A fond farewell to Katharine Fort

Greetings everyone, I regret to announce that this week marks Katharine Fort’s final days at Eurogamer – and in the realm of video game journalism as a whole! – as she ventures into the field of game design.

A seasoned journalist and critic, Katharine joined our team last year after an extensive tenure at our sister publication Rock Paper Shotgun, where she spent nearly three years as its editor-in-chief. During her time at Eurogamer, Katharine immersed herself in all aspects – from comprehensive game guides to reviews of some of last year’s most significant games – and made a substantial impact.

From her first day, it was clear how deeply Katharine comprehends video games and the best way to convey that enthusiasm to others, including those fortunate enough to be her peers. She also maintains an extensive Google spreadsheet – and Eurogamer’s regular editorial calendar has never looked better.

Katharine has a timeless appreciation for indie games and has led Eurogamer’s now-frequent Wishlisted series that showcases the best picks from each Steam Festival. Her in-depth knowledge of Nintendo was particularly evident in her report from Kyoto on the Nintendo Museum, which she visited before the attraction opened its doors to the public.

In summary, Katharine will be greatly missed and leaves behind some significant shoes to fill. For now, here are some farewell words from her – please join me in expressing our gratitude and wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
