Just over six months after GameStop pulled the plug in August 2024, the iconic gaming publication Game Informer has made a triumphant return, with the entire team back on board. 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 from GameStop. Gunzilla Games is not only bringing back the editorial team but also the production crew and more.
Notably, Gunzilla Games is committed to maintaining Game Informer's independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners "insisted on the idea of Game Informer remaining an independent editorial outlet," ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions. This commitment to editorial freedom is a cornerstone of Game Informer's revival under the newly formed Game Informer Inc., which brings back the over 30-year legacy of the website that was shut down last August.
The team at Game Informer 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 of the print magazine will be pleased to know that it's set to return, with plans to make it "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer will introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and broaden their range of experts and partnerships to enrich their content.
