World of Warcraft: The Magazine
Dan Amrich, editor-in-chief of World of Warcraft: The Magazine was also busy at BlizzCon, answering questions from fans about the new project. What is it? Why should we want it? Isn’t print dead?
“It’ll be a large format, similar to Edge magazine in the UK,” explained Amrich. “We really want to leverage the fact that print can be a deluxe experience – beautiful art, quality articles, something that’s worth spending some time reading. So I’m telling people to expect something more along the lines of a coffee-table magazine. A lot of people have pointed out that print needs to change to survive, and I see a deluxe project like this as a valid evolutionary step.”

The first issue will contain tactics for PvP and raid players, community spotlights, and a feature about the game’s impending 5th anniversary. The cover subject is still a secret since it will relate to upcoming content in the game, but it will feature exclusive art commissioned by Blizzard.
