A brand new update for Star Wars Battlefront has hit servers and it features a bunch of new content for March. The new update is already available for all platforms - this includes PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
It should be noted that all of the content in the new March update for Star Wars Battlefront is entirely free of charge for all players across all three platforms. The new update adds a new survival mission on Tatooine called Rebel Depot, as well as Survivors of Ender to Assault, Supremacy, Walker Assault and Turning Point.
The update adds Rebel Depot on Tatooine as a new Survival Mission, and brings Survivors of Endor to the Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Turning Point modes.
After this free content update, more content for Star Wars Battlefront is sure to follow. However the next upcoming content will most likely be part of the paid DLC season pass. We're expecting to see Outer Rim as the first expansion for Star Wars Battlefront and this should include new

If you've been following the development of Fallout 4 then you'll know that Bethesda has a lot of great plans for the game in the near future. Whilst Bethesda will be releasing their own additional content throughout the next year, Bethesda also want to open up new content potential via community mod support.
Not only will Fallout 4 receive mod support on the PC but for the first time mod support will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the past we had no idea about when mod support will arrive for Fallout 4 but Bethesda has recently spoken up about their plans. Todd Howard at Bethesda recently revealed that the PC mod support should be released soon and the consoles should follow after everything has been shown to work smoothly on the PC.
Mod support should hopefully be launched between the first and second DLC packs for Fallout 4.
In an interview with GameInformer, Howard mentioned that their "Goal is between the first two DLCs. It'll go up at that time

The next free update for Halo 5 will be hitting servers later this month and like previous updates before it, it will include some new game modes for multiplayer and a range of new items that can be picked up through REQ packs.
Perhaps the biggest addition to this month's free update is the inclusion of Griffball. Griffball is one of the most popular mini games for Halo and it features two teams as they fight to pick up a ball and place it in the opposing team's goal in a small court room. The reason why Griffball is so special is because players are loaded up with gravity hammers and energy swords.
Speaking of gravity hammers, this weapon will be making a big splash in Warzone this month - available as a rare REQ, the gravity hammer is sure to have a big impact on the playing field. It's hard to say whether there will be any extra REQs for the gravity hammer but the new Hammer Storm update will include a number of extra REQs for the assault rifle and the DMR.

Guess what? We're about to get a bunch of information about the first Fallout DLC and it sounds like it could be incredible. Bethesda has been on Twitter to suggest that not only will the upcoming first DLC for Fallout 4 have new content, but it will be making an overhaul to some of the previous gameplay as well.
In one very exciting Tweet, Bethesda mentioned that They are "Doing a complete overhaul of Fallout 4 Survival mode. Food, sleep, diseases, danger and more," and reminded players to stay tuned.
Bethesda has also suggested that we're not far off from the first DLC release for Fallout 4. Hopefully we'll be hearing some very exciting news about Fallout 4 very soon.
With an overhaul to the survival mode, the Fallout 4 experience could be changed drastically. In the past, modders have created mods for the PC version of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas that make it incredibly hard to survive. Whilst we may not be seeing as extreme changes as in some of these mods,

The plans for Bungie's latest child, Destiny, haven't been set in stone for a while. The Destiny community have had no idea what Bungie's plans are for the IP for a long time now and with Bungie's clear focus on monetization and revenue, it has been a little worrying.
Fortunately some new information has come in to shed light on exactly what Bungie has been planning behind the scenes. In a new public statement from Bungie, it was revealed that a new expansion similar to previous expansions for Destiny will hit later this year, whilst a full sequel to the Destiny game is planned for 2017.
Bungie's statement mentions, "Prior to the holiday break we mentioned a second, larger update slated for Spring. That content release will feature a significant Light increase, a bunch of new gear to earn and equip, and new challenges for PvE players seeking some more fun experiences and replayability. Beyond that, the team is focused on delivering a large expansion later this year, and a

The exact wait time will depend on your region. For example, the UK will receive the new Dying Light expansion for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on February 12, although the PC version will also be available on February

Before Destiny was released, Bungie mentioned that they plan to have a 2 year release cycle for Destiny - this would mean that new Destiny games would hit the market every two years for at least 10 years to come. As the plans at Bungie have evolved, their monetization plans have changed too. Now, over a year after the launch of the original Destiny, Bungie's plans on a sequel have been voiced to the public.
Instead of working on a new sequel to push out in 2016, Destiny will now be launching new content updates throughout the entirety of the year - this could include smaller content updates like the upcoming Valentine's content in February, to much larger expansions that could be as large as The Taken King. It seems as if Bungie aren't even entirely sure of their own plans themselves but as the year progresses, there will definitely be a lot in store for the Destiny community.
Players should expect to see a mixture of free content, DLC content and microtransaction cosmetic

Unlike other recent fighting games, King of Fighters 14 isn't wasting any time with announcing it's character lineup. Well, almost.
SNK Playmore has revealed that King of Fighters 14 will come with 50 characters at launch but the actual character lineup has not yet been revealed. It's likely we will see a large roster including old characters and a small selection of new fighters too. King of Fighters has always been renowned for having a large character roster so this news comes as no surprise.
What is surprising, in a pleasant way, is that SNK Playmore do not plan to split these 50 characters into DLC - all of the 50 initial fighters will be available on day one as part of the base game. Game director Yasuyuki Oda mentioned that there won't be small additions added over time. "All 50 characters will be playable at launch." There will be numerous characters at launch, and we don't plan on adding more bits at a time, so be sure to properly jot that down. It wouldn't be a KoF
