Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the renowned gaming publication that was shut down by GameStop in August 2024, is making a triumphant return. The entire team is back, thanks to Gunzilla Games, which has acquired the rights to Game Informer and is committed to reviving not just the editorial staff, but also production and more.
In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller shared the details of this revival. Gunzilla Games, known for their free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid, now in Early Access, and their blockchain ecosystem GunZ, has taken on this new venture. Notably, the team at Gunzilla includes Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed director of District 9 and Chappie, serving as the chief creative officer and co-founder.
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.

Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games is dedicated to maintaining Game Informer's independence, ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions. This commitment to editorial freedom is reflected in the creation of a new entity, Game Informer Inc., under which the publication will operate. With over three decades of history, Game Informer is back online, bridging the gap with "dozens" of new reviews for games released during its hiatus and preparing to unveil their Best of 2024 awards.
Fans of the print magazine will be pleased to know it's also making a comeback, with plans to be "bigger and better than it was before." In the near future, Game Informer will introduce membership and subscription benefits, enhance their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and expand their network of experts and partnerships to bring diverse perspectives to their audience.
