In 2004, Future Publishing bought two UK computer magazines - Computer and Video Games magazine and PC Zone - from Dennis Publishing for £2.5m in cash. They do not plan to make any changes to PC Zone, but they plan to suspend Computer and Video Games magazine in its current form due to low sales.
In 2004 Future Publishing also launched into the kids market with new licenced magazines. First came JETIX Magazine, the official mag of the JETIX TV channel and then Official Duel Masters Magazine based on the popular trading card game.
Future was started with the publication of Amstrad Action, from which it grew to become one of the largest publishing houses in the UK.
