Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the iconic gaming publication, is back in action! Just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024, the beloved platform has been revived, thanks to Gunzilla Games, who have acquired the rights and are bringing back the entire team. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced the return, emphasizing the commitment to maintaining an independent editorial voice.

Gunzilla Games, the developer behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid, now in Early Access, and the innovative blockchain ecosystem GunZ, have taken the helm. Noteworthy is the involvement of Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed director of District 9 and Chappie, who serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder. Their vision is clear: to preserve Game Informer's autonomy, ensuring that editorial decisions remain free from external influence.

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.

Under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the platform is not only reviving its digital presence but also its print magazine, which will return later with an enhanced format. Miller shared that the team has been busy during the hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new reviews for games released in their absence and their Best of 2024 awards, ensuring no gap in coverage.

Looking ahead, Game Informer plans to introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand its video, streaming, and feature coverage, and broaden its range of experts and partnerships.
