In an announcement by Editor-in-Chief, Chiki Ryoaki, we’ve learned that one of Japan’s longest running magazines on video games, Dengeki PlayStation, which began publications 25 years ago in 1994, will be discontinued at the end of March.

The Dengeki PlayStation monthly magazine will be discontinued following the final release of Vol.686 on March 28. Next to Famitsu, Dengeki PlayStation has been releasing issues for 25 years since Vol.1 in 1994. However, due to the continuing change in how information is distributed, releasing physical issues has become rather expensive.

Many readers have already been able to access articles on Dengeki Online or on the Dengeki Online YouTube channel during regular “Dengeki PS Live” segments. They will be considering producing additional publications such as extra editions, mooks, and more. They will also continue to produce articles on the Web under the “Dengeki PlayStation” title as well as releasing “Dengeki PS Live” programs and other videos on Dengeki Online.

Therefore, there are only two remaining issues: Vol.685 to be released on February 28 and Vol.686 on March 28.
