EGM plans to rise from the dead

by Jeremy Hill on Jun 1, 2009 at 11:01 AM

EGMLet’s take a quick break away from all the E3 2009 headlines for an uplifting story about death and resurrection.

Last January (2008) the final issue of EGM magazine graced store shelves after 1UP was acquired by the Hearst Corporation. We all had a moment of silence to remember the legacy of the 20 year publication and marked it as another victim of a failing economy coupled with a growing irrelevance of print media. 

Our weeping would be sort lived as almost five months later we learn EGM would be making its glorious return in the second half of 2009.

Led by the magazines founder Steve Harris EGM has come full circle. Ziff Davis Media has made a deal with Harris that allows him to re-acquire trademarks and publishing rights that are required to get EGM up and running again. Harris sold EGM to Ziff Davis in 1996.

More information will be released during E3 2009.
