Venerable games media site Kotaku has announced the appointment of Rebekah Valentine as Senior Reporter, the brand’s first significant hire since it was purchased from G/O Media by French firm Keleops Media in July 2025. Valentine’s arrival is the first of several planned by the site, which Keleops says has grown rapidly post-acquisition. Valentine previously worked at IGN and before that GamesIndustry.biz.

It’s great to see Kotaku expanding and bringing in new talent like Rebekah Valentine. Her experience will surely add valuable insights to the gaming community. Exciting times ahead for the site!
