The digital version of Game Informer magazine Issue 377 – the May issue – featuring Soulframe on the cover is now live! Subscribers can read the full issue right here, with print issues arriving in mailboxes starting in May. If you subscribe to Game Informer before April 22, you’ll receive this latest issue highlighting Warframe developer Digital Extremes’ Princess Mononoke-inspired fantasy MMO, Soulframe, across 14 pages in my cover story. And, in case you missed the news, all current subscribers (and anyone who subscribes by the April 22 deadline) will receive a code for Soulframe to check out the game in its current pre-alpha Preludes state, chock-full of content to play through!
Please note: Physical subscribers, your code will be packed in with your actual Game Informer issue so when it arrives to your mailbox, you can hop in that day. Digital-only subscribers, we will be sending you an email with your Soulframe Preludes code by May 8.
In addition to my 14-page Soulframe cover story, which features all-new information about this unique MMO, including details about upcoming mounts and Pacts, behind-the-scenes insight into creating this game, and so much more, this issue is packed with excellent and exclusive features. As a team, Game Informer banded together to reach out and report on various “missing” games, or games we haven’t heard anything about in a long time; senior associate editor Marcus Stewart has prepared a history lesson for Japan, as told through video games; freelance contributor JJ Bersch celebrates 15 years of the Nintendo 3DS (yes, it’s really been that long) while looking back on the struggles it endured before success; former Game Informer editor Ben Reeves took us to the streets of this year’s Game Developers Conference; and to celebrate 40 years of The Legend of Zelda, we opened up our contact books to ask developers and creators what the seminal series means to them and catalogued their responses for your enjoyment!
Elsewhere in the issue, we take a quick look at the future of Assassin’s Creed, dive deep with the gorgeously animated platformer, The Eternal Life of Goldman, tune into what Mixtape is cooking up for our eyes and ears, and interview the interestingly connected developers behind last year’s Consume Me and this year’s Titanium Court. And it’s another Game Informer issue, so you know we’re bringing you the latest previews for games like Big Walk, Blighted, Samurai Pizza Cats, Control Resonant, Dead as Disco, Pokémon Winds and Waves, and Saros. On the review front, we have some heavy hitters too, like our reviews for Resident Evil Requiem, Pokémon Pokopia, Marathon, Crimson Desert, MLB The Show 26, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections, World of Warcraft: Midnight, Scott Pilgrim EX, and more.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s another look at the beautiful and vibrant Soulframe cover, which speaks to the game’s Princess Mononoke inspiration. Up front is the customizable player-controlled hero, The Envoy, standing alongside Orengall, the Omen Shewolf. You can read more details about this exciting cover here.
