Established by Edge veterans Andrew Hind and Nathan Brown, it is “The ultimate celebration of gaming's past, present, and future - ON: Volume One is a premium games journal with outstanding writers, fantastic design, and luxurious print quality,” reads the ON website synopsis.
Some of the other contributors to the magazine include Jen Simpkins from Media Molecule, ex-Eurogamer writer Christian Donlan, TV writer and game critic Yussef Cole, as well as Keith Stuart and Keza MacDonald, both from The Guardian. With more than 20 years of publishing experience, Hind and Brown are creating a place for writers in the industry “freedom to write their dream feature and combined those words with bold and experimental design".
The covers highlight games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hades, Mario, Infinity Nikke and Tetris.
The 8 available covers showcase some of the first issue’s contents, and a beautiful display of the publications design ethos. ON magazine is retailing at £24.99 and you can buy a collection of all 8 for a discounted price of £169.00.
At a time when so much of print media is struggling and gaming news outlets are being shuttered left and right, it is exciting to see a new publication appear on the scene. If you are a fan of high quality, video game-centric media and like “A product that feels as at home on the coffee table as it does on the bookshelf”, it looks like ON could be the periodical for you.
