Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the beloved gaming magazine and website, is making a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. Spearheaded by Gunzilla Games, the developer behind the innovative free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, Game Informer is set to relaunch with its entire editorial team intact. This move was announced in a 'Letter From the Editor' by Matt Miller, Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, who shared that Gunzilla Games not only acquired the rights to Game Informer but is committed to bringing back the full production team and more.
Gunzilla Games, known for their work in the gaming industry and led by the visionary Neill Blomkamp as chief creative officer and co-founder, has promised to maintain Game Informer's independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners are dedicated to ensuring that the editorial team retains full autonomy over content decisions, free from any external influence. This commitment to editorial freedom is a core part of Game Informer's revival under the newly formed entity, Game Informer Inc., which will continue the magazine's storied 30-year legacy.
To bridge the gap caused by the hiatus, the team at Game Informer has been busy preparing "dozens" of new game reviews and their Best of 2024 awards, ensuring that fans won't miss out on critical coverage. While the print magazine will return at a later date, Miller teased that it will be "bigger and better than it was before." In the near future, Game Informer plans to introduce membership and subscription benefits, enhance their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and expand their network of experts and partnerships to deliver a broader range of perspectives.
For those eager to dive back into the world of Game Informer, creating a new account on their website will keep you in the loop with all the latest updates. Early benefits for new account holders include access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, the option to use Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access, ensuring you stay at the forefront of gaming journalism.
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.
