Now that the Tokyo Olympics hasscrapped plans for that stupidly expensive stadium, it can focus on other things. Like questions over its new logo. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics logo was revealed this week with a fancy intro clip. Art director Kenjiro Sano, one of Japan’s top graphic artists, designed the logo. According to the official…
Nexon is working with EA and Respawn for an online Titanfall for PC. Yes, the original Titanfall was already an online multiplayer title, so we do wonder how different it will be! The official release mentions free to play and that the game is for the Asian market.
Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are getting a live-action version, but it might not be one you’d expect. One Piece is being turned into a kabuki play that will center on the Summit War Saga and, according to Natalie, will be done in a way that audience members who aren’t familiar with…

Microsoft’s Xbox boss Phil Spencer has told The Verge that the company is working on a way for users to be able to stream their PC games to an Xbox One console. We knew that Windows 10 (which is out today) would let you do theopposite (Xbox One-to-PC), but PC-to-Xbox One streaming is new. “We…
Ian Jun Wei Chiew is an artist currently working at Sony’s Sucker Punch. In the past he’s worked on games like Forza 6 and a bunch of other stuff that hasn’t even been announced yet. His art is…well, just look at it. So fresh and so clean. You can see more of Ian’s work at…
There’s a man in our office, let’s call him Danny. Because his name is actually Danny. Danny plays a lot of FIFA. He’s actually quite good at FIFA. Danny is also one of the gentlest human beings I’ve ever met. Softly spoken. Lovely. Nice. Cordial. These are words you would use to describe Danny in…
Now if we can just scale it, we’ll be able to kick those Kaiju’s asses. Danny Benedettelli has built a LEGO model and exoskeleton that lets him control a small robot with his body. As MAKE reports, it uses LEGO Mindstorm and an Android phone, and while the idea of this kind of control is…
Can you hear that? Listen closely….it’s the ghost of a very cool 90s arcade game… Via RPS, Tokyo Warfare is an indie shooter for the PC that takes some very heavy cues from Namco’s classic Tokyo Wars, an arcade game from the mid-90’s that I remember spending way too much money on. The similarities are…
Most times, when you stop hearing about a game in development, it’s dead. It’s kinda fitting, then, that a game called Zombie Playground—which we first wrote about in 2012!—hasn’t just reappeared, but is playable on Early Access
In October 2014, Kevin Kanai Griffith, a Blizzard artist who had worked on both World of Warcraft and Diablo, passed away. This month, the company honours him with a big update for Diablo III. Patch 2.3.0 introduces something called Kanai’s Cube, a predecessor of the game’s “iconic” Horadric Cube. Blizzard says it’s “a huge new…
I was re-watching Patlabor 2 the other day, and there’s a scene in that movie that I just can’t get out of my head. It’s actually the scene that made me re-watch the film in the first place; I’d pulled it up last week when trying to explain—in a conversation about why I don’t watch…
Should I care about The Swindle? Yes. It’s randomized stealth, a heist game that could last you until the end of time (but probably won’t). What’s it about? It’s the past-present steampunk future, and in 100 days The Man is gonna deploy a security system so advanced that cool-ass heisters with cool-ass heist zeppelins won’t…
Do you miss Angel? You remember it, right? The Buffy spinoff where the hunky vampire-with-a-soul was a PI who worked cases involving mystical creatures? Well, there’s a new comic book series that’s similar in concept but with a few different twists. Wolf #1 starts with a man who’s been set on fire, walking down the…
Back in the day, arcades were no stranger to all sort of bullshit myths about cabinets and the games they housed. In this internet tall tale, one of those myths is true—and it’s the stuff of nightmares. Chilling Tales For Dark Nights has uploaded a great creepypasta that you should listen to if you have…
Joe Lauzon knew his opponent was done. Problem is, the referee didn’t. Over the weekend, UFC on Fox 16 saw TJ Dillashaw demolish Brazilian skull crusher Renan Barao even more decisively than he did the first time around. And while it was a stunning display of hot fist-on-face action, it wasn’t the defining moment of…
Evan isn’t the only person reading comics around here. Here are some recent surprise favorites of mine. I didn’t expect to be recommending any of these to you: Crossed + 100 #6 Above art drawn by Gabriel Andrade, colored by Digikore I’ve long avoided most of the Crossed comics, a more vile riff on zombie…
The Witcher 3. It just won’t leave us alone. It won’t get out of our heads While most of us here at Kotaku have at least dabbled in the game, four of us have been playing it regularly, and just can’t stop talking about it. So we sat down yesterday to discuss just what about…
Blizzard has benched the best assassin in its up-and-coming MOBA Heroes of the Storm, banning StarCraft star Zeratul from use in the game’s first real round of professional tournaments for the indefinite future. While Blizzard hasn’t exactly confirmed this, the Zeratul ban sure seems like it stems from a bug of some sort that was…
God damnit. There is nothing relaxing or meditative about N++. Most of the time, I’m uttering inappropriate words under my breath, clenching my fists, sweating profusely, and hoping I don’t mess up the next jump. And when I do, there’s a good chance I’m going to scream. If you’re wondering “hey, haven’t I heard of…
