Good morning. Unfortunately, I swear it’s not my fault but yes, today is Tuesday, aka the worst day of the week. But hey, at least we are here together to enjoy another installment of Kotaku’s Morning Checkpoint, a daily round-up of video game news and other stuff you might care about. Today, we have data on how well Elden Ring‘s DLC is selling, a weird Stranger Things crossover, and a report of a new 2K studio with connections to that canceled Perfect Dark game. Bosses Behind Canned Perfect Dark Reboot Reportedly Creating New 2K Studio First announced in 2020 and…

A coin minted during the reign of one of Great Britain’s most famous monarchs recently fetched a record price at auction. The officially designated Elizabeth I (1558-1603) gold “Ship” Ryal of 15 Shillings ND (1584-1586) MS63 NGC sold for $372,000 by Heritage Auction in November. The sale set a world record for an Elizabeth Ship Ryal sold at auction. A ryal was a gold coin typically from Scotland, but is not currently minted in the United Kingdom. One ryal was generally equivalent to 60 shillings and…
Pebble , a smart ring for recording thoughts. It’s a little ring with a built-in microphone and that’s about it. The Index 01 is almost anti-tech in its simplicity. There’s no needless AI component shoehorned in, aside from speech-to-text. It’s a ring with a microphone that you whisper ideas into and I want one.Here’s how it works. You get an idea while walking down the street, so you quietly whisper it into the ring. The ring sends the idea to a notes app or saves it for later review. Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky calls this an “external memory” for the…
In one of those cases, a judge lifted the hold on construction, ruling that a lack of a sound justification for the hold made it “the height of arbitrary and capricious,” a legal standard that determines whether federal decision-making is acceptable under the Administrative Procedures Act. If this were a fictional story, that would be considered foreshadowing. With no indication of how long the comprehensive assessment would take, 17 states sued to lift the hold on permitting. They were joined by the Alliance for Clean Energy New York, which represents companies that build wind projects or feed their supply chain.…
There’s an awkward phenomenon that happens with this job from time to time: you might play something for a bit pre-release, not feel it at all, and then see a bunch of your respected peers start lauding it with praise. You expected this game to come and go with minimal chatter, but now people you know and trust are assuring you it’s worth seeing through. That’s what happened to me with Skate Story, a game I (perhaps dismissively) said “could have been a screensaver” and I would have liked it more. But hey, I’m not so closed-minded that I’m not…
It has been two months since Google released the Pixel Watch 4 and now the company is introducing new updates to the wearable. In our review, Engadget managing editor Cherlynn Low was impressed enough with the watch to give it an 86, but called out the lack of gesture-based interactions. The new one-handed gesture features, like double pinch and wrist turn, should make up for that.In an industry that involves constant borrowing of ideas, it should come as no surprise that these features are very similar to those available on the Apple Watch. Double pinch works much the same to…

It’s difficult to resist raising an eyebrow at an Oklahoma robbery suspect’s alleged recent weapon-of-choice. According to several Oklahoma news outlets including WKTUL, a 24-year-old man was arrested on December 6 by Tulsa police after allegedly robbing a liquor store using what employees described as an “old-timey musket.” Authorities soon apprehended and charged the suspect before providing some additional details about the weapon. “For those who are curious, the firearm is likely from the mid-1800s and…
Artemis IV will mark the second lunar landing of the Artemis program and build upon what is learned at the moon’s south pole on Artemis III. “After his voyage to the Moon’s surface during Apollo 17, astronaut Gene Cernan acknowledged the challenge that lunar dust presents to long-term lunar exploration. Moon dust sticks to everything it touches and is very abrasive,” read NASA’s announcement of the Artemis IV science payloads.

King of Meat developer Glowmade will layoff “around a dozen people” early next year, according to a new report from Insider Gaming. These “voluntary redundancies” come just two months after the multiplayer party game hit Steam and after it reportedly failed to hit an ambitious 100,000 concurrent player target. King of Meat peaked at just 320 people on PC instead. Over the past few days, several Glowmade developers posted to LinkedIn that they’re looking for work. The U.K.-based studio published King of Meat in October, backed by Amazon Game Studio. Insider Gaming reported that discussions around the layoffs began earlier…
The Game Awards 2025 edition of the Day of the Devs digital showcase goes live on Wednesday, December 10 at 1PM ET on Twitch and YouTube. That’s more than 30 hours before The Game Awards itself kicks off, which makes perfect sense. It is called Day of the Devs, after all, and if we’re judging by past appearances, the event absolutely deserves its own full 24 hours in the spotlight.This year, the Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Digital Showcase will feature 22 indie titles, including three release date announcements and six world premieres. That’s a packed show, even…
