Hey everyone, hope you are having a great day and are ready for the upcoming weekend. I know I am. I am here to update you on our current initiatives, community updates, new features, and more that are happening now, or coming up in the near future.
Right now, I’m working on more ways for you, the community, to suggest topics for me to address in the future and potentially offer suggestions for content that you would like to see more of on IGN. That said, here are some updates about things happening right now or very soon at IGN.
Fan Fest 2023!!!
Fan Fest 2023 is almost here, and we have a fun weekend of previews, interviews, and more. It will be a great chance to get advanced looks at Street Fighter 6, Diablo IV, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and more. We also have plenty of interviews answering questions submitted by fans for HBO’s The Last of Us, Cocaine Bear, and Redfall, so if you submitted questions to our prompts on Twitter or the IGN Boards, make sure to tune in to see if your questions were answered. It all begins Friday, February 17th, at 10 AM PT. Check out the schedule and our handy how-to-watch articles for details on the full lineup.
As a first for Fan Fest, I’ve worked with our production team and our partners to give away various game codes throughout IGN Fan Fest. Make sure to check out the IGN Rewards page and the rules throughout the course of the event because we will have plenty of new offerings there too. As for the event itself, make sure to tune in and watch IGN Fan Fest on Youtube, Twitch, or IGN.com, and you will have a chance to snag one of 400 game codes just by watching. I’ve done the math, and we will be giving out, on average, one code every minute over the course of the show on Friday and Saturday. Viewers will have a chance to snag codes for games like Street Fighter V, Valheim, Resident Evil Village, and more! Codes will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so keep your eyes peeled for your chance to score a free game, and, again, be sure to check out all the rules for IGN Fan Fest.
Updated Guidelines
I have one final update. It’s been a while since IGN updated its Community Guidelines, and we figured it was a good time to bring them up to date. The updates are focused on clarifying some of the guidelines to help clarify certain sections that may have been unclear in the past, as well as updating categories and language that is seen more commonly today. Be sure to check out the updated guidelines today, and feel free to ask any questions you have about the updates here.
As stated at the start, I want to hear your suggestions for future updates you’d like to see at IGN, so post them in the comment section below, and I will do my best to address them in future updates. Have a great evening, and I’ll hopefully see you during Fan Fest this weekend when I’m giving away oodles and oodles of game codes.
