It's April Fool's Day, that cheeky time of year when children dust off their whoopee cushions and content creators all over the internet think of pranks to play on their unsuspecting audiences. The world of video games is no different: games media write news articles that range from the initially plausible to the utterly absurd, and even devs and publishers have been known to make daft announcements.
We want you to venture forth, find the best April Fool's Day pranks in the world of gaming, and bring them back here for us all to enjoy. Simply submitting a link to the content in question - whether it be a YouTube video, article, Tweet, or what have you - is enough, but feel free to add any necessary context or explanation. The 12 best/funniest/most-upvoted submissions get $2 each!
