April Fools can be a very "dangerous" time for game news. As is tradition with the Game News Round-Up, news stories covered on April 1st - 2nd are usually intentionally a little less than the usual amount. We know that people come to the Game News for facts they can rely on, so as per our usual promises - we try to vet every story a little closer on April 1st - 2nd to hopefully filter out any of the silly jokes and memes. Sometimes some stories slip through and we'll be sure to highlight if this is case. As per usual, thanks for support the Game News Round-Up!
