On Monday, June 2, we at IGN will proudly unveil the first game we’re featuring in IGN First, a brand-new editorial initiative (read: our sales, advertising, and marketing departments do not influence or affect our coverage in any way) that takes the best of IGN and channels it into a month-long blast of awesomeness.

“ Every month will be unique in its own fun way.

Game Scoop , IGN podcasts, and the Daily Fix , with developer appearances on Up at Noon and other IGN programming, too. Every month will be unique in its own fun way.IGN has long been the world’s number one video game website and, thanks largely to your support, we’re stretching out into new countries and onto new platforms. Each of the IGN First titles will be showcased worldwide, simultaneously, in whatever language and on whatever platform you prefer. Our goal is to make sure that no matter where and how you consume IGN, we find you with each month’s IGN First highlights.IGN First has been constructed by leveraging the unique talents of our global content team and the reach of our various platforms, but we also want you to be part of the story.

This won’t change anything you already love about IGN.
