You might have seen a new name around the homepage this past week: Mark Warren. It might also be that you recognise the name if you’re a reader of RPS sibling site VG247, where Mark has already been plying his trade for several years. Well, we’ve adopted Mark here at RPS, as one might adopt a puppy if the puppy really liked mods, RPGs and Helldivers 2. Come say hello in the comments.
Mark joined VG247 back in 2023, and since then he’s written news, features and reviews that would have all sat comfortably on our own pages. He’s had a breakdown about his lack of interior design skills in The Sims, braved talking to the Fallout community, interviewed developers behind one of the half-dozen Disco Elysium spiritual successors, and built a baseball team made entirely of George Costanzas. He’s also, yeah, written a lot about Helldivers 2, including three posts for us this week alone, so you know he’s not afraid to follow through on his passions.
It’s been an odd year for RPS, with more departures than arrivals. We continue to work to hire a new reviews editor, too. In the meantime, I’m glad that Mark is bringing his expertise to the site. Please give him a warm welcome below.
