| Everybody's Golf PS4 Servers Shutting Down In September Posted: 02 Apr 2022 12:00 PM PDT  Sony has quietly announced that all of the online and multiplayer features of 2015's Everybody's Golf will be taken offline permanently in September. This will make some trophies impossible to collect, though the game's singleplayer and offline modes will remain playable. |
| Classic Doom With Ray Tracing Looks Amazing Posted: 02 Apr 2022 09:45 AM PDT  Okay, before we begin, you won't be able to play this version of Doom on a pregnancy test or cash register. But whatever, the original Doom with ray tracing is so cool that I can forgive that one drawback. |
| Awkwardly, Ubisoft’s Division 2 Update Is All About A Nuclear Power Plant Invasion Posted: 02 Apr 2022 07:45 AM PDT  During Russia's ongoing and horrific invasion of Ukraine, Russian military forces have taken over and held various nuclear power plants located in the country. In what is unfortunate but likely unintentional timing, Ubisoft has revealed that the new mode coming in loot shooter The Division 2's upcoming Year 4 update… |
| 2022 April Fools' Gaming Jokes Round-Up Posted: 01 Apr 2022 04:25 PM PDT |
| Get To Know The World Of Warcraft-Playing, Twitch-Streaming Grandma Who Just Turned 80 Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:40 PM PDT  WowGrandma78, the elderly streamer who's been broadcasting on the platform since January 2020, celebrated her 80th birthday last month. To honor her eight decades around the sun, WowGrandma78 is hosting a multi-day sub-athon on Twitch, which entered day 15 as of this writing. It's unclear whether she plans to stop… |
| No Man’s Sky Neo-Nazi Banned After Wreaking Havoc On Galactic Hub Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:25 PM PDT  18 quintillion planets, and you still can't get away from the worst people on Earth. To wit: The central nexus of No Man's Sky, a region of charted space known as the Galactic Hub, was recently menaced by a troll who players say is a "neonazi." Developer Hello Games has banned the griefer, permanently, but players… |
| Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Players Trolled By Loot Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:10 PM PDT  Loot shooter series Borderlands is about picking up a shiny new gun one minute and throwing it away for something more powerful the next. TIny Tina's Wonderlands continues this trend, but with a few added wrinkles that can end up trolling unsuspecting players who aren't paying close enough attention. |
| We’re Getting More Hyper Light Drifter, Be Still My Beating Heart Posted: 01 Apr 2022 12:48 PM PDT  It's been nearly nine years since the evocative pixel-art action RPG Hyper Light Drifter first took my breath away in its Kickstarter teaser. Now developer Heart Machine has a successor planned and it's just around the corner. It's called Hyper Light Breaker, it will be 3D instead of top-down, and it's coming to Steam… |
| Steam’s Latest Puzzle Sensation Is Very Trippy, Very Good Posted: 01 Apr 2022 11:10 AM PDT  The best moment of any good puzzle game is when it rewires your brain and you suddenly feel like the smartest person in the world. That moment when you look at a puzzle and think to yourself, "Oh…that would work!" and then it actually does and you feel amazing. But a great puzzle game should also be filled with… |
| Twitch Pauses 'Boost' Feature After Porn Sneaks Onto Front Page Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:30 AM PDT  Twitch just can't seem to scrub porn off its platform. Thanks to the "Boost This Stream" feature the Amazon-owned company introduced last October, viewers are paying to promote, or "boost," sexually explicit content onto the platform's front page. Unsurprisingly, Twitch has paused the boosting feature indefinitely. |
| 13 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:15 AM PDT  If you've played Borderlands, you've played Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Gearbox's latest, a fantasy twist on the loot-shooting series for which the studio is known, feels a lot like the previous four games—and 400 expansions and events—in the series. You shoot a bazillion guns. You find a bazillion more. |
| The Best (And Worst) April Fools’ Jokes In Gaming For 2022 Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:55 AM PDT  April Fools' is finally upon us, or as our UK editor John Walker likes to call it: "International Lying Day." Never fear, readers. We Kotaku bloggers are vigilantly keeping alert for any announcements that seem a little bit too good or too weird to be true. Not me, though. Some April Fools' jokes are too good to not … |
| GameStop’s Meme Stock Is Back With A Vengeance Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:30 AM PDT  People have been waiting for the GameStop bubble to pop for over a year now. Instead, the ailing brick and mortar video game retailer just posted another record week on Wall Street. Earnings are down. Employee morale is in the pits. But the company's stock went from $78 per share last month to over $185 in early… |
| The Xbox Series X Is Easy To Buy For The First Time In Years Posted: 01 Apr 2022 07:50 AM PDT  It seems an extraordinary thing for it to be a news story that, one-and-a-half years after release, you can buy an Xbox. But we live in extraordinary times, and right now is the first time the Xbox Series X has ever been easily available. You can just buy one! You know, if you have a spare $500. |
| Making Your Own Kaneda Bike From Akira Seems Hard Posted: 01 Apr 2022 03:30 AM PDT  YouTuber Ayato has a big project on his hands: making a DIY Kaneda bike from Akira. The Kaneda bike is one of the most iconic bikes in anime—no, make that popular culture writ large. There are numerous Kaneda bike projects on YouTube, but in my opinion, this one is the best. |
| Forgotten Pokémon Musical From 2000 Gets 68-Minute Documentary Posted: 31 Mar 2022 06:10 PM PDT  For one brief, shining moment in time over 20 years ago, Pokémon ascended from the anime/video games plane where it normally resides and became something more. Something fancier, something jauntier. And then, just as quickly as it rose, it slipped right back down again, and most folks now forget it ever happened at… |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2022 05:20 PM PDT  Activision Blizzard Chief Administrative Officer Brian Bulatao (above) emailed all employees of the company earlier today, informing them that "effective immediately" the publisher was removing the mandate for employees working from offices to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and hopes to have everyone working… |
| Sonic The Hedgehog 2's Official Sneaker Collab Is Not Great Posted: 31 Mar 2022 04:25 PM PDT  Let's imagine it's Saturday morning. You drive up to your local Aldi parking lot, you get out of your car, you walk inside. Mostly to get some cheap groceries, but also partially so you can saunter up and down the middle aisles, perusing the special buys that are currently on rotation. Maybe you'll see some house… |
| Sony Cuts PlayStation Jobs Despite Growth Posted: 31 Mar 2022 01:25 PM PDT  Sony is cutting up to 90 jobs from its "merchandiser" and retail marketing teams as part of a "global transformation," according to a new report by Axios. The layoffs come despite the continued growth of PlayStation thanks to the success of the PS5, and some employees were caught off guard by the move. |
| Elden Ring Characters Beat Each Other To A Pulp In Bonkers Tekken Mod Posted: 31 Mar 2022 01:05 PM PDT  We're one month removed from Elden Ring's launch, probably FromSoftware's biggest Souls-like release thus far, and the action-RPG is still top of folks' minds. It's still on mine, even if I managed to leave the Lands Between briefly to play Ghostwire: Tokyo. I love the characters and world of Elden Ring, but I never… |
| Report: Xbox Game Pass Getting Family Plan Option Later This Year Posted: 31 Mar 2022 12:35 PM PDT  According to a new report, it might get a lot easier—and cheaper—to provide the entire family with Xbox Game Pass as Microsoft plans to launch a five-person option later this year. |
| How To Get The Coveted Moonveil Katana In Elden Ring Posted: 31 Mar 2022 12:20 PM PDT |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2022 12:04 PM PDT  Pour one out for the "world reveals" and "world exclusives." E3 won't happen at all this summer, the Entertainment Software Association said in a statement to Kotaku. |
| Shredders Devs Dish On How They Made The Most Realistic Snowboarding Game Ever Posted: 31 Mar 2022 11:40 AM PDT  The first thing you'll notice when playing Shredders is how real it feels. When riding down its slopes, you don't turn. You carve. You don't jump. You pop. In fact, the hot new snowboarding game feels so realistic that its creators say players who snowboard in real life have a way easier time picking it up than those… |
