Overwatch is great and all, but I’ve got Trails of Cold Steel to catch up on. See, I’m only up to Chapter 4 of Falcom’s excellent (but slow-paced) JRPG, and I’ve gotta crank through the rest of the game in time for E3. There’s apparently a big twist at the end, and there’s no way…
Some Minecraft players like to build houses, or castles, or mazes full of monsters. Others prefer to recreate the entirety of Destiny Player infered5’s pet project is to remake all of Bungie’s space dress-up sim in the blocky world of Minecraft, and he’s done a pretty good job so far. Check out this footage for…
Bethesda had said Fallout 4 mods would come to Xbox in May, and they’re delivering. Xbox One players will get to start making all their characters naked on May 31. For PS4 you’ll have to wait a bit later; Bethesda says mods are still on track to come to PlayStation in June.
GTA Online is getting a big new expansion next month. Called Further Adventures in Finance and Felony, it’ll let you run your own criminal organization and sell contraband across Los Santos. Still no word on the single-player DLC that was promised oh so long ago.
It’s Friday, and I’m the only one manning Kotaku today, so naturally we’re going to talk about JRPGs. Or, as the case may be, MMOJRPGs. First of all, here’s a new trailer for the next update to Final Fantasy XIV, which comes out on June 7: So much content! Sucks about the whole monthly fee…
Steins;Gate Zero is coming to the west on both PS4 and Vita, courtesy of PQube, the same publisher that brought over Steins;Gate.

Old-school NES fans might have fond memories of StarTropics, an action-adventure game that crosses Zelda with Indiana Jones. Starting today, you can play both it and its sequel on your Wii U. StarTropics, which first came out in 1990, had the rare distinction of being only released in Europe and the U.S., not Japan. Still…
The folks behind Minecraft are adding a set of new mini-games, starting with a competitive multiplayer mode that will release on consoles in June.

The ambitious space game No Man’s Sky has been delayed, two sources tell Kotaku. We don’t know exactly what the new release date is—and it may not be finalized yet—but we’re hearing it’s been bumped until at least July or August. Developed by a small UK-based team called Hello Games, No Man’s Sky has been…
“And make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night,” says the cringey narrator in this new trailer for Mighty No. 9, a video game starring anime characters. It’s as horrible as it sounds. One might think that, after several delays and a great deal of fan skepticism for Mighty No. 9…
Microsoft is preparing at least two new Xbox models for release in the next two years, sources tell Kotaku.

Stellaris, a grand strategy game set in space, has characters who come in a variety of species and races. Naturally, someone made a mod to turn all the humans white. The mod, “European Phenotype and Names Only,” makes it so your Stellaris rulers and heirs will all be white people with European names, which is…
For close to a decade, details about the multiplayer game that Blizzard called Project Titan have remained secret and elusive. Today we’d like to change that. In the wake of news that Blizzard has officially cancelled Titan, we can share a bit about what the project was meant to be: a massive multiplayer PC game…

Just three weeks after launching, Gearbox’s hero shooter Battleborn is already down from $60 to $40 both at retail and digital. And oh, hey, did you know that Overwatch goes live today? It’s quite the coincidence that Blizzard launched the Overwatch beta on the day Battleborncame out, and it’s even more of a coincidence that…
Uncharted 4 sold over 2.7 million copies in week one, Sony said today. That’s both digital and physical, and it’s an especially impressive number when you consider that it’s only available on one console. Wonder if people over there are starting to rethink the whole “last Uncharted game” thing?
