The videogame industry constantly evolves, and staying ahead requires expert knowledge and access to insider perspectives, says Future. To meet this need, the publisher has announced the launch of Knowledge: The Videogame Industry Newsletter a free-access, weekly resource for professionals working in this fast-moving sector, covering topics including development, publishing, marketing, education and beyond. Knowledge provides analysis and shares insight from creatives, developers, marketers and key decision-makers at studios and publishers, added Future.
This new industry resource comes from the team behind Edge, Future’s videogame magazine. Future says Knowledge aims to provide insight and advice every week, powered by analysis and guidance from some of the best writers in their field and fuelled by advice and testimony from talents in the videogame business.
Knowledge is produced by a team of videogame industry veterans, added the publisher. Editor-in-Chief Pat Garratt, previously the founder of VG247, has decades of experience in videogame media; Managing Editor Marie Dealessandri has written on every aspect of the videogame industry for over a decade at GamesIndustry.biz, MCV and Develop; and Tony Mott, editorial director of Future’s videogame magazine portfolio, has a background that includes game production and marketing alongside his experience leading the Edge brand.
Patrick Garratt, editor-in-chief of Knowledge, commented: “Knowledge is a fantastic opportunity to create a B2B videogame publication designed to help developers, publishers and investors make sense of the gaming industry's recent transformations. I'm excited to launch what I'm certain will be an enduring facet to Edge's unique reputation and brand.”
Marie Dealessandri, managing editor of Knowledge, commented: "I’m delighted to be working alongside Pat and the Edge team to grow the brand in a direction that feels like its natural next step, bridging the gap between prosumers and industry professionals. Having strong trade media is a crucial piece of the puzzle to support the industry as it navigates through challenging times, and we’re hoping to be a place where developers can find the guidance they need, keep up to date with the latest news, and connect with their peers."
The publisher says the newsletter will be distributed to an initial audience of thousands signed up through its gaming brands Edge, PC Gamer and GamesRadar+, including developers, publishers, videogame executives and influential prosumers.
