Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again! This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at [email protected] and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

Very excited to kick off our next Super Replay series today with @chuckduck365.bsky.social childhood favorite video game of all time (don't ask him, just trust me).

Years ago, I taught an NYU Game Center course on games media. It explained how everything works, from the history of the form to the ethics, the reviews to the reporting. In 2025, I created a 5-part video version. You can now buy the entire video set for $25. www.patreon.com/collection/1...

One of the coolest things I got to do all of last year

What do video games have in common with scenes of improv comedy? Associate editor Charles Harte says the best ones "find the game" and get to the point very quickly. Here's his full op-ed about what video games can learn from good comedians: gameinformer.com/opinion/2026...

What an honor! Keeper has been awarded Best Art Direction in @gameinformer.com's Best of 2025! So proud of @leepetty.bsky.social for dreaming up this surreal, strange world, and we're just as proud of the rest of the team for bringing that vision to life. 🥹

I nominate @gameinformer.com for best taste in game art!

Total Chaos is disgusting, bloody, and taxing, but it's also sympathetic and cathartic. Despite its missteps, it is fun, twisting together horrific perversions with tension-filled gameplay. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/total...

This is a terrible loss, especially during the holidays. Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

We got a hands-off look at the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update and Switch 2 upgrade. The new features and improvements are welcome surprises, but not game-changers; they're fun new amenities, not large-scale renovations. Our full preview: gameinformer.com/preview/2025...

Todd Howard, Angela Browder, and Emil Pagliarulo gave us an update on how development of The Elder Scrolls VI is going. Here are their latest updates: gameinformer.com/interview/20...

I went to Barnes and Noble to go look at some books and stumbled across this beauty. It's still so unreal to see my name in this magazine and it out in the wild. @gameinformer.com

Hi! Now six months into the Switch 2 generation, I'm looking to speak to developers – from indie to AAA – about whether or not they have dev kits for the console and what developing (or not) is like for it. Can be anonymous, if wanted! RTs appreciated🙂

Demonschool is a haunted PS1 disc of tactical joy. Read our review here: gameinformer.com/review/demon...

Despite the inflated cast, the main characters are likable, and smart changes to the core battle system and the town-building aspect differentiate Octopath Traveler 0 from its predecessors. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/octop...

I'll be flying to LA on December 9 to attend the Game Awards and other nearby events for Game Informer! Hit me up if you’re in the area and want me to check out a demo, hop on a podcast, or just to say hi and grab a bite 😀
