Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, a beloved gaming media outlet, has made a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The revival is spearheaded by Gunzilla Games, the innovative team behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid, now in Early Access. Gunzilla Games, also known for developing GunZ, a blockchain ecosystem that powers community-driven economies in AAA games, has acquired the rights to Game Informer. Adding to the excitement, renowned director Neill Blomkamp, known for films like District 9 and Chappie, serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder.
In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced the return of the entire editorial team, along with plans to expand production and beyond. Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games is committed to preserving Game Informer's independence, ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions. This commitment to editorial freedom is a cornerstone of Game Informer's resurgence, now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc.
To bridge the gap left by their hiatus, the team has prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence, as well as their Best of 2024 awards. Fans can also look forward to the return of the print magazine, which Miller promises will be "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to introduce membership and subscription benefits, an expanded scope of video, streaming, and feature coverage, and a broader range of expert partnerships to enrich their content.
Interested readers can create a new Game Informer account 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. The team is eager to reconnect with their audience and celebrate the best in games, the creators, and the global gaming community.
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.
