About the gameinformer may issue

I’m a little confused here.

The gameinformer issue says it is the ‘may’ copy, yet everyone says something about the magazine releasing this weekend?

Could anybody care to shed some light on this matter?

They usually realese the magazine a month before.
Assassins Creed 3 was April´s cover.

It’s being released digitally on april 10th.

The month on the magazine has always the next month, so if it is the May issue, it releases in April. If it is the October issue, it is released in September. No one knows why they do it like that.
