PC Gamer UK July issue: EVE Valkyrie

Quick, to the starboard observatory! You'll soon be passing Printopia, where the universe's best magazines are produced. That long stream of delivery ships in the distance? That'll be them exporting the latest issue of PC Gamer. It features EVE: Valkyrie on the cover, which must be a documentary or something, because as I've tried to imply over the course of this paragraph, we're in space now. Oh no, we've hit a wormhole! It's taken us out of this galaxy that's so reminiscent of CCP's upcoming VR shooter, and into a world of high-fantasy and fierce competition. It reminds me a lot of that time the PC Gamer staff had a Hearthstone tournament, which you can also read about in the latest issue of their magazine.

That's not all! This issue, we're giving readers a free Zeus character for Hi-Rez's lane-pusher Smite . The issue, which is in shops now, can be ordered through My Favourite Magazines . Digitally, you'll find it on the App Store , Google Play , and Zinio , and you can subscribe to get issues delivered directly to your door. Read on for a look at the subs cover, and a round-up of the features to be found in issue 267.

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
