Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer is making a triumphant return just over six months after GameStop shut it down in August 2024. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games, the creators behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, have acquired the rights to Game Informer. This acquisition not only brings back the entire editorial team but also extends to production and other aspects of the operation.
Notably, Gunzilla Games is committed to preserving Game Informer's independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners are adamant about maintaining an editorial outlet that operates autonomously, making all decisions about coverage without any external influence. This commitment to editorial freedom has led to the establishment of Game Informer Inc., which now hosts the website's rich 30-year history that was briefly interrupted last year.
To ensure no gap in their coverage, the team has prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their hiatus, along with their Best of 2024 awards. Additionally, fans of the print magazine can look forward to its return, promised to be "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to enhance its offerings with membership and subscription benefits, an expanded scope in 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 on all developments and enjoy early benefits such as access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access.
