Happy Friday, fellow gamers! Another week has flown by, and while January might be playing it cool with big game releases, the news front has been anything but quiet.

Keep those peepers peeled on our social channels next week for the big moment!

Resident Evil LEAKS?! Kratos & Lara Croft REBORN?!...

For those who haven't visited the site lately, "This Week On GI" is your one-stop shop for all things Game Informer. We want to keep you in the loop about what's happening behind the scenes and provide a handy digest of all the articles we’ve published this week. So, without further ado, let’s dive in!

**Game Informer Housekeeping**

Things have been relatively calm internally, which is a welcome change! The latest issue, featuring *World of Warcraft: Midnight*, is currently making its way to subscribers. We do want to acknowledge some past shipping hiccups. Specifically, *The Outer Worlds 2* and, to a lesser extent, *Dragon Quest VII Reimagined* issues ran into some postal gremlins thanks to last year’s… let’s just say “governmental complexities.” While these issues were beyond our control, we absolutely take responsibility for ensuring you get what you paid for. We’re working diligently with our shipping partners to resolve any outstanding problems. Thankfully, it appears we've mostly navigated those turbulent waters, and the *World of Warcraft: Midnight* issue seems to be arriving on time. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we smooth things out.

We're committed to delivering top-notch physical magazines straight to your doorstep this year, and our next issue is one you won’t want to miss. If you haven't subscribed yet, now's the perfect time to jump on board!
