Game Informer Revived by Neill Blomkamp's Studio, Entire Team Returns

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer is back in action! Just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024, the iconic gaming publication has been revived, and the entire team is returning to continue their passion for gaming journalism. In a heartfelt '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 secured the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. This move not only brings back the editorial team but extends to "production and beyond."

What makes this revival particularly noteworthy is Gunzilla Games' commitment to maintaining Game Informer's editorial independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners are adamant about Game Informer remaining a self-governing editorial outlet, ensuring that the team retains full control over content decisions. This dedication to independence is a core part of Game Informer's new chapter under Game Informer Inc., which revives the website's over 30-year legacy that was put on pause last year.

Game Informer isn't just picking up where it left off; the team has been busy during their hiatus. They've prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence and are ready to unveil their Best of 2024 awards. Fans of the print magazine will be thrilled to know that it's making a comeback, though at a later date, with promises of being "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and forge new partnerships to bring a broader range of expert perspectives to their audience.
