Surprise! To me as well! Here’s this, a full WEEK ahead of schedule. Naturally I’m furious. But William and Ari at @TeamCherryGames have been incredible and made my last issue of Edge one to remember. Ari’s designed two stunning custom covers – wait ‘til you see the subs one.

Team Cherry presented a new demo, new screenshots and we did hours of interviews. They were so generous with their time even though they’ve been so busy developing the game, as they know the fans have been waiting so patiently for details. We worked hard to keep it a surprise.

Please buy the mag on the 31st if you’re excited. I’d love this one to be a hit for Team Cherry, and especially for Ari who created such beautiful art. Indie games on covers are never an easy sell to the bosses and I’d like this to smash their expectations as I promised it would.

Unreal Engine 5 looking very shiny indeed. (Lovely triangles.) Should hopefully mean it's easier than ever for indie devs to create photorealistic stuff for these powerful next-gen consoles, and the big boys can push levels of detail even further for less.
