The 3D Sonic The Hedgehog Games, Ranked From Worst To Best
1.5.2024
Much like a Sonic the Hedgehog level, Sega’s platforming franchise has had its ups, downs, loop-de-loops, and bottomless chasms. With the Knuckles show out, a third live-action movie premiering in December, and Sonic X Shadow Generations coming out this year, what better time to look back at...

1.5.2024
Batman: Arkham Shadow is a new entry in the beloved comic book metroidvania beat ‘em up series, though it’s not what many players were probably hoping for. It’s being made in VR and will be exclusive to the Meta Quest 3 headset. It’s scheduled to release in late 2024. Read more
The Legend Of Zelda Movie Is Avoiding CG Mo-Cap To Be More 'Grounded'
1.5.2024
I do not envy anyone working on the previously announced Legend of Zelda movie. Whereas, with Mario, they needed only make cute cartoons and load the film with jokes and easter eggs, Zelda feels so much more nuanced, and any angle is likely to displease many. Filmmaker Wes Ball has recently made...
Why The Life Is Strange Devs Aren’t Making A Sequel With Lost Records
29.4.2024
The Life Is Strange series started as French developer Don’t Nod’s baby back when the first game’s episodic rollout began in 2015. After two games, publisher Square Enix has placed the franchise in the hands of Deck Nine Games, which worked on the prequel Before the Storm and the most recent game...
7 Sonic Easter Eggs In The Knuckles Show
29.4.2024
The Knuckles Paramount+ show is real bad at giving Sonic the Hedgehog characters the spotlight. Despite having his name at the top, Knuckles is only in the show for half its runtime and barely speaks when he’s there. But despite the lack of anthropomorphic characters throughout, the show does have...

Stellar Blade: The Kotaku Review
24.4.2024
In many ways, Stellar Blade is awesome. The action is awesome, the soundtrack is awesome, the world is awesome. However, when you peel back the curtain just a bit and peer behind all the flash and style, you find that Shift Up’s character action game can also be quite tedious. It’s a game...
GTA V Trevor Actor Says He Shot Scenes For DLC Before It Was Scrapped
23.4.2024
We previously learned that Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar’s neverending success story that has outsold entire franchises on its own, once had several pieces of single-player DLC in the works. According to previous reports, the studio scrapped planned story mode add-ons in favor of focusing on...
Tomb Raider 3 Update Secretly Nukes Lara Croft Pinups
22.4.2024
Well, this is weird. Pinups of Lara Croft appear to have gone missing in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered following a patch earlier this month to fix a bunch of bugs. Whether intentional or not, some fans are now calling it out as heavy-handed censorship of retro classics.Read more
The Best Zelda-Like This Year Is A Twin-Stick Shooter
22.4.2024
There is a reason why Minishoot’ Adventure has that apostrophe in its name, but it isn’t a good enough one, so we’ll rightly ignore it from now on. But this certainly isn’t a game you should ignore: despite the awful name, this is the best Zelda-like 2024 has offered so far, and it’s also somehow...

Upcoming action game Stellar Blade is set to launch exclusively on PS5 on April 26, 2024. Developer Shift Up recently released a demo to give us all a taste of what’s expected on release.

Someone Bought 4,000 Worthless Copies Of Alan Wake
16.4.2024
We’ve all bought a second or maybe even third copy of a game we really, really love. Longtime Kotaku readers know of my obsession with re-buying Resident Evil 4. But I’m not sure there’s a game I love so much that I would buy thousands of copies of it. And there’s definitely not a game out there...
Harold Halibut: The Kotaku Review
15.4.2024
As I play through the sci-fi adventure that is Harold Halibut, I am often reminded of walking through an aquarium. It’s partially because the game’s gorgeous environments are submerged in, but it’s also because I feel a childlike frustration at the events unfolding in front of me. Like a...
I Wish I Could Show You The First Sonic 3 Movie Trailer
11.4.2024
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is one of the films Paramount is showcasing at Cinemacon in Las Vegas right now, and that presentation included a whole trailer of the blue blur fighting his angsty rival Shadow. Unfortunately, as of this writing, none of that footage is available to the public. But we do have...
John Cena Should Be In The Zelda Movie, Actually
11.4.2024
John Cena is probably not teasing a role in the upcoming Legend of Zelda live-action film. But after the wrestler-turned-actor posted a no-context image of Link from the original 1986 NES game on his Instagram, fans immediately started running with the mere suggestion that Cena could appear in...

Stellar Blade’s Skin Suit Is An Easy Unlock (In The Demo)
9.4.2024
The Stellar Blade demo has been out since March 29, and if you manage to beat it, your save data will carry over to the full game when it launches as a PlayStation 5 exclusive on April 26. One thing I was curious about was the “Skin Suit,” an outfit for protagonist Eve that basically has...
Move Over Luigi, It’s The Year Of Shadow The Hedgehog
9.4.2024
For a little while now, Sonic the Hedgehog fans have known that 2024 is the year of the blue blur’s angsty rival, Shadow the Hedgehog. He’s getting his own story in the Sonic Generations remaster, he’s starring in the third live-action movie premiering in December, and he’s even getting his...
