How To Take Down The Powerful Mizutsune In Monster Hunter Wilds
20.5.2025
Monster Hunter Wilds’ first title update introduced a lot of new content, but a standout addition is Mizutsune. This serpentine behemoth is a one-of-a-kind threat packed with unique mechanics and an aggressive attitude. The Tempered version takes it to another level and is considered by many to...
Borderlands 4 Boss Says 'A Real Fan' Will Pay $80 For Games
20.5.2025
Game prices have been the subject of controversy since games had prices. How much is a game worth? What qualities or aspects of a game justify a higher price tag, or demand a lower one? Does a game that costs $70 deserve the same critical reaction as the identical game but $30? All this has gone...
Ubisoft Explains Why You Can't Kill Animals In Assassin's Creed Shadows
19.5.2025
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a very good game that animal lovers can enjoy because there’s no way to harm a single creature in the game (except for people, of course). That’s a first for the franchise and I wanted to learn why Ubisoft went this route for its latest open-world adventure. Read more
$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...
Lego Fan Game Shut Down After Eight Years Of Development
19.5.2025
An open-world, third-person Bionicle fan game that had a lot of hype in the community and which has been in development for nearly a decade has allegedly been canceled by the Lego Group just a few months before the project’s first big demo was set to release. Read more
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...
Smash Bros. Melee Player Loses $2,000 To Rare Pokémon Stadium Glitch
19.5.2025
I can think of a lot of ways to lose a major Smash Bros. Melee tournament with $2,000 on the line, but this might be one of the strangest. Fourth-ranked Kurtis “moky” Pratt was in the Full House 2025 finals, but idly wavedashing in-between level transformations on the Pokémon Stadium stage sent...
Hideo Kojima's 'Next-Gen' Espionage Successor To Metal Gear Is Over 5 Years Away
19.5.2025
Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s return to the stealth shooter genre, Physint, was first revealed by Sony over a year ago. Called a “next-gen” espionage game at the time, the director recently said it’s still “five or six” years away from release, all but confirming it’ll be developed...
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...
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...
GTA 6 Needed More Time To Achieve Vision With 'No Limits' And Probably Won't Be Delayed Again
15.5.2025
One of the biggest questions coming into 2025 was whether Grand Theft Auto 6 would somehow get delayed. Earlier this month, Rockstar Games revealed it would. The head of its parent company now says that delay was necessary to help the studio deliver the game without compromises. Will it get delayed...
Artist Shocked To Find Her Poster Designs From 2017 In Bungie's Marathon: 'A Major Company Has Deemed It Easier To Pay A Designer To Imitate Or Steal My Work Than To Write Me An Email'
15.5.2025
One of the most striking things about Bungie’s Marathonis its presentation. The sci-fi extraction shooter combines bleak settings with bright colors in a way that makes it feel a bit like a sneaker promo meets Ghost in the Shell, or as designer Jeremy Skoog put it, “Y2K Cyberpunk mixed with Acid...
Put Down Some Roots In Cyrodiil With Your Own House In Oblivion Remastered
15.5.2025
As you explore the lands of Cyrodiil, you’ll find that waiting in the entrance of a cave or renting a room at the local inn doesn’t suffice for very long. You desire more, a place to call your own, a spot to put down roots in this fantasy land. You need a house in Oblivion Remastered for numerous...
Should You Attack Troubadour In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
15.5.2025
In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there are friendly Nevrons that’ll ask you to take on their request. Completing them often provides useful rewards. You can also attack them after finishing their quests, but we don’t recommend that for reasons we’ll get into a little bit.Read more
Marvel Rivals Is Letting Players Manipulate Ranked Mode And They're Not Happy
15.5.2025
Marvel Rivals is still the new hero-shooter hotness, but like most free-to-play live-service games, over its six months NetEase’s Overwatch-like has run into a fair bit of controversy. An entire subset of the playerbase went on strike, the team has added new microtransactions, and now it’s added...

New Kingdom Hearts IV Screenshots Confirm Playable Mickey
15.5.2025
After canceling Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link, Square Enix has released some new screenshots of Kingdom Hearts IV to give fans proof of life. The company has been pretty quiet about the fourth entry in its Disney/Final Fantasy crossover RPG series since announcing it in 2022, and if you’ve got...
A New Persona 5 Game Is Coming Out Next Month
15.5.2025
After teasing some news on its social channels earlier this week, Atlus has finally announced that a new Persona game is coming out. No, it’s not Persona 6, but rather Persona 5: The Phantom X, a spin-off that is finally making its way out of China and into other territories.Read more
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...
