NBA 2K25 Season 2 is launching alongside Gravity Ball, a paid DLC that’s “American-Gladiators-meets-futuristic-basketball-meets-paintball”

NBA 2K25 is already a huge thing, and it’s about to get even larger, thanks to fact its second season of content is launching alongside a new paid DLC game mode thingy that’ll see you try to outscore your mates while flying about on a futuristic multitiered court littered with power-ups. Yep, it’s called Gravity Ball and it’ll be accessible via The City – 2K25’s already bustling MyPlayer hub that, as I covered in my...

Analogue 3D is set to be the most luxe N64 ever made – and the gorgeous $250 box will be up for pre-order later this month

Boutique retro gaming company Analogue has announced that the Analogue 3D, its latest console, will finally ship in Q1 of 2025 – and we also have our first ever images of the final console. Pre-orders will be live soon. While retro revivals and special boxes are becoming ever more common and popular, Analogue remains one of the gold standards of the space. The way I’ve always explained it to people is this: while a lot...

Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 28 is good news for idiots like me who’ve already installed more mods than they can count, and also for Wyll stans

Bonjour, Baldur’s Gate 3‘s getting a nice new hotfix for all platforms today, October 16, and as you’d expect for the first one to drop since Patch 7 brought mods to everyone, it’s got a lot of fixes that should help those who’re keen to – or have already – unleashed a big load (order) of stuff on their game. Judging by the numbers Larian’s put out, it seems that’s plenty of people too, so...

Keep Driving is in Steam Next Fest, and it reminds me of that time I drove halfway across the country to a lake not that far from my house

There comes a point in the journey when you’re thinking to yourself ‘hang on, I didn’t think it’d take this f**king long’. The roads just keep coming, and with them space between A and B where things can get in the way of you getting from A to B. This would be fine, if you knew what you were doing, but, annoyingly, you’re a borderline useless twerp still trying to recover from acne. And, worst...

Windblown is the perfect roguelite for dashing sickos, and the fact it has three-player co-op only sweetens the deal

Have you ever wished Hades starred cuddly (but lethal) animals and had co-op? If your answer is positive, you ought to check out Motion Twin‘s Windblown, whose early access launch is just around the corner and is preceded by a killer Steam Next Fest demo. If the studio’s name sounds familiar, it’s because the team put out one of the roguelite-Metroidvania subgenre’s best, Dead Cells. Now, it’s going for a different approach, starting with a...

The demo for Building Relationships made me horny for a windmill, and you could be next with Steam Next Fest

Objectophilia. That’s the closest word I could find that might potentially represent the feeling of being attracted to a building, though it’s more just attraction to general inanimate objects. After playing Building Relationships, though, I think they’re going to have to invent a new word thanks to all the people this is going to awaken something in. Yes, there is now a game where you can be horny for literal buildings, and you know...

Sparking! Zero Made Me Watch Dragon Ball Super

Image: Spike Chunsoft / Bandai Namco I’ve been a grumpy old man about all things Dragon Ball for far too long. As your typical non-manga-reading, mainstream-anime-watching child of Toonami, I drew a line in the sand a few episodes into Dragon Ball Super when I first gave it a chance. I wasn’t going to continue watching because its earliest episodes didn’t feel like the action anime I’d grown up with. Likewise, before Sparking! Zero, I...

Easy Halloween Costumes To Buy For That Last-Minute Party

Photo: Taylor Hill/Getty Images (Getty Images) Halloween is on a Thursday this year, which means those parties you’ll be hitting will arrive almost a full week earlier than the spooktacular holiday. With the festivities beginning as early as Friday, October 25, your annual chance at costumed debauchery is frighteningly close, and you have even less time to procrastinate on getting your outfit together than usual. Luckily, we nerds here at Kotaku love a good costume...

Sounds like Henry Cavill isn’t the only familiar face we won’t be seeing in The Witcher season 4, as Vesemir’s reportedly being recast too

Uh oh, it’s sounding like The Witcher season 4 will have even more new faces, as the actor behind Vesemir has also reportedly been replaced. We’ve known for quite a while now (two years in fact) that when The Witcher season 4 rocks up presumably sometime next year it won’t be Henry Cavill playing the one and only Geralt of Rivia, but Liam Hemsworth. It was a choice that didn’t exactly go down...

Christopher Nolan “flirted” with the James Bond franchise at some point, but do we really want him to make one of those?

As Christopher Nolan prepares his next movie at Universal, more has been revealed about his post-Tenet relationship with Warner Bros. and whether he’s had serious talks about James Bond in the past. The latter feels like a given, but do we really want that from him? Variety shed some light on where Nolan is at right now, how his previous studio tried to lure him back after a falloff following Tenet’s release strategy, and whether...
