About Brian Byrne

Brian Byrne edits Gamers Now and writes about the stories that make games worth following beyond the trailer. He has a long-running weakness for Shenmue and The Legend of Zelda, which probably explains his soft spot for games full of mystery, strange details, memorable places and fans still arguing about them years later. At Gamers Now, Brian covers major news, industry moves, platform changes and updates where the context matters as much as the headline.
