Deus Ex: Human Defiance was a real thing, but it was cancelled, so they repurposed it into a joke.

Possibly the best joke slash ad for a game I've ever seen.

Reddit buys Team Fortress 2. Except not, because Valve pulled a fast one on Reddit. Oh, and there relevant ingame items. Probably. And reditors can play a TF 2-themed game at r/FieldOfKarmicGlory.

From the usual stable of Think Geek fake-products-that-might-become-real: Creeper body pillow. The most huggable creeper ever!

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

MAYBE.

Oooh. Entering the Konami code and shooting everything away leads to a little FMV of a mysterious glowing figure.

There's an ESRM Mature rating. This could be a real expansion.

A bit late to the party, but in Japan, Konami announced a line of Pop'n Music character body pillows. For the low prices of "meow yen", "03:02 AM yen", "√ yen", "woof yen", and "wac yen" (wac is the nickname of the series' sound director). "*Person in black cat mask not included."

Paradox Interactive announced a Zombie DLC for Crusader Kings II for April Fool's Day. It is surprisingly popular on the forum.

After five years of consecutive weekly DLC, Rock Band will stop releasing new songs in 2nd of April. Yeah right... Oh wait, that one was actually true. Goddammit.

At least the "New DLC" page on Xbo X Live won't be as cluttered anymore.

...I can't unsee that now.

(Very borderline NSFW warning should be attached to that, though it depends on how conservative your workplace is.)
