EGM is coming back, people. Are you ready? Have you been following every last update that EGMNOW has been posting, waiting in desperate hope of the return of the magazine? If so, then this post will be useless to you because you've already read about the preview cover page of the digital version of the new EGM, but for those of you who may have forgotten the magazine was coming back here it is. This is a mock-up cover of the infamous "Lost Issue," expect more from the sample in the coming weeks.
The new EGM, launching this April, won't just be a print magazine, but a digital one as well. That doesn't mean you'll just get a digital copy of the print magazine either. No, instead there will be 12 print copies a year and 52 digital copies to subscribe to (yes, you can subscribe now). According EGM's new/old Editor-in-Chief, Stever Harris, the magazine is hoping to really expand the connection between digital and print magazines and show us how digital magazining should be done.
If you are behind on the details of the new EGM you might like to know that it is being printed on a heavier paper stock than most gaming magazines, will cost $6.99 on the magazine stand and editors for the magazine include "Dan 'Shoe' Hsu and Demian Linn of Bitmob, Ryan O'Donnell and Matt Chandronai from Area5, John Keefer (recently of Crispy Gamer), Brady Fiechter (former EIC of Play Magazine), as well as a number of other high-profile writers and contributors who are bringing their independent point-of-view to the new EGM."
I just booked my subscription, how about you?
[Thanks, Mr. Spooky]

That is fucking awesome!
I remember seeing Sports Illustrateds idea of what digital magazines should be like and it was amazing. The sooner they dump print media and move onto the next generation the sooner they can give us huge savings, more regular updates and better content.
I've asked myself a few times why I'm excited for it coming back when I get all my news from Dtoid and other sites. All I can say is that EGM was such a staple in my life that getting it in the mail again will be very exciting for me.
I AM FULLFILLED!
I have a stack of those magazines in my closet, they were so biased against the JAGUAR!!!!
I just signed up for my subscription. I'm so happy!!!...dang...now I have to convince my wife to let me get a third magazine subscription cause I still need to get my Scientific American Mind...
From the sounds of it though, it sounds like Steve Harris wants to return the mag to its former glory and that's why they've got my $25.
but i have a question:
if the american EGM is coming back, are the other EGM magazines around the world coming too??
i'm from mexico and when the american EGM was canceled the mexican was canceled too, i was shocked that it happened so fast cuz that was the only magazine i rely on...
maybe it does come back.
