19.5.2025
WizKids announced a new collection of Baldur’s Gate 3 miniatures last fall that featured Karlach, Gale, Shadowheart, and other memorably party members from the hit 2023 Dungeon & Dragons-based RPG.

Black Ops 6’s Best Ladra Loadout Optimizes Mobility And Momentum
19.5.2025
One of the most interesting additions joining the fray in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded (what a mouthful!) is the Ladra submachine gun. It’s a fast-firing SMG reminiscent of the Tec-9. But with such a high rate of fire comes a lack of control, which we’ll aim to resolve with the right...

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...
The Internet Reacts To AI Darth Vader Saying Wild Things In Fortnite
16.5.2025
An AI Darth Vader chatbot voiced by a digital clone of James Earl Jones’ voice joined Fortnite on Friday and players wasted no time trying to break it.

Here’s How To Beat That Damn Lampmaster In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
16.5.2025
No matter who it is, from Goro to General Grievous, you just can’t trust a guy with more than two arms. The creep factor is part of it, but I think you just learn fast that while two of those arms are fine, the most devastating attack always comes, from the other two arms you didn’t even know were...
Little Kitty, Big City Is Ideal When You Want A Bite-Sized Adventure
16.5.2025
Little Kitty, Big City packs a lot to do in its meowtropolis (sorry, that’s my first and only cat pun), all of which is as cute and fun as you’d expect for a game about a lost kitty in a big ‘ol city. But this city is actually more bite-sized than you might anticipate by the game’s name, offering...

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...
AI Darth Vader Voiced By Fake James Earl Jones Has Been Added To Fortnite And He Already Said 'F***'
16.5.2025
Star Wars and AI are colliding in one of the biggest games around. Darth Vader once again joined Fortnite on Friday, except unlike so many crossover cameos in Epic’s game, this one will talk back to you and your friends while you’re running around Junk Junction looking for easy pick-offs. It’s...
Police Arrest Man Found With More Than $300K Worth Of Stolen Pokémon Cards
16.5.2025
Every day, I get sad that Pokémon aren’t real, but sometimes we get real-world amalgamations of their world in ours. Team Rocket and all their monster-stealing ways may not be an actual organization, but we’ve got plenty of people committing pocket monster crimes here on Earth. A recent example...
Pokémon TCG's Return Of Team Rocket Is A Triumph
16.5.2025
Oh it’s fun to have good news! The latest set from the Pokémon TCG, Scarlet & Violet Destined Rivals, is a top-notch collection of cards bursting with Team Rocket antics, which sports (in my limited experience, at least) pull rates I don’t believe we’ve seen in this era. Having torn open 55 packs...

Nintendo Of America President Won't Commit To Switch 2 Staying $450 After Launch
15.5.2025
The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching in a few weeks in the United States. It will cost $450, a price some think is too high. But that price could go up in the near future as President Trump continues enacting tariffs on imported goods. So it’s not surprising that, when asked how long the company...
