Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer has made a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The entire team is back, and they're ready to dive into the world of gaming once again. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games, the developer behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, has acquired the rights to Game Informer. Not only is the editorial team returning, but the new owners are committed to expanding the production and beyond.
What's particularly noteworthy is Gunzilla Games' dedication to maintaining Game Informer's independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners insisted on the outlet remaining an independent editorial entity, allowing the team to make 100% of the decisions regarding content coverage without any external influence. This commitment to editorial freedom is a cornerstone of Game Informer's revival.
Game Informer is now operating under a new entity, Game Informer Inc., and has brought back its over 30-year history of gaming journalism. The team has been busy during their hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence, along with their Best of 2024 awards. Fans can look forward to the return of the print magazine, which Miller promises will be "bigger and better than it was before," though it will be released at a later date.
In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and broaden their range of experts and partnerships. To stay updated and enjoy early benefits such as access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access, interested readers can create a new Game Informer account.
