August Cover Revealed – E3 Hot 50
Now that the dust has settled on another E3, we have a better perspective on where the games industry is headed in the near future. With new console announcements, another big virtual reality push, and several new game reveals, we had a lot of ground to cover in roughly 90 pages. Our August 2016 issue distills the expo into a potent collection of stories that tells you everything you need to know about emerging technologies and ranks the 50 games we think had the best showing.
We kick off the coverage issuing our yearly grades to Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. Our E3 trailers feature breaks down everything we know about debuted games like Death Stranding, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Prey, and Spider-Man. And finally, the E3 Hot 50 features several multi-page previews on titles like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and of course The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
To celebrate the annual gaming extravaganza, we commissioned the talented artist Alex Griendling to create two unique covers starring two of the biggest stars of E3 2016 – Kratos and Link. Check out his impressive work below:

In addition to our E3 blow-out, we also have reviews of several recent releases like Inside, Zero Time Dilemma, and Insomniac's Lovecraftian virtual-reality title Edge of Nowhere.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
