EGM is dead. Long live EGM! The struggling game magazine that shut down in January after nearly twenty years in print is returning later this year, courtesy of Electronic Gaming Monthly founder Steve Harris.

Harris calls the relaunch of Electronic Gaming Monthly a âwelcome opportunity to continue delivering quality content to gaming enthusiasts,â saying the new EGM team has âexciting plans for the evolution of what will once again be a leading independent voice for the gaming community.â
The mag has the enthusiastic, but not necessarily financial backing of Ziff Davis.
âWe are pleased that EGM is now in the hands of its original creator, Steve Harris, and wish him and the publication the best of success in the future,â says Ziff CEO Jason Young.
The press release states that weâll hear more about the new EGM at next weekâs E3 expo. For now, a placeholder site featuring the announcement, with links to the resuscitated magâs Twitter and Facebook accounts resides at EGMnow.com.
