How Different Games Prank Players On April Fools’

2025 marks the arrival of April Fool’s Day, and it seems our favorite video game creators are ready with their tricks up their sleeves. Let’s peek into what they have prepared for us!

Naraka: Bladepoint

Amidst a chaotic scene of fluttering garments, it’s a fashion disaster unfolding!
Battle your way to the ideal ensemble by vanquishing foes and snatching their attire!
Catch sight of those striking red ensembles or the sleek black coat, go head-to-head in the latest Fit VS Fit game mode now available! #AprilFoolDay…

Is this a dance-off instead of the usual fights in games like Super Mario or Infinity Nikki? Naraka: Bladepoint, the free-to-play wuxia action battle royale game developed by 24 Entertainment, humorously declares that traditional physical battles are no longer relevant and disputes will now be settled through fashion comparisons or dance contests.

They follow this prank up with:

Happy April Fools‘ Day! New mode is a joke, but Telmuch’s new outfit, [Twisted Delusion], is really available! Log in to #NARAKABLADEPOINT now to get the free Telmuch outfit! – Naraka: Bladepoint

Infinity Nikki

To Our Valued Customers,

An extraordinary occurrence transpired at Ray and Wing’s Restaurant not long ago. A massive, luminous light bulb, approximately 100 meters wide, unexpectedly descended from the heavens and landed squarely in our alfresco dining space!

This bizarre incident has piqued the interest of the Florawish Guards, who are currently investigating the matter…

Regarding fashion contests, the free-to-play action-adventure game by Papergames Infinity Nikki also participated in an April Fool’s prank. They announced a 108% sale coupon, but attempting to redeem it results in a message advising against clicking on suspicious links (even though it’s unlikely that a legitimate game account would infect our devices with a virus).

Party Animals

Just wanted to let everyone know, we’re adding a fresh board game to our winter cabin collection! It will be available in the next 12 hours. I don’t pull pranks, so this isn’t an April Fool’s Day joke! #PartyAnimals #Steam #Xbox #Playstation

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m pumped to share some exciting news about the multiplayer physics-based brawler/party game by Recreate Games, known as Party Animals. They’ve just announced a new minigame that’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping – Russian Roulette!

Of course, this is just a joke, but there actually is a new card game available.

PUBG: Battlegrounds

Is it possible for romance to flourish amidst the battles? Absolutely, it can! Here’s a twist: Let’s conquer together in the “Champ’s Chowdown” game now!

*The “Champ’s Chowdown”, our special web game, is accessible on PC and mobile devices.

*Get ready to experience an overpowering love this April.

On April 1st, the battle royale game PUBG: Battlegrounds by Krafton’s PUBG Studios is turning the tables around, promoting a message of love instead of war with their unique event called “Winner Winner Romantic Dinner”. This special occasion is for those who find charm in waifus rather than weapons.

The action-adventure and management game, “Dave the Diver,” created by Mintrocket, has recently revealed plans for a revamped edition.

Fans might need to be patient, though, because it’s only coming in 2049.

It can be found across various gaming platforms, including the PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X/S, and LS7. Hang on a sec, let me clarify that for you.

Goddess Of Victory: Nikke

Introducing Mecha Shifty

Skill Set: Burst Skills – Planet Destroyer
– “Call out to Mecha, Shifty!”

Note: This is a fictional character for April Fool’s Day. #NIKKE #AprilFoolsDay

— GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE (@NIKKE_en) April 1, 2025

Boobies have never been deadlier – or have you ever nuked anyone with yours?

We didn’t think so; that’s why Mecha Shifty is superior to humans.

As depicted in the third-person shooter action RPG titled “Goddess of Victory: Nikke,” created by Shift Up.

Fantasy Life

Did Nintendo mix up two of its games? No, it’s just an April Fools‘ prank!

I stumbled upon a phony trailer that apparently hails from the role-playing, life simulation game collection known as Fantasy Life, masterfully crafted by Level-5.

Although they share a charming visual aesthetic, it’s important to note that “Fantasy Life” is distinct from “Animal Crossing”. Rest assured, it doesn’t follow the same format as Animal Crossing.

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis

Today marks the launch of EverCrisis Academy in the heart of Midgard! Join us as we delve into the daily routines and experiences of our vibrant student body! #OpeningDay #MidgardEducation #NewSchoolExperience

Final Fantasy is looking a little different these days…

On their official site, the role-playing game, Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, which is developed by Applibot and Square Enix, jokingly announced that you’ll soon have an opportunity to engage in a dating simulation featuring Final Fantasy characters. It appears they were playing a lighthearted April Fool’s Day prank.

What do you think about these April Fools’ pranks?

Which one’s your favorite?
