Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer has made a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. In a heartwarming 'Letter From the Editor,' Matt Miller, Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, announced that Gunzilla Games, the creative force 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 has the entire editorial team returned, but Gunzilla Games is committed to reviving "production and beyond," ensuring a robust comeback for the beloved gaming publication.
What makes this revival even more promising is the commitment to editorial independence. Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games insisted on Game Informer remaining a completely independent outlet, allowing the editorial team to make 100% of the decisions on coverage without any external influence. This commitment to integrity and autonomy is a cornerstone of Game Informer's resurgence, now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc.
With over three decades of history to uphold, Game Informer is back with a vengeance. The team has diligently prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their hiatus and is ready to unveil their Best of 2024 awards. Fans of the print magazine can also rejoice, as it is set to return "bigger and better than before," although at a later date.
In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to enhance its offerings with membership and subscription benefits, expanding their scope to include more video, streaming, and feature coverage. They aim to broaden their range of experts and partnerships to bring diverse perspectives to their audience.
If you're eager to stay updated and dive into the revitalized Game Informer experience, you can create a new account on their website. Early benefits include access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access.
Game Informer is back! The entire team is returning and we can't wait to reconnect. Come join us to celebrate the best in games, the people who make games, and the people who play games from around the world.
