The next global volcanic disaster is more likely to come from volcanoes that appear dormant and are barely monitored than from the likes of famous volcanoes such as Etna in Sicily or Yellowstone in the US.Often overlooked, these “hidden” volcanoes erupt more often than most people realise.

And their effects can be unexpected and far-reaching.One volcano has just done exactly that. In November 2025, the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia has erupted for the first time…
As the holiday week winds to a close, some of us on the east coast of the United States are patiently awaiting a few inches of snow (and hopefully not rain). I’m probably not alone in looking forward to a quiet weekend in which I can hopefully carve out an hour or two of relaxing game time before the end-of-year parties and the race back to the grindstone in 2026. If you’re looking for recommendations of what to play, here’s what we at Kotaku are making time for this weekend. Cast n Chill Wombat Brawler Play it on: PC, Switch…
On a clear winter night, the sky can look like a blanket of stars, but it isn’t a blanket — it’s a map. Constellations are the signposts to the stars, simple stick-figures that turn a random scatter of points of light into something you can recognize, remember and navigate by. Learn just a handful, and the whole winter sky begins to fall into place.December is the ideal time to start stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes, it’s cold, but the long nights allow you to start early and give you hours of darkness, while the northern winter sky is packed…

Oh hey, it’s been a while since we did one of these. Actually, before we get to my favorite games of 2025, here were my favorite games of 2024 that I was so rudely not allowed to tell y’all about last year. Metaphor: ReFantazio Dragon Age: The Veilguard Mouthwashing Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure 1000xResist Shadow Generations Persona 3 Reload Astro Bot Marvel Rivals Life Is Strange: Double Exposure I tend to get pretty reflective when I write these end-of-year lists. My 2022 list was written mere days after I started here at Kotaku, and my 2023 one was put together…

If streaming services’ year-in-review campaigns have shown us anything, it’s that we’ve spent a staggering amount of time drowning out the hum of everyday life with music, podcasts and audio series. And with some incredible new releases this year, we were really eatin’ good. Here are some of the Engadget team’s favorite things we listened to in 2025.Spiritbox – Tsunami SeaI became aware of Spiritbox in late 2024 shortly before the band dropped its latest album, Tsunami Sea. At the time, I was in a deep Sleep Token phase, and I don’t remember how I stumbled upon Spiritbox, but I’m…
Bungie’s Marathon was recently re-revealed ahead of a March 2026 release window and in addition to a number of new gameplay changes, the extraction shooter also looks surprisingly different from how it did during its 2025 alpha test. Whether that visual overhaul is good or not depends on who you ask. The glow-up has some fans more hyped than ever for the next multiplayer shooter from the makers of Halo and Destiny, but not everyone’s on board. While the studio recently released new gameplay footage as part of a recent vidoc previewing the work that’s gone into the game since it…

When we put together our top 20 games of last year, we specifically called out Civilization 7, Avowed, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Grand Theft Auto 6 as big franchise games we were already looking forward to for 2025. While one of those games has been delayed into 2026, the three others made this year’s list of Ars’ favorite games as expected. They join a handful of other highly anticipated sequels, ranging from big-budget blockbusters to long-gestating indies, on the “expected” side of this year’s list. But the games that really stood out for me in 2025 were the ones…
