I’m playing with randos. One is a big burly guy dressed in animal skins and crowned with ram antlers. The other is a katana-wielding ninja in sleek black armor. We are frantically racing around, killing and plundering everything we can in a fever dream remix of the Lands Between from 2022's megahit Elden Ring called…
Persona 4 voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, who has voiced the character of Yosuke in every Persona 4 game and project, announced on social media that he wouldn’t be returning in the upcoming Persona 4 remake, despite asking if he could come back. Funny thing, though: Atlus and Sega haven’t actually announced a remake of Pe…
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International have just announced the date for the next Pokémon Presents, due to be with us before the end of July.
Pokémon Legends Z-A, the much-anticipated sequel to 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the first new full-scale Pokémon game since late 2022’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, finally has an official release date. It’s due to be with us on October 16, with pre-orders starting as early as June 5.
The C9 is one of the first submachine guns available to the player in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It’s a stock class until you unlock custom classes after a few levels, and it’s a viable long-term SMG that many still use at high ranks. I do—though it can be a tough gun to master. But with the right attachments,…
The Last of Us concluded its second season on Sunday with a pretty big cliffhanger, as HBO plans to adapt the story of The Last of Us Part II across three seasons in total. Here at Kotaku, I’ve been recapping each episode of the show, and I have not been having a good time. Frankly, I find it to be a mostly…
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be able to play most original Switch games without any issues when it launches on June 5. According to an update from Nintendo, most big games and all first-party titles (with one tiny exception) will work on Switch 2, though you might need an update or an old Joy-Con.
Switch 2 hardware appears to be officially out in the wild, but it doesn’t sound like anyone will be able to play the console early. A day-one patch is needed for it to fully work, according to someone who uploaded a brief unboxing video of the new Nintendo console to YouTube.
Oblivion Remastered features an impressive 21 Standard Classes, along with the option to craft a Custom Class. The options, rangeing from Combat-oriented to Magic-types to the all-time favorite Stealth-focused archer because, let’s face it, there’s no room for a simple thief when the bow and arrow exist, right?
Most Final Fantasy fans have probably heard about the upcoming FF-themed set coming to Magic: The Gathering on June 12th. One of the biggest products of the collaboration is a collection of four pre-constructed decks for MTG’s popular “Commander” format. Each deck will focus on a different game in the long-running…
Since the game’s launch, and for every season thereafter, I’ve told myself I’d dive in and play a different class. But I don’t. I always play Barbarian. Despite nerfs and buffs and stagnation, it’s a go-to class for many that, now in season eight, continues to excel. In this case, my preference doesn’t affect the…
Bringing your best gear is a fundamental part of playing Monster Hunter Wilds. No enemy is too tough when you have the appropriate mix of weapons, armor, and mantles. While your hunter will always bring the sneaking Ghillie Mantle with them, they’re able to choose one more to aid in combat.
Clint Barton has been the brunt of a lot of jokes in the Marvel universe. He may be, “just a guy with a bow and arrow,” but he’s also incredibly powerful Duelist in Rivals. If you have great aim, he can carry you and your team to victory time and time again.
Nintendo’s next big console, the Switch 2, is set to arrive on store shelves in just 10 days. So it’s not surprising to see photos showing dozens of Switch 2 consoles sitting in store warehouses and back areas. However, I wasn’t expecting a bunch of Switch 2 consoles to be sitting in a metal cage in the middle of a…
Thanks to a bizarre and unlikely confluence of events including an ongoing trade war with China, you can currently get a PlayStation 5 Pro for less than the most expensive Xbox Series X. That deal isn’t likely to last long but it speaks to what a mess video game pricing has been this console generation.
Backlash against Disney’s live-action remakes is nothing new. The movies are widely panned by fans who see them as vapid cash grabs that are almost always inferior to the original animated classics. Despite this, almost all of them have been box-office hits, so there’s no real incentive on Disney’s part to rethink its…
Mission: Impossible isn’t simply a cool franchise title, it’s become a promise and a challenge. With each new entry in the collection, Mission: Impossible filmmakers seem to make it their goal to put Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team in a maze of interconnected circumstances that seem, at the very least,…
