For Honor’s Marching Fire update went live this week.

The makers of Far Cry 5's map editor are hellbent on giving the game a long and ridiculous life beyond its single-player campaign.
There was once a time when video game developers would make a game, release it, and then move onto the next big thing. That time has long since passed.
