How To Defeat Akechi Mitsuhide And The Final Onryo In Assassin's Creed Shadows

3 days ago | kotaku.com | Justin Clark

It’s finally come to this, the final members of the Shinbakufu are in your sights, and while this isn’t the end of Naoe and Yasuke’s journey—do not get me started on the endgame thing with Hanzo, we don’t have four hours to spend being angry—it’s certainly the bang the game deserves to go out on. Get in loser, we’ve got a traitor to kill.
Yes, You Can Change Outfits In Nightreign, But Not At First

6 days ago | kotaku.com | Billy Givens

The original Elden Ring allowed you to create a character and deck them out in any number of unique pieces of armor to truly show off your fashion skills. However, multiplayer spin-off Nightreign features fixed character classes and progress that resets after every run, so you won’t be finding any sick armor to wear in this one. Instead, you’ll need to purchase and change full outfits for each character if you want to look different.
Is Nightreign Solo Play Really Impossible?

6 days ago | kotaku.com | Billy Givens

Elden Ring Nightreign is a tough-as-nails game that blends the beloved roguelike and soulslike genres into something fans of both should find appealing. However, unlike most games in either genre, this one’s inherently designed around working together in a group of three. So, you may be wondering if you can strike out on your own in Elden Ring Nightreign. While the game is about to get easier for folks who choose to go it alone, right now such a style proves an exceptionally difficult challenge.

The Epic Game Store is currently giving away two PC games that are both very good, but also extremely different. First up, you can grab a free copy of the beloved indie platformer Limbo.

FromSoftware’s next big RPG, Elden Ring Nightreign, is out now on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. But you probably already know that, considering the game reached over 300,000 players on Steam alone. For those of you venturing forth into this new Souls-like RPG alone, I have good news: Things are going to get easier next week.

New King Of The Hill Intro Implies A Lot Has Changed In Season 14

1 week ago | kotaku.com | Zack Zwiezen

King of the Hill is back. The popular animated sitcom from Mike Judge is returning for a 14th season on Hulu. But, as shown in the show’s new intro sequence, a lot has changed in Arlen, Texas. The original King of the Hill ran on Fox from 1997 to 2009. In that time, it produced 13 seasons and over 250 episodes. The first talks of reviving the grounded adult animated sitcom started back in 2017, before Disney had bought 2oth Century Fox.
Six Albums To Rip And Tear To After You've Finished Doom: The Dark Ages

1 week ago | kotaku.com | Justin Clark

Doom The Dark Ages is an interesting little beast. It’s still Doom at heart, in the vein of the last two games. But the vibe is just so very different, and not just because of the medieval setting. It’s the Army of Darkness of Doom games, if you follow. That goes double for the music, and while there’s, uh, obvious reasons for that. Fact remains, this is a game where you’re an absolute unit, ripping demons to shreds; but there’s way more Warhammer shit in its veins than before.

Cooperation is the name of the game in Elden Ring Nightreign, so it’s good to know how to communicate well with your party to help one another succeed. And since loot is one of an expedition’s most important aspects, you’ll want to be certain everyone’s working together to find the best stuff for each member of your group.
Let's Get You Some More Stonesword Keys In Elden Ring Nightreign

1 week ago | kotaku.com | Billy Givens

Clearing bosses on the map in Elden Ring Nightreign is generally the best way to level up quickly, so you’ll want to prioritize anything that grants you access to these big baddies. One great way to do this is to find Stonesword Keys, which can open gaols found around Limveld that will let you tackle a (usually) simple boss for a huge chunk of runes. Unfortunately, Stonesword Keys can be difficult to come by.
