Play appoints King as new Editor

Imagine Publishing has announced the appointment of Ryan King as new Editor of Play, the independent PlayStation magazine. Arriving from rival Future, King’s first issue is the landmark 200th issue.

Joining Imagine’s videogames team, Ryan King (pictured) is set to lead Play in an exciting new direction, promising even more success for the longest-running PlayStation magazine, says the publisher.

“It’s an honour to be joining such a prestigious, industry leading brand,” veteran King revealed. “I’ve long been an admirer of Play and I am looking forward to leading it into the future at a time when the PlayStation brand itself is also rocketing forward in the market.”

Editor in Chief Aaron Asadi added, “We are delighted to announce Ryan as Editor of one of our most treasured brands. A veteran of the industry and former Imagineer, Ryan’s appointment is a real coup for the magazine. He has some fantastic ideas for the magazine and website and we can’t wait to see them come to fruition.”

Launched in 1995, Play claims to be the UK’s longest-running PlayStation-dedicated magazine. Play has recently celebrated two milestones: its 200th issue and passing the 10 million copies sold mark.
