These Looney Tunes Dubs Are 2023’s Best April Fools Joke
Yesterday was April Fools, and as always, that means the internet was full of jokes and goofs. For brands, this means trying to pull off gags with varying levels of success, like Sega up and releasing a straight up visual novel for Sonic the Hedgehog that’s apparently pretty good.

We’ve had Metacritic-topping titles like Dead Space remake, Octopath Traveler 2, Like a Dragon: Ishin, and Wild Hearts (that everyone else seemed to like except me, apparently).
But there’s one game, perhaps my favourite of the year so far, that’s already starting to be forgotten about. I suppose, when you have a new Destiny expansion and one of the biggest beta tests the industry has seen in years drop around the same time, that’s bound to happen, isn’t it? But this game came to Game Pass and everything, so you’d think it’d have more staying power – alas, that’s the curse of having so much choice: people will often just go pick other things.
I’m talking, of course, about Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. The latest hardcore action game from the sadists behind Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, the game found much love amongst early adopters and critics, quickly rising to the top of the gameplay charts on Xbox and becoming something of a talking point amongst people on social media. At launch, the internet was abuzz with chatter about this game – and as a long-time Nioh diehard, I loved it! Finally, because of Game Pass, people were giving this odd little ‘masocore’ series a go; the Nioh series was no longer locked behind a £30+ collection on the PS4/PS5!
