The goal of /r/Games is to provide a place for informative and interesting gaming content and discussions. Submissions should be for the purpose of informing or initiating a discussion, not just with the goal of entertaining viewers. Memes, comics, funny screenshots, arts-and-crafts, etc. will be removed.
Since a collection thread hasn't been posted for this year, I thought it would be good to both post a list of what's been announced and provide a place for others to post what they've found.
If you find any April Fools items for games that are not in this list, post them in the comments.
