We might be one step closer to getting to see Vaan’s emaciated, whiny abs in glorious HD. At a Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert in Pittsburgh Saturday night, composer Arnie Roth randomly announced that yes, Final Fantasy XII is getting a remake, much to fans’ surprise. Hitoshi Sakimoto, who scored FFXII, was also in attendance.…
Super Mario World was great for a lot of reasons, but I think it might have been the music of composer Koji Kondo that sticks out in my mind more than anything else. It’s even better when played on real instruments, and the talented musicians from YouTube channel moonbowmusicmovie very much do it justice with…
British actor Ian McShane is joining the cast of Game of Thrones in a role that reportedly will have a small amount of screen time but a lot of significance for Westeros. That’s according to a report from Entertainment Weekly, also confirmed by Variety. You might remember McShane from the last time he was involved…
Way back in my college days, The Orange Box came out for Xbox 360, and I was very excited. The Orange Box bundled a bunch of Valve games together, including Half-Life 2 as well as Episode 1 and Episode 2, plus Team Fortress 2 and, most exciting for me at the time, Portal. It was…
Bethesda might have sold out of Pip Boy editions of Fallout 4, never to make any again, but thanks to one enterprising fan, it’s still possible to get one of your own. You just need a 3D printer. Engineer Yvo de Haas used his know-how and 3D printing capabilities to whip up his own interpretation…

Good news everyone!

Greetings, Kotaku! It’s the weekend: my name is Phil Hornshaw, and I’ll be your guest editor for the next two glorious days. Yes, that’s a Mass Effect joke in the headline. I’m in Los Angeles and it’s early here, folks. We’re constantly at the mercy of the rest of the country having a better time…
Now that’s some cool-looking combat. We Shall Wake’s high-speed, higher-flying combat looks like it was conceived in a steamy love-making/127-episode planet-destroying battle between Dragon Ball Z and Dynasty Warriors. Enemies everywhere, like somebody cartwheel-kicked an ant hill. Punches and kicks roaring overhead like a storm. Development is ongoing, but it already looks sweet. If all…
Ronda Rousey looks more unbeatable each time she fights. She’s considered one of the most dominant athletes alive. Maybe it’s time for her to lose. To be clear, I’m not suggesting that a Rousey loss is in any way likely—especially not this weekend. Her opponent, Bethe Correia, is ranked seventh in the UFC women’s bantaweight…
Super Smash Bros. got a big update today, adding something that fans of Nintendo’s colorful mash-up fighting game have been eagerly awaiting: an online tournament mode.

This afternoon, we’re trying something new: we’re going to stream ourselves playing Destiny, a psychostimulant cosplaying as a video game. Gunning for Mercury in Trials of Osiris today will be me, Kotaku’s Kirk Hamilton, and our buddy Unstable, who is way better than any of us and will likely be carrying our team to 9-0.…
It’s called Vote to Play, and I’ve gotta admit, it’s pretty cool. There are some catches, of course. Sony platform marketing VP John Koller announced this new initiative on Sony’s blog today. Players can’t pick which games qualify for PlayStation Plus out of thin air, so it’s not like Fallout 4 is suddenly going to…
“I don’t want to set the world on fire,” the Ink Spots croon, but the truth is, I’ve just arrived outside Galaxy News Radio headquarters with every intention of detonating a nuclear warhead. When the Super Mutant Behemoth charges through the wreckage, bellowing, I’m ready. I take aim, then pull the trigger, letting loose nuclear…

Electronic duo USF have a new album out, and along with the album itself, have made a little interactive game thing (that changes as the music plays) you can play while you listen.It’s pretty cool! The game wasdesigned by Daniel Miller
Woah. Where did THAT come from, Life is Strange? Throughout most of Life Is Strange, the series points to specific villains who are no doubt responsible for the tragedies in Arcadia Bay. The latest episode, however, pulls a fast one on us—and looking at the numbers, it’s something nobody was expecting. Obviously, spoilers for the…
Ahead of next month’s DLC, the first Rocket League patch is live, and it brings some vital fixes. The full patch notes are available right here (if it’s not working, that’s because the developer’s website is getting hammered), but I’ll walk you through the highlights. “Quick Chat” commands can now be used cross-platform between PC…
The League of Legends pro Chae “Piglet” Gwang-jin wrecked another player during one of his recentlive-streaming sessions. That’s not really anything remarkable to see, coming from a pro of Piglet’s stature. What is hilarious and awesome about the play is his little victory dance after he’s finished wrecking. Watch this video a YouTuber captured from…
