnegut and Aldous Huxley. Its art style is similarly lofty in its inspirations, paying homage to surrealists like Hieronymous Bosch, Max Ernst, and The Red Guy from Cow and Chicken.

Now, for the first time, early footage of Doom's gameplay has been unearthed showing us what codename Doom 4 1.0 looked like in action.
