That game was Sol Cresta, which is even listed with the other nine as part of its Neo Classic Arcade line-up. It almost feels like too much effort for an April Fool’s gag (one of them even has detailed character art) and the last time Platinum made a ‘fake’ game announcement for April Fool’s, it wound up being real. PlatinumGames announced nine new games in active development, with names like High-Speed Action Racing and Apocalyptic Giant Robot Fighting that hint at their genres.

White Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is £45 cheaper but still not actually cheap PlatinumGames announces nine new games and we can’t tell if they’re fakeĮasily the most infuriating joke of the bunch, because it may not even be a joke. They even have brand-new artwork on them as well, featuring a sharply drawn Sonic staring across the landscape at a mysterious looming tower. At least until they realise that all the limited edition’s goodies are for the bathroom, barring the Game Gear handheld console that Sega admits isn’t waterproof.įunnily enough, items like the wooden bathtub and hand towel look like genuine products that some fans would pay money for. One of the first April Fool’s jokes to pop up, desperate Sonic The Hedgehog fans may have fallen for this one with how eager they are for news on the next game. Sonic Frontiers limited edition is just a bath set The way Enhance tries to sell you bog standard water that it admits to filtering from its Tokyo office is deserving of a chuckle. The website announcement almost looks legitimate with how it advertises its energy drink, but it gives the game away when it starts promoting green tea and cold brew coffee in a can. Enhance Games, the publisher for visually stunning puzzle games Tetris Effect and Rez Infinite, announced that it would be entering the ‘beverage space’ with a line-up of flavoured drinks. This one’s definitely a contender for oddest April Fool’s joke of the year. Tetris Effect studio selling energy drinks Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because Konami will likely have it taken down before long. While it’s sad to know that hasn’t changed, the website’s true nature is amusing, offering Konami memorial NFTs that just link you to the Metal Gear website, perhaps to raise awareness and encourage people into asking Konami for some re-releases. The only other real differences, according to the game’s website, are a new ‘neigh’ kill sound and a new kill animation for imposters, one Innersloth describes as ‘anticlimactic.’ It’s only available until April 2 and, while you probably won’t be missing out on much, it’s worth giving it a go so you and friends can horse around. As you can guess from the name, it turns crewmates into horses or, rather, gives them horse-like bodies.

Innersloth has added a free update to its social deduction game Among Us, called Horse Mode. Actually, this is starting to veer into something more Halloween appropriate. The official website suggests that Professor Willow has been replaced with one too and maybe even you are a Ditto. In Niantic’s case, it’s filled Pokémon Go with almost nothing but Ditto, the little pinkish blob whose only gimmick is that it can transform into other pokémon. The best April Fool’s gags are usually ones that temporarily impact actual gameplay, allowing for harmless but entertaining deviations you’d otherwise never experience.
