The Assassin's Creed movie won't be out until 21st December, but it's reportedly already greenlit a sequel.

The Division is getting three paid DLC expansions, though it turns out only the first two of these have 30-day Xbox exclusivity.

Multiplayer competitive platformer Ultimate Chicken Horse is out now for PC, Mac and Linux via Steam.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is not a dancing game, but it did make me dance. I am not alone in this. At the end of each preposterous challenge your character - be it a chicken, horse, raccoon, lamb or gecko - will get jiggy with it, should they reach their goal. This doesn't happen very often, so it's worth celebrating. The papercraft aesthetic may resemble a cutesy South Park at a glance, but it's so expressive that each animal avatar has their own unique version of waving their hooves/paws/talons in the air like they just don't care. I've yet to play a match of Ultimate Chicken Horse where somebody doesn't emulate their avatar's gloating behaviour.

UPDATE 07/03/2016 4.57pm: Doom's alternate box art has been revealed. It was Option B, i.e. the correct one.

Last year at Tokyo Games Show Koei Tecmo re-revealed Team Ninja's PS4 hack-and-slash affair Nioh, a game that was teased over a decade ago before going dark for several years. Now the publisher has released six minutes of gameplay footage previously only available behind closed doors.

Rebellion is prepping an all-new Sniper Elite, with the fourth instalment in the World War 2 series coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year.

Carmageddon: Max Damage arrives on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the UK on Friday, 3rd June.

Ubisoft has seemingly kept one rather substantial secret about The Division up its sleeves prior to the launch, with a nice surprise waiting for players in their first moments with the game. Needless to say, should you want to go in unspoiled you should turn away now.

Remedy is still actively discussing a sequel to 2010's Alan Wake, and is keen to return to the world of fictional horror writer.

Destiny players may recognise something very familiar in The Division - a Light level system for when you pass the game's main level cap.

Sign up for the My Nintendo customer reward scheme and it looks like you'll get free downloadable games in return.

Brilliant indie platformer Super Meat Boy is finally set to launch on Wii U.

Overwatch for consoles is now confirmed with the reveal of the Origins Edition, due out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One spring 2016.

Blizzard's team-based shooter Overwatch is not free-to-play, as many had expected, but a full price game. It's out spring 2016.

As well as using Blizzcon to confirm the Overwatch console release that we all sort of knew was almost definitely going to happen, Blizzard also lifted the lid on three new characters coming to the game.

I've fallen pretty hard for Overwatch. Blizzard's latest venture into the multiplayer FPS genre isn't set to launch until the spring of next year, but we've already been mucking around in the game's closed beta for almost a month. Despite only offering a couple of different game modes (three if you count the 'hybrid' maps), it still feels like this game is bursting with variety. That's largely thanks to an impressive roster of characters - we're looking at 21 heroes since Blizzcon - that all manage to offer very different playstyles.

Blizzard will be taking the closed beta of Overwatch offline on 10th December, the developer has announced.

Overwatch, the upcoming competitive first-person shooter from Blizzard, will add new maps and playable characters for free.

Overwatch's closed beta was planned to relaunch in January, but it's been delayed until next month, Blizzard has announced.

The Overwatch beta is back on which means, naturally, that conversations with Chris Bratt about the Overwatch beta are also back on.

The Division features at least 26 missions in its main campaign, according to data mined from the game via a new leak.

It's hard to describe Project X Zone 2 without using the phrase "fan service." Because that's exactly what it is. A decadent celebration of crossovers, rife with in-jokes, sometimes inappropriate humour, and the kind of quasi-innocent and often contentious sauciness that permeates many anime. As a game, it's a relatively light offering, mashing the feel of strategy RPGs with side-scrolling beat 'em ups. But it's fun in the same way that pizza is great: a terrific indulgence that works so long as you like cheese.

Mike recently ventured into Dark Souls 3 and came back a harrowed man, and yet he can't wait to dive back into the punishing Kingdom of Lothric.

Having seen the worthwhile results of SSD and hybrid drive upgrades on PlayStation 4, it's now Xbox One's turn in the test seat. With its stock 5,400rpm drive turning in loading times of well over a minute in certain titles - such as Just Cause 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5 - Microsoft's machine thankfully has plenty of options to speed up the downtime. One of its trump cards is the ability to connect to any external drive via USB 3.0, making the upgrade path much more fluid than it is on PS4. That is, provided you have one specific tool for the job.

Midway through my conversation with the creators of Cosmic Encounter, the boardgame in which colourful aliens attempt to colonise each other's planets, Peter Olotka interrupts co-designer Bill Eberle to make a casual observation.

We've done an extraordinary amount of flailing in the Eurogamer office this week, thanks the the arrival of the HTC Vive and its attendant Tron-like controllers.

In deepest, darkest south-east London, there lies a strange and almost forgotten monument to times past. Walk north from Forest Hill station and you will see its crumbling facade. Enter the dingy interior, breathe in the stale air, and marvel at the mysterious collection of ancient relics. Gaze in wonder at these eccentric remnants of history; these dusty, dying survivors of a world long gone.

Earlier this week Mortal Kombat X launched its Kombat Pack 2 DLC for PS4 and Xbox One, adding Leatherface, Triborg, Bo' Rai Cho and the Xenomorph from Alien to NetherRealm's fighting game. Now, you can play these characters for free this weekend.
