.....That isnt the Akaviri symbol....

Just saw the front page. I lol'd... and I lol'd hard. xD

+1
But I think maybe it's another joke from GI staff trolls and the cover will be different. Because a logo with simple dark grey text on black background is just a WTF.

I think the first two words, and the first one on the last stanza of the first part, mean Dovakhiin!

650 users...... wowzers

Being a designer of both print and digital, I actually retracted my statement after reading the article. They're using some awesome printing techniques to make the cover look sweet.

So in other words...theres a reason its that simple.

Yeah, read that too. It's still underwhelming, especially for those of us who CAN'T get the printed issue. And that's still a lot of us.

You call yourselves fans? You guys make me sick. What did you really expect from the cover reveal? Info? ROFL. The real goods is inside the magazine.

[Dominic Vaughan]

I knew it! And posted a speculation couple of threads ago. But nobody can deny it looks absolutely cool and stylish. Seriously it is probably the coolest cover ever. See Gameinformer text also in grayscale, like never before, to match the minimalistic but stylish lay-out. On top of that it is a cover that will unveil a long kept secret. Superb, your marketing department are truely wizards, artists - I'll raise you a glass!

Hmm, I must be the odd ball here. I like it.. then again Silver and black is the color of my fave football team.

[Loane]

Why do these other games on Gameinformer get these awesome artwork covers and we get what we already see everytime we visit Skyrims website...what a joke.

[Trista Jim]

Am I the only one who thought the new cover was classy looking? Sure, I want screenshots, but I can wait.

Classy for sure.

[Daramis McGee]

The first stanza looks like the lyrics from the teaser. The first word is repeated twice (Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin), and it's the same as the first word in the last line.

Trying to work with that now.

[Samantha Wood]

yet another mystery....... *sigh*

[Lizs]

WOO!!

[Leonie Connor]

682 just now...I wonder if that's a record.

[XPidgex Jefferson]

The text looks Japanese? Akavir after all?

[Tai Scott]

Woooo I woke up at the top of the hour in time :biggrin:

The writing in the back seems to emulate ancient Cuneiform writing but it only imitates it in style. Cryptologists GET IN HERE.

[Damian Parsons]

Stop whining, start translating!

[AnDres MeZa]

wait a tic, the cover is in 3d... is this a hint towards the game beeing 3d as wel? I HOPE NOT! :S

[Austin England]

The guys from Gameinformer and Bethesda are just AWESOME. I can't stop laughing at this.

[Leah]

The first stanza looks like the lyrics from the teaser. The first word is repeated twice (Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin), and it's the same as the first word in the last line.

Same. Cool cuneiform alphabet.

[^~LIL B0NE5~^]

Not impressed with the cover, and very much a let down. Oh well... moving on.

[Skrapp Stephens]

I think that this is just another evil business scheme to get more money from the magazine sales. That's just my opinion.

[gary lee]

Meh, I like it.

[Jerry Jr. Ortiz]

The text looks Japanese? Akavir after all?

It's a new alphabet, probably Atmoran-Nordic.
