US-based Game Informer had been running for 33 years until earlier this month, when its print edition and website were closed without warning.

Horror game The Casting of Frank Stone was featured on the final front cover of Game Informer and the game's developers told BBC Newsbeat they were "incredibly honoured" to have made it on.

GameStop, which owned the magazine, has been approached for comment.

Narrative, choose-your-own-adventure style horror game The Casting of Frank Stone is a collaboration between Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive and UK studio Supermassive Games.
