Game Informer magazine is closing after 33 years.
It comes as no surprise these days that a game has leaked just weeks before its release, and this time, it's happened to Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This title is set for release on September 26, and allegedly copies of the game have already leaked online. Just on Friday, the game showed up for the first time on the internet, so now Nintendo has to try and get rid of any footage or gameplay, as it is illegal to have the game via emulation already. The ROM for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has been confirmed by YouTuber Nintendo Prime in a YouTube video, but he has stated that he will not share it as it is "illegal and career-ending to do so."

Dragon Age: The Veilguard pre-orders officially landed yesterday, alongside an October 31 release date. I've seen retailers filtering their standard and deluxe editions onto their sites in the hours since, and have been measuring up each store's delivery times, costs, and additional bonuses all the while. The $69.99 Standard Edition and $89.99 Deluxe Edition (not to mention the monster $219.99 Coffer Edition) are all now widely available in the US - but where should you be shopping?
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is officially set to launch on October 31, and alongside that news EA and BioWare have lifted the, er, veil on the game's pre-order bonuses and collector's editions.
While we had a lot of love to share in our Persona 3 Reload review, we couldn't help but note one glaring omission in the remade slice of life dungeon crawler: Kotone Shiomi, the female protagonist added in Persona 3's PSP port, Persona 3 Portable. Despite her absence, Players have held out hopes that Portable's female protag option might return as other content from earlier versions of P3 arrives as DLC for Reload. Sadly, Persona series producer Kazuhisa Wada once again says it's not to be.
Persona's series producer has once again apologized over Persona 3 Reload not featuring Portable's female protagonist, and has reiterated that it's "likely never" going to happen.
Several groups are in the process of attempting to preserve the history of Game Informer following its closure.
