At Microsoft’s E3 press conference on Sunday, Sea of Thieves studio Rare showed off some of the latest DLC coming to its piratey Xbox One/PC game. Later at the show, we talked with the game’s executive producer about how the studio plans to keep that pace up over the months to come. As part of…
We’ve been running special E3 episodes of Kotaku Splitscreen all week. Some have gotten their own Kotaku articles, and some haven’t yet. You can listen to them all on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or directly on our feed. We’ll be back to regular programming next week. Thanks for listening!
Did you know Nintendo just unveiled a new Smash Bros. game for Switch, and that it features every fighter in the history of the series? You say you did know that? Oh, okay. At E3 in Los Angeles, my colleague Jason Schreier sat down with Kotaku senior reporter (and Smash expert) Cecilia D’Anastasio to talk…
It’s hard to talk about CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 without talking about the studio’s last game, The Witcher 3. And so it came to be that a lot of our E3 interview with Cyberpunk’s quest designer involved discussion of both games. As part of Kotaku Splitscreen’s ongoing coverage of E3 2018, my colleague Jason…
Sure, everyone’s worried about Cayde. But what Destiny 2 players have really been worried about lately is that, come September’s Forsaken expansion, we’re going to have to say goodbye to all our hard-earned gear. Fortunately, today the expansion’s director told PC Gamer that won’t be the case. In Destiny 2, you spend a lot of…
If you like playing a lot of big new video games at the same time, next February is going to be your month. As the flood of E3 press conferences washed over us these last few days, I and many others started to notice we kept hearing the same release month: February 2019. Seemingly every…
The new trailer for Destiny 2: Forsaken hints at a shocking story twist, but at least one player saw the whole thing coming days ago. Last night at Sony’s E3 press conference, Bungie debuted a brief story trailer for Destiny 2’s upcoming Forsaken expansion. The trailer indicated that a beloved character is going to die,…
The E3 press conferences are over, and there’s a lot to talk about. Maybe not as much as we were hoping for, but still a lot. On this third episode of Kotaku Splitscreen’s E3 coverage, Jason and I talk through our feelings on Sony’s big show last night and Nintendo’s Smashstravaganza this morning. We also…
Today Nintendo closed out the 2018 E3 press gauntlet with a streamed conference that was largely focused on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with only a few other announcements peppered in for flavor.

Tonight at Sony’s PlayStation E3 press conference, they showed off a handful of games including The Last of Us Part II, some more Spider-Man, and the gorgeous-looking Ghost of Tsushima. They also announced Nioh 2. Good night for samurai games! The show was logistically odd, as attendees were herded through a couple of different locations…
Another day, another bunch of E3 press conferences. Let’s talk about them! On the second episode of Kotaku Splitscreen’s special E3 coverage, Jason Schreier and I talked about everything we liked (and didn’t like) about Bethesda’s press conference from last night, Square Enix’s letdown of a show this morning, and Ubisoft’s reliably daffy extravaganza earlier…
It’s the third day of E3 press conferences, and Ubisoft just took their turn. The Parisian publisher showed a bunch of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, some hot Skull & Bones pirates, and announced a Star Fox crossover as well as a new Trials game. Let’s go over everything Ubisoft announced. They started with an appropriately ridiculous…
It’s the third day of E3 press conferences, and Square Enix just showed up with… well, with a pretty disappointing show.

Bethesda capped off the second day of E3 press conferences by showing a bunch more Fallout 76, announcing Doom and Wolfenstein sequels, and teasing The Elder Scrolls VI as well as a new sci-fi game called Starfield The show got off to a slow start but picked up steam as it went, with an unexpected…

Personally speaking, I’m most excited about that last…
Here’s a safe prediction: there will be some video game announcements next week at E3. But what about the wilder predictions? This week on Kotaku Splitscreen, Jason Schreier and I talked E3 rumors and made a bunch of guesses about what we’ll see during video gaming’s big annual announce-a-palooza. You can listen to the episode…
This morning in Los Angeles, Electronic Arts kicked off E3 2018 with a press conference in which they announced a new Star Wars game, an Unravel sequel, and took a longer look at BioWare’s upcoming RPG Anthem, which is out next February. It was a straightforward way to begin E3: light on major news, with…
This week, Destiny 2’s semi-regular Faction Rally event has returned with a lot of changes. Those changes are all for the better, particularly if you want to spend hours chasing hard-to-get rewards. Faction Rally is a weeklong event that turns up every month or so in Destiny 2. At the start of the week (Destiny…
You know how you tell yourself you’re gonna finally try some new restaurants, then a week later you’re back at the same pizza place you always go to?
