Kotaku is looking for quick, sharp, and talented writers to help us cover the most interesting stories in gaming, from companies and communities to new releases and the latest trends.
Freelancers will regularly contribute weekly reporting, analysis, and original features about the world of video games. This includes everything from the news of the day and smart takes on emerging conversations to fascinating scoops from weird corners of the internet or games that only you are paying attention to.
Please reach out if:
- You write sharp, accessible stories about everything from Take-Two’s quarterly earnings to why a gacha game is apologizing for “crab hands”
- You have a punchy writing style, file clean copy, and are familiar with Kotaku’s general tone and subject areas
- You can pitch and write timely news hits and short analysis pieces that connect the dots for readers on the biggest debates and events of the week
- You’re eager to collaborate with other editors and writers to ensure our coverage is fast, fair, and full of voice
- You have a keen news sense and can identify stories that our readers care about and no one else is covering
- You have the editorial sensibility to know when a story needs speed, when it needs depth, and when it needs both
