Blizzard Entertainment usually does something every year, but they haven't put it out yet.
Fansites MMO-Champion and Diablo Fans on the
other hand.
Final Fantasy XIV announced a new upcoming feature: Romance the game's leading NPCs!
. (The jokes don't make much sense if you're not familiar with the game.)

Damn, Capcom. This has gone from sad, to almost hilarous considering how out of their way their going to rub salt in the wounds.
Now's it's Shulk Time!League of Legends has added a new game mode for the week as their april fools.
Ultra Rapid Fire Mode.

ranged champs get double attack speed gains, mana is infinite, all abilities have 80% cool down reduction.
It is ridiculous and unbalanced and hilarious.

We Are With You Zack Snyder

It is April Fools but I can see Nintendo actually developing it.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureParadox Interactive
announces Claws of the Meowars DLC for Crusader Kings II, featuring playable cats.
...I really hope that some ambitious modder (or maybe even Paradox themselves) makes this actually happen.

They are unusually hilarious, though.

Among the worst is Frostbite making a low blow on the Wii U. I'll never buy an EA game again, especially not Battlefield.

ASAB: All Sponsors Are Bad.IGN came up with a trailer for Optimus Prime DLC on Titanfall, but I didn't look at it. I went the smart route and googled it. Turns out there is no such DLC.
Bummer.
Also, the design for that April Fools Mega Man X model looked really rad and sleek. I can see that particular appearance be used in a new Mega Man X game...if it ever happens.
Not sure if this is a one shot thing (these were the same guys who did Westeros VS Europe last year) or just a cheekily timed announcement.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

As the title suggests, this is a thread for collecting all the rumors and jokes that spreads this time of year.
And in other news, Google wins everything.
Now's it's Shulk Time!
