Destiny‘s new DLC is out today, and with it comes a brand new strike called The Will of Crota that also doubles as the weekly heroic. Of course, the game doesn’t do a very good job of explaining how you can unlock and play that strike. That’s what we’re here for. It’ll take you about…
Are you a Destiny player who didn’t buy today’s new expansion pack, The Dark Below? Hope you don’t plan on doing this week’s heroic strike. Because you can’t. Since the weekly strike is currently “The Will of Crota”—the new strike packed with Destiny‘s $20 expansion—players without the DLC won’t be able to do it. It’s…
Hello. How are you? HAVE A MINE. Hearthstone‘s ‘Goblins vs. Gnomes’ expansion pack is out today, and it brings some 100+ new cards to Blizzard’s addictive digital card game. There’s no new adventure like there was earlier this year with Curse of Naxxramas, but this expansion does give us access to a truckload of ridiculous…
Destiny is fun and all, but you know what it really needs? Paul McCartney’s hologram flailing his arms while a group of guardians sits in a semi-circle, peacefully contemplating what it means to be human. Fortunately, McCartney’s got us covered, thanks to this hilariously corny music video that combines mawkish pop music with some of…
Nintendo’s surprise Zelda footage reveal was the highlight of the Game Awards last Friday night, and with it came a close look at what appears to be the full world map for the upcoming Wii U game. Of course, the Internet is already exploding with theories about what’s on that map and how it’s all…
Still bummed out about Square Enix’s major Final Fantasy VII tease on Saturday? Well, I can’t help you there. But at least I can share this rad fan video, created over four months with the help of some 100+ artists, that essentially tells all of Cloud’s story, from Midgar to the Promised Land. It’s really…

I wasn’t really sold on The Order 1886 before. Even after playing the upcoming PS4 shooter during this year’s E3, I left feeling like it was just another Gears of War-style gun-and-cover game. This trailer, though… well, I’m starting to change my mind. I totally want to hijack airships and assassinate nobles in steampunk Victorian…
This evening at The Game Awards, Trey Parker ran away with the Best Performance award thanks to his portrayal of a whole ton of characters in South Park: The Stick of Truth.

That’s why we’re stoked for this weekend. Consider this a PSA: you’ll want to check Kotaku even…
I guess it was only a matter of time. Tonight’s episode of South Park, titled #REHASH, was all about pop stars, holograms, and the one and only Pewdiepie. Like many folks above a certain age—including a lot of Kotaku readers—the kids of South Park just don’t get the appeal of the polarizing Pewdiepieand other YouTubers…

One month. Two speedrunners. 21 Final Fantasy games. It’s an insane, sleep-depriving mission that will likely drive both participants insane: for the entire month of December, two gamers are going head to head in a live race to beat the entire single-player Final Fantasy catalog, plus some extras, like X-2 and Lightning Returns. (Here’s the…
Next year’s Assassin’s Creed game will take place in London during the 19th century, Kotaku has learned thanks to an early leak. Farewell, Napoleon; hello, Jack the Ripper?
