Hi, I’m Shannon!

Greetings, fellow gamers and enthusiasts! Today, I want to take a moment to share with you the personal journey that led me to embrace the art of writing. As a lifelong gamer (well, since six years old), I have found solace, inspiration, and a profound sense of purpose through these created worlds from developers. As social media and the hectic news cycle makes us all more anxious and worried, gaming has become my sanctuary—a place where I can escape, express my emotions, and connect with others on a profound level.

Loregrounds is my way of staying connected to gaming, even as my work schedule demands most of my time. You’ll find the top news stories every day here, and when time allows, the occasional special feature or interview!

About Loregrounds

Loregrounds was built on a simple idea: gamers deserve better. Better coverage, better honesty, and a space that treats the community like the passionate, informed audience it actually is. We’re not here to chase clicks with misleading headlines or bury the real story under layers of filler. We’re here to do gaming right — and that means putting quality, accuracy, and respect for your time at the center of everything we publish.

Every day, our team scours the gaming landscape to bring you the stories that actually matter. From major studio announcements and console launches to indie breakthroughs and the controversies that shape the industry, we make it our mission to stay on top of the biggest news as it happens. Whether it drops at midnight or during a surprise livestream, if it’s important to gamers, it’s important to us. You won’t have to dig through a dozen sites to find out what’s going on — Loregrounds has you covered.

But we’re more than a news feed. We believe that great gaming journalism means understanding the culture, the history, and the people behind the pixels. That’s the “lore” in Loregrounds. We dig deeper into the stories behind the stories, giving you context and perspective that goes beyond the surface-level recap. When a studio shuts down or a beloved franchise takes a new direction, we don’t just report it — we help you understand why it matters.

Our team is made up of lifelong gamers, writers, and creators who care about this industry as much as you do. We play the games, we follow the drama, and we hold the same companies accountable that we grew up loving. No payola, no corporate spin, no pretending a broken launch is fine because the publisher bought an ad on our site. We call it like we see it, and we think you’ll appreciate the difference.

Loregrounds is still growing, and we want you to be part of that journey. Whether you’re here for the breaking news, the deep dives, or just a place that feels like it actually gets gaming, welcome aboard. This is your proving ground — and we’re glad you’re here.
