We knew changes were coming to White Dwarf magazine but looks like things are happening a lot sooner that we expected, as there is only 4 issues left!
This letter was sent out to all subscription holders recently of the new weekly White Dwarf, and a copy was provided to us via an anonymous source:
A good news, bad news, good news sandwich?
The end is coming in just FOUR more weekly issues, with a ‘gap’ in coverage in August! My spikey sense (yes spelled right) has me thinking something BIG release wise will be coming in September as well.
More on the new White Dwarf:

We’ll have more to tell you about the new magazine soon, but for now here’s one of the mock-up covers we designed while working on the first issue.
