Game Informer Revived: Entire Team Returns Under Neill Blomkamp's New Studio

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, which was shut down by GameStop in August 2024, has made a triumphant return! The entire team is back, ready to dive into the world of gaming journalism once more. In a 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer 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. They are committed to bringing back not just the editorial team but also expanding into production and beyond.

What's particularly noteworthy is Gunzilla Games' dedication 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 team retains 100% control over content decisions. This commitment to editorial freedom is a core part of Game Informer's revival.

Now operating as Game Informer Inc., the publication is picking up right where it left off, bridging the gap in coverage with dozens of new reviews for games released during their hiatus and their Best of 2024 awards. Fans of the print magazine will be pleased to know 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, an expanded scope to their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and a mission to broaden the range of experts and partnerships they collaborate with.

Interested readers can create a new Game Informer account to stay updated with the latest happenings. Early benefits include access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access. This relaunch marks a significant moment for Game Informer, promising to continue delivering top-notch gaming content with renewed vigor and independence.
