Two entertainment websites, News Corp’s IGN and Hearst Corporation’s UGO, are set to announce their plans to seperate from respective parent and companies and merge to form their own video game focused site. The news of this announcement was broken by a reporty from Peter Kafka of AllThingsD.
Before letting go of IGN, NewsCorp is apparently looking for more investors and properties to fill the gap. According to data from Comscore, IGN has an audience of 19.7 million U.S. visitors, while UGO has 13.1 million U.S. visitors.
