It's been a rollercoaster few months for readers of former flagship gaming mag EGM. First it died, then we heard it'd be coming back...differently, and now owner Steve Harris has announced a tentative return date.

"Plans put in motion today for EGM to return on December 1...", he posted on his Twitter account earlier today. Now, these are plans. Not a concrete, definitive announcement.

Also, we still don't know what guise the mag will be back in! Surely there'll still be a tangible, proper magazine forming the cornerstone of EGM's output, but Harris' previous comments on "fully transportable" content have us more interested in that than some bound pieces of paper.
