Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

Ryu walking into the sunset in the ending of Street Fighter II. The caption reads: "Already seeking the next challenge, ceremony means nothing to him."
Personal news: I'm leaving my Editor-at-large role at Eurogamer & Gamer Network as part of new cuts. I last year approached my move to Eurogamer & VG247's skeletonization with reluctance, but I ultimately greatly enjoyed giving EG a go. But now after 10yrs & in difficult conditions, it's time to go.
27.02.2026 15:33 — 👍 458 🔁 71 💬 55 📌 11This is absolutely terrible news. @eurogamer.bsky.social and especially its video team have gotten me through tough times, and have reawakened my love for games plenty of times. This just sucks, pfff

I’m thankful to have a game early and that a few have been pushed out of March because the release calendar is insanely packed.

We want everyone to know about the game, which releases March 17th. It is a 10-14 hour pure deduction game that sees you hunting Nazi fugitives.

Over at @somanygames.co.uk , I took a look at the brilliant fifth episode of Scarlet Hollow, the phenomenal game by Slay the Princess developers @blacktabbygames.com . Multiple runs in, I still have so much to uncover... what a game. Cannot wait for the finale! somanygames.co.uk/review/scarl...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

In this episode of Storycraft, I had the privilege of chatting with
@remysiu.com about the @sunsetvisitor.studio team's performing arts background and how it influenced their work on 1000xRESIST.

I need your help!
It's like 8:30PM here so management totally aren't reading this.
We put a Jukebox Stream on the Wax Heads Steam Page, and I need you to go into the chat and type your favourite album of all time and your favourite food.
So like:
Appetite for Destruction Pizza [1/2]
Cannot wait for the full release! This is gonna make me cry my eyes out and i'm here for it! Good luck with the last weeks of development!
