Happy Friday, Game Informer audience! You made it to the end of the week, and I hope some of the stories we published this week made doing so just a little bit easier. It was a slow week for reviews, previews, and the like – a very quiet January so far before the storm of releases that is February, which includes some big games – but a big one for news. We also completed a ton of magazine proofing and editing this week, and we’re putting the final touches on the next issue, featuring [REDACTED] on the cover, as we speak.
Speaking of, we’ll be revealing said cover next week, so keep an eye out on Game Informer’s social channels for exact details on when. You don’t want to miss it!
I started This Week On GI as a formal article last week to detail weekly Game Informer housekeeping updates AND to neatly and concisely organize all the content we published on the site that week. Below, you’ll find the general Game Informer housekeeping section followed by an article round-up underneath it:
Game Informer Housekeeping

Overall, it’s a quieter week on the housekeeping front. The latest magazine issue, which features World of Warcraft: Midnight on the cover, continues to ship to mailboxes. We’re aware that prior issues – mostly the The Outer Worlds 2 and, to a lesser extent, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined editions – had some shipping issues; it was the result of post service errors and shipping delays as a result of last year’s government shutdown and while that was out of our hands, we take full responsibility and continue to try to make things right for those who are still waiting on magazines. That said, it seems like the majority of shipping problems are behind us, and the World of Warcraft: Midnight issue is reaching mailboxes in a timely and expected manner.
Nonetheless, thank you all for your patience as we work with our shipping partners to get everything back on track. We’re looking forward to delivering some excellent physical magazine goodness to your mailboxes this year, and our next issue is a very exciting one, so get stoked!
