Looks like it’s official: the Fallout 4 teaser website “TheSurvivor2299.com” was a hoax. Sorry, folks. A new Fallout game might be—is likely—in the works, but it’s not connected to that site, despite how deep their ARG-ish rabbit hole went. Don’t count on any announcements at the Spike VGX this weekend, either—Bethesda said yesterday they don’t…
Mickey Mouse now owns both Han Solo and his whip-bearing twin Indy—Disney has purchased the rights to the Indiana Jones franchise from Paramount, the film group that distributed the first four films in the beloved action/adventure series.

When you build something in the open-world sandbox game Minecraft, you can share it with your friends. You can invite people to hang out in your little world of blocks and pigs, or can put your creation on YouTube, to be admired and posted on Kotaku for the world to see. But you can’t sell…
Hey Squall, did you hear? Your game’s on Steam now. It’s kind of a big deal, dude. Because now tons of people can buy and play Final Fantasy VIII on their PCs? I mean, you must know what Steam is. Okay, sorry! I shouldn’t have assumed. Steam is this big network that lets people buy…

Today in Weird-Looking Games I’m Excited To Check Out, here’s the first US trailer for Danganronpa, NIS America’s crazy visual novel that’s supposed to be a cross between 999 and Phoenix Wright. It’s out for Vita on February 11. Psyched for this one.

Capy—the indie studio behind Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery—will release their next game, Super Time Force, on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The bad news: they’re delaying it to next year.
Warning: this post has spoilers for last night’s South Park. So it turned out South Park‘s entire Black Friday trilogy—three episodes of Game of Thrones-style warfare waged over the Xbox One and PS4—was just one big set up for South Park: The Stick of Truth Amazing. Check out the clip above for what will presumably…

Designed to help raise public awareness of the struggling…
Upworthy’s headlines are pretty great. We wrote some for video games. Enjoy.
While there is no way I’m not going to replay Final Fantasy VI on mobile—it’s one of my favorite games of all time, and I want it on my phone—these sprites are seriously bumming me out. They feel flat and boring and lifeless, like the artists were told to transform everyone into goofy, watered-down cartoon…
