Genshin Impact Is More Than A Breath Of The Wild Clone

There’s a lot to like about Genshin Impact, a free-to-play action-RPG that came out this week for PC, PlayStation 4, and mobile. While it might look a bit like Breath of the Wild, with its art style and mechanics, Genshin Impact stands on its own thanks to its combat, its quest and leveling systems, and,…

Pokémon Go To Pokémon Home Transfers Will Be A Little Annoying

The Pokémon Company announced yesterday that Pokémon Home support for Pokémon Go will arrive before the end of the year. But when it does it sounds like it will come with a weird caveat. Pokémon Home is the new version of the Pokémon Bank which lets you house Pokémon from just about every modern game…

Hades: The Kotaku Review

Hades is my game of the year. It’s also the game of the year. I don’t mean to say that Hades is objectively the best, because that’s an impossible metric (and also Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t out yet). Rather, developer Supergiant’s Greek mythology-flavored action roguelike is, improbably, the game that best characterizes the year 2020.…

Black Ops: Cold War Zombies Revealed, Will Connect To The Game’s Battle Pass This Time

Cross-play and Battle Pass Progression are finally coming to Call of Duty’s Zombies mode with the launch of November’s Black Ops: Cold War, meaning playing the popular mode will be less of a departure from the rest of the Call of Duty experience. That was the stand-out detail from today’s reveal video and trailer, which…

Twitch is introducing a new feature that gives streamers access to rights-cleared music. “Soundtrack by Twitch” will circumvent the DMCA takedown issues that have plagued streamers for years (and especially recently) by giving them access to Twitch-curated songs that the company actually has the rights to include in broadcasts.

Ar Tonelico‘s Music Chants Discordantly, Whispers Seductively

Welcome to Morning Music, Kotaku’s daily hangout for folks who love video games and the cool-ass sounds they make. Today we’re going to attempt to look past how blatantly horny the Ar Tonelico series is so we can focus on how good its music is. I wish us all luck. Created by Gust, the Japanese…

Kirby Is Now Selling Hamburgers In Japan

Since Kirby sucks up anything imaginable, it was only a matter of time before the character began selling hamburgers. That time has come. Mos Burger, the wonderful Japanese fast-food chain, has released burgers in Kirby paper packaging. The burgers themselves are Mos Burger’s typical meals—which are delicious and excellent in their own right. But check…

Anime Studio Bones Did A Pokémon Music Video And It’s Glorious

Famed anime studio Bones did a special Pokémon music video for the Japanese rock group Bump of Chicken. And the result is wonderful. The video jumps through a bunch of different anime styles, from contemporary to 1980s animation. It’s a pleasure to watch and makes me wish this was the blueprint for either a feature…

As the name suggests, Galarian Slowking is a variant of…
