Operation Health has finally ended and Siege players are now going to get access to new content and changes as part of the Blood Orchid 3.0 patch.
The entire expansion will be made available for free to all players - this means that everybody can play the new maps and new operators included in the operation. However, despite the content being released for free, those with the Year 2 season pass will get the operators for free, while all other players will need to spend renown on the operators to unlock them.
Alternatively, players can purchase new operators with real money via the Rainbow Six Credits system.
One of the biggest new additions to Rainbow Six Siege in the new Blood Orchid operation is the Theme Park map. This new map features a creepy environment based in an abandoned theme park.
This time around, we are also seeing three new operators being brought into Rainbow Six Siege. The first operator is Ying, a Chinese attacker that can fire a cluster of

A new demo has been released for the upcoming PS4 exclusive, Knack 2. The new demo is currently only available in Europe and Australia. If you're in either of these regions you can jump in and download the demo for free right now.
So far, the demo weighs in at just 2.6GB. If you download it from the store today, you'll have roughly one week to play before Knack 2 is launched worldwide. Unfortunately, there's no evidence that the Knack 2 demo will come to any other regions, including North America.
Knack 2 was originally revealed via a leak quite some time ago, but it wasn't until Sony's PSX event last year that the game was officially revealed by Sony. Now, Knack 2 is set to launch on September 5 in North America. Knack 2 will also launch in Europe and Australia a day later, on September 6.
The original Knack didn't get as much critical appeal as the developers had originally hoped. However, game designer Mark Cerny feels like the sequel touches on a lot of the areas

Fortnite is a brand new IP by Epic Games and it has finally arrived on Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
Fortnite has been in the eyes of the media for a good few years now, and it's been in development for even longer than that. Today, Fortnite has finally made it to early access and can be picked up on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
The development studio responsible for Fortnite is responsible for both Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. Fortnite takes things in a different direction. There are less blood and gore, and more room for creativity.
In Fortnite, players must team up to build structures that can defend themselves against an oncoming onslaught of enemies. As the game continues, the enemies become more aggressive and powerful. As a result, players must put in more effort to improve their defenses.
To get into early access, you'll have to pick up Fortnite for $40 on either Xbox One, PS4, or PC.
There are more expensive versions of the game if you feel like supporting

It may come as a surprise to some, but the single player and co-op zombie survival game Dying Light is still getting close to 500,000 active players each week.
This huge player base has helped developer Techland to pour as much love into Dying Light as possible. In the past 12 months, Techland has released a number of new free content updates, and now they're planning to release even more content over the next 12 months.
The new content will also be free and it'll be spread out across 2018 and 2017. The new content will start with what Techland are calling "DLC No. 0."
This new DLC will bring new enemies to Dying Light. The release date for DLC No. 0 has not yet been set, but it's expected to come soon. The new enemies are humans with ranged weaponry. It looks like they'll be hit men or bandits set out to capture the price set on Crane's (the protagonist) head.
We're not sure what future content will be, but it's likely that they'll be similar in size to DLC

Project Cars 2 is going to make its way to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on September 22. As the release has gotten closer, we have had the chance to learn more about the cars and tracks that'll be featured in the game.
It's now been confirmed that on launch day, Project Cars will have a total of 180 different cars and 60 different tracks. Every single one of the 180 cars has been built, tested, and perfected based on manufacturer's standards and through test driving by owners of each of the cars in the game.
This should mean that players will have the opportunity to drive 180 cars that will all authentically feel like their real life counterparts.
There's also plenty of variety when it comes to picking a vehicle you like in Project Cars 2. Plenty of manufacturers are featured, including big names like Honda, Ford, and McLaren.
Players will have the chance to drive classic cars, modern sports cars, cars designed for formula 1, and even go karts.

Tekken Bowl has been a returning mini game in the Tekken franchise ever since it made an appearance in Tekken Tag Tournament. It has now been confirmed to be making a return as a DLC for Tekken 7.
The new DLC for Tekken 7 will be called Ultimate Tekken Bowl, and it'll feature the same game mechanics that were featured in previous Tekken Bowl mini games.
The new Ultimate Tekken Bowl will arrive on Xbox One, PC, and PS4 in August. The new mini game will be bundled in the same DLC as a brand new costume pack. Currently, the price tag and exact release day for each platform haven't been unveiled.
The new announcement was made via a brand new trailer for the game mode in Tekken 7. The trailer starts by Katsuhiro Harada making his way to a bowling alley in real life. Afterward, Harada scores a strike on two lanes while throwing two bowling balls at once.
The trailer then transitions into gameplay footage of the bowling alley in Tekken 7.

What is Sonic Mania? We've explained exactly what the new Sonic game is in this blog, as well as providing details about its release date.
Sonic Mania is a brand new Sonic game that's planned to launch later this year. Sonic Mania will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the PC. The game will first be available starting from August 15.
Sonic Mania is not the new Sonic Forces game. Instead, Sonic Mania is a celebration of 25 years of Sonic the Hedgehog - it's a throwback to the fans and it's a 2D re-imagination of the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
The graphics style for Sonic Mania is exactly what you'd expect for a retro re-imagination. The background music fits in perfectly as well, as does the gameplay. Sonic Mania is a new game, but you'll be convinced it isn't - it includes old levels from the original Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as 'remixed' versions of those same levels.
Players will be able to play as Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles

A previously PC-exclusive update for Elder Scrolls Online has finally made it's way to the Xbox One and the PS4. The update in question adds housing to the world of ESO for the first time since the game's release.
The new free update is called Homestead and with it, players will be able to purchase their very own home to call their own. Once a home is purchased, a player can customize the interior in a variety of different ways. The Homestead options available include roughly 40 different rooms and buildings types, ranging in size, price and functionality.
All of the available player houses in Homestead are instanced, so every player can own their own version of any house they please in the game world, so long as they've got the gold for it of course.
The very high-end houses are essentially separate islands off of the mainland of Tamriel. There are ten different types of islands, all of which are themed around one of the 10 playable races in Elder Scrolls Online.
