How could you forget any of the World of Warcraft ones. My favorite was for the bard class that required you to use the whole keyboard as your instrument!
Not just WoW - all of Blizzard. One of my favorite jokes was before Diablo III came out, and they "released" that you could play as an Archivist class. Basically, Deckard Cain shuffling around and attacking with books and such. Cracked me up. Also, last year or the year before, they had a link that you could use to translate any webpage into Murloc-speak. These maybe aren't the most insane April Fool's jokes, which is maybe why none of them made the list, but I look forward to what Blizzard comes up with every year, even if I don't play much of their stuff currently.

The gaijillo April fools joke in war thunder was cool, but flying my little ponies with jet turbines and heavy weapons was also amazing. All of the april fools jokes were great
haha the ponies were great, dont think i ever sat down and played joke content so long. the only other one that rivaled it for me was world of tanks 8 bit battles. not only was it super fun but the rewards were amazing. you could super level a crew and get multiple skills in no time.
warships made one recently that made the entire game play out in a tub or hand sink, where you played as toy boats, and map obstacles were rubber duckies and soap bars
I'm surprised how few people rememer that. If you think about it, that was probably one of the best market scans ever done. People were so hyped and then disappointed to learn that it was a "joke", so the developers knew exactly how big of a possible market there was for their product.

All time best gamer April fools joke is Nintendo power when they teased the sonic the hedgehog as an unlock-able character in super smash bros melee.. any one else remember that ?
Hands down, my favorite prank is probably Metal Gear Solid (PS1). The prank was this: first beat the game with the normal ending where you get the Bandana (infinite ammo) as quickly as possible, then going to beat the game on the secondary ending and get the stealth camo (invisibility), and when you play the game the third time through you should be cyborg ninja, Grey Fox. What actually happened was, when you finally meet Gray Fox in the game (because you didn't actually get to play as Gray Fox on the third round) he is no longer his normal colors, but he is now red and blue. I got to tell you, I tried for this so many times and was so angry when it did not happen. I finally looked it up years later and realized how much of a prank it was and was really pissed. Thanks, Hideo Kojima, for screwing with everyone.
UBISHIT did a really good April fools gag with their game loader a year or two ago. I remember thinking I had unlocked the whole library ... for a brief moment.
When I first saw the assassin's Creed prank I thought it was real until I saw them crashing into tables and running in a circle on the loading screen. That was a classic! Hilarious!
Warcraft's Pandaren were an April Fools Joke back in 2003... and the people got hyped about them, so they became a reality. Slowly, but steady. No joke.
As a certified scuba diver, a photo realistic VR experience of a coral reef would be great. Go to the local pool with gear, photirealistic reef diving without the actual visit to a reef could greatly help the environment, by giving people the experience of being there without being there.
