About Emma Ward
Emma (she/her) is an Evergreen Editor at DualShockers. During her time with DualShockers, she has had a handful of roles including writer, specialist, and editor, and has led some of the biggest projects of 2023, like The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, Starfield, and Diablo 4.
She has been playing videogames since she could hold a controller. When she isn't gaming on her PlayStation 5 or Switch you can find her bingeing anime or in the studio working on her latest song.
Industry Focus
I've been working in games media for a little over a year now, and bring decades of experience playing all manner of videogames. In addition to editing content and assisting our writing team, I manage our AAA videogame directories, lead large projects, write about the Playstation and Nintendo titles I'm playing, and create custom imagery for our content.
Favorite Games and Genres
I play most genres of games but have a particular proclivity for RPGs, roguelikes, metroidvanias, and life-sims. My favorite games include The Legend of Zelda series (because how can you choose just one?), Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, and Don't Starve Together. There are some AAA titles that I frequently lose myself in, but I tend to spend most of my time playing indie games.
First Game Console and Preferred Platforms
My first console was the original NES, but I spent most of my youth playing on the N64 and PlayStation 1/2. While I do own all the current-gen consoles, I primarily play on my PS5 and Switch.
