Abstract
Develop was a UK game industry trade magazine, covering trends in development, emerging technologies, and profiles of developers. The magazine was published monthly and ran for 21 years before it was discontinued at the end of 2017 and absorbed into MCV, another gaming trade magazine owned by NewBay Media. 189 issues were published in total.
Biz Media, which later acquired NewBay Media, revived the Develop brand name in 2019 by renaming MCV into MCV/Develop.
