South San Francisco, Calif., Sept. 17, 2010 – Future US, the special-interest media company, today unveiled a cover-to-cover redesign of PlayStation: The Official Magazine beginning with the November issue, featuring the world-exclusive cover story on the hotly anticipated car combat game, Twisted Metal®, published by Sony Computer Entertainment America.
Releasing at the same time as the 15th anniversary of the PlayStation Computer Entertainment System, the redesigned PlayStation: The Official Magazine takes readers on a deeper dive into the entire PlayStation universe. When the magazine appears on newsstands on September 28, readers can check out the exciting new look and revamped sections, including a more comprehensive reviews section. Subscribers will receive their copies approximately one week earlier.
“In redesigning PlayStation: The Official Magazine, we focused on delivering cutting-edge content that reflects the PlayStation brand and its audience,” says Gary Steinman, Editor-In-Chief. “We will continue to provide the enthusiastic but critical voice that has been our hallmark. The redesign is all about celebrating gaming on the PlayStation platform with bolder text and more vibrant pages full of gorgeous imagery and compelling content. Our opinions will be stronger, our insights will be richer and our reach will be broader, all to provide the best guide to what’s important for the PlayStation gamer.”
The existing preview and review sections feature a more organized and contemporary design that takes readers on a visual tour of each game, with an expanded area for screenshots. The new “Directories” section is a mini buyer’s guide that gives readers clear insight into essential PS3, PSP and PlayStation Network (PSN) games. PlayStation: The Official Magazine also has comprehensive coverage of downloadable content and PlayStation Move, as well as lifestyle elements such as Blu-ray movies and consumer electronics.
The November issue boasts a world-exclusive cover story on Twisted Metal®, the longest running franchise in PlayStation® history and a multi-million selling series, found exclusively on the PS3™ system. The feature reveals new single-player details along with hands-on impressions of the multiplayer gameplay. In an exclusive interview, Eat Sleep Play, Inc. game designer David Jaffe reveals his unique vision for the game. The issue also boasts a Move launch guide feature, a look at the multiplayer component for Call of Duty: Black Ops and a celebration of the PlayStation’s 15th anniversary.
