If You’ve Played Undertale, You Must Play Deltarune

Last week, Undertale designer Toby Fox released a free new game called Deltarune, and you may be wondering if it’s worth your time. Well, yes. Yes it is. If you enjoyed Undertale even a tiny bit, you should really go play Deltarune ASAP. It’s not clear whether Deltarune is a prequel, a sequel, or an alternate…

Fan-Made PT Remake Captures The Original’s Terrifying Scares

P.T, the demo for Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro’s ill-fated Silent Hills, has gained a deep cult following since its release and eventual de-listing from the PlayStation store after Kojima split with Konami. A new PC remake captures most of the experience for those who don’t still have it on our PlayStations. The PC…

The Week In Games: Full Metal Tetris

It’s another week in video games! The Switch gets a lot of ports this week, the PS4 gets The Tetris Effect, and the PC will see a new Leisure Suit Larry. We have a lot of big games on the horizon too, with Fallout 76, Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevvee, and Hitman 2 leading the…

From Software’s VR Game Deraciné Is Short And Unsettling

Deraciné, the first PlayStation VR game from Dark Souls maker From Software, definitely isn’t for everyone. It’s a brief, slow-paced, story-heavy game set in a boarding school. You solve puzzles with an inventory of items in classic adventure game fashion, but unlike most classic adventure games, these puzzles are quite easy. Deraciné is more about…

League Of Legends Made A K-Pop Video

And it’s…good? Just because they can, Riot Games has taken four of League of Legends’ champions and put them in a K-Pop band. Then got French studio Fortiche to make a very expensive music video for them. I think it’s an ad for new skins? Whatever it is, if every other major video game/series could…

There’s Official Cosplay Of The Newest Overwatch Hero, Ashe

Like they have the last few times there’s been a new character reveal, Blizzard got in touch with props and costume builders Henchmen Studios to create an almost 1:1 real-life replica of Ashe’s outfit and gear. Cosplayer Karolina Lefaywas brought in to actually wear the gear, and really, if we get any more of these…

The WoW Classic Demo Is The Hell We Asked For

Chuck Norris references. Anal jokes. Killing two dozen raptors to harvest ten raptor heads. The Barrens. Shit, after two hours of the World of Warcraft Classic demo, I’m still in the Barrens. It’s an inescapable nightmare, which is to say it’s perfect. We wanted it hard, and Blizzard is giving it to us hard. The…

Fortnite‘s Cube Explodes, Briefly Transports Players To New Dimension

During an in-game event today, Fortnite’s cube (known to fans as Kevin) exploded—and then things got weird. At about 1pm EST today, Fortnite’s cube began to pulse, then glow and spin. When the spinning reached a fever pitch, a burst of white light shot from the cube, transporting players to a white, Matrix-meets-The Good Place-esque…

We’re Bummed Out By The PlayStation Classic

Why is the PlayStation Classic such a bummer? This week on Kotaku Splitscreen, we discuss that question and much more. First, Kirk and I break down the news of the week on the PlayStation Classic’s dismal list of games, that hilarious Fallout 76 beta bug, and the new game from the creator of Undertale Then…

Blizzard Says It Wasn’t Expecting Fans To Be This Angry About Diablo Immortal

Yesterday, during a BlizzCon Q&A shortly after the announcement of mobile game Diablo Immortal, a fan in a red shirt approached the mic. “Just was wondering,” he said in a deadpan tone, “is this an out-of-season April Fool’s joke?” The audience cheered. It was just the beginning of a very long weekend for Blizzard. The…

Poker Night At The Inventory Is An Awkward Time Capsule

This weekend, my friends are hosting a poker night, and I wanted to brush up on my poker skills. I haven’t played it for a decade, which might be why I thought it would make sense to relearn the ropes via Telltale Games’ 2010 Poker Night At The Inventory, a version of Texas hold ’em…

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey‘s Epic Mercenary Events Have Been Put On Hold

After a few failed attempts at Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Epic Mercenary Events, Ubisoft announced today that the event will be removed while they work out some issues. “Two weeks ago, when we attempted to launch the first Epic Mercenary Event with Damais the Indifferent, we discovered that the content didn’t properly appear for a majority…

As I rushed to an interview at BlizzCon this morning, I found my path blocked by a procession of murlocs. There were at least 30 of them—likely more. They were walking from the show floor to the convention center’s doors. For what purpose, we will probably never know.

Building A Better Star Wars Action Figure

Picking up an action figure of your favorite character at the store is all well and good, but what if you could spend several hours assembling one from scratch? Putting together these Star Wars character kits from Bandai and Bluefin is a lot more fun than it sounds. When I was a child, my father…
