On Tuesday, National Geographic announced that it will be expanding its business into video games in an effort to reach its younger audience. The magazine hopes to have at four games released by next year.

This news comes at such a morbid time in the world of print media. National Geographic seems to be making moves to reach out to its younger readers. Instead of just watching things deteriorate, the picturesque magazine is putting forth some innovative effort. Who knows what the developers have in store, but I can imagine game plots ranging in anything from escaping the Amazon to leading a nation in a strategy based scenario.
