20.5.2025
We still don’t know much about the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel currently in the works at CD Projekt Red. Development on the RPG, code-named “Orion,” is in full swing after the studio wrapped support for the original game last year, but the team is still keeping most details about it under wraps, other...

20.5.2025
One of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's big innovations is adding a dodge, parry, and counter system to its otherwise traditional turn-based battles. It’s a clever tweak that helps keep combat engrossing for its 30+ hour journey and also an incredible opportunity for the game’s developers to troll...
$15 Will Get You Every Witcher Game Including One Of The Best RPGs Of The Last Decade
19.5.2025
For less than the price of a Mission Impossible 8 movie ticket, you can hear the wind howling across three hardware generations just like our dear friend Geralt of Rivia. That’s because The Witcher 3 and the rest of CD Projekt Red’s fantasy RPG series is just $15 as the most recent entry celebrates...
Here's What Cyberpunk 2077, Pokémon Scarlet And Violet, And More Look Like On Switch 2
19.5.2025
Notoriously, Cyberpunk 2077 looked so bad on PlayStation when it launched back in 2020 that Sony took the unprecedented step of completely removing it from their store until it was better optimized. That might imply an uphill battle for getting a port to look and play well on Switch 2, but recent...
Baldur's Gate 3 Figures Are So Ugly Fans Are Getting Full Refunds

An Artist Spots Her Work In Bungie's Marathon, Nintendo Isn't Sending Out Switch 2 Review Units Until The Last Minute, And More Of The Week's Top Stories
17.5.2025
This week, it was reported that in a strange turn of events, Nintendo may not be sending out Switch 2 units to would-be reviewers before launch, which could result in a dearth of coverage at a time when you’d expect to see impressions and reviews of the console plastered across every gaming site...
Kotaku’s Weekend Guide: 4 Cool Games We’re Vibing With As May Evaporates Before Our Eyes
16.5.2025
This week was an odd one. We shook our heads at Bungie doing an absurdly obvious plagiarism with Marathon and were provided no assurances the Switch 2 will stay at its launch price (it could go higher), all while Sony also called to say “hey, the PS5 might have a price hike.” We’re also dealing...
Every Argument For Why We Shouldn't Be Able To Skip Boss Fights, Addressed
16.5.2025
Last week I wrote about how South of Midnight has added a way for players to skip its boss fights, and yet the very fabric of reality hasn’t crumbled apart around us. As with every other time I, and many others, have covered this topic, the reaction has been extraordinary hostility, pure hatred...

Don't Expect Many Switch 2 Reviews At Launch
15.5.2025
The Switch 2 is likely to be one of the biggest console launches ever, but it might be hard to find actual hands-on reviews of the device when it first comes out. That’s because Nintendo isn’t sending out early units to press and content creators, according to a new report by The Game Business....
Baldur's Gate 3 Director Predicted Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Success At Last Year's Game Awards
14.5.2025
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 came out of nowhere. Yes, it made waves at Microsoft’s Xbox showcase last summer. And true, it continued to look exceptional as it revealed its star-studded cast. But I don’t know that anyone expected it to get quite so much love as it has, and not just from diehard...

Hideo Kojima Has An Idea For A 'Forgetting Game' But Everyone Over The Age Of 30 Is Already Living It
14.5.2025
Tell me if this sounds familiar: You dive into a big, modern blockbuster on day-one—maybe it’s an open-world RPG like Assassin’s Creed Shadows or a loot-heavy action-adventure with lots of items and numbers to keep track of like Monster Hunter Wilds—and you’re having a great time, but life gets...

14.5.2025

Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy Collab Has A Card For Every Cid (With One Exception)
13.5.2025
I don’t go here (Magic: The Gathering, that is), but I’m obsessed with the new MTG and Final Fantasy collaboration. I swore off trading card games when I realized how much money people dump into cracking packs, but I can still appreciate some good Final Fantasy art when I see it. Something I also...
