Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, a staple in the gaming journalism world, is making a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The entire team is back, thanks to Gunzilla Games, who have acquired the rights to Game Informer and are committed to reviving it to its former glory and beyond.
In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller shared that Gunzilla Games, known for their work on the Early Access game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, are dedicated to maintaining Game Informer's independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners are as passionate as the editorial team about preserving the integrity of Game Informer's content, ensuring that the editorial group retains full control over coverage decisions.
Operating now under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the team is not only bringing back the website but also ensuring there's no gap in their coverage. They've prepared dozens of new reviews for games released during their hiatus and are ready to unveil their Best of 2024 awards.
Fans of the print magazine can rejoice as well, though they'll have to wait a bit longer. Miller promised that the print version will return "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 broaden their range of experts and partnerships to enrich their content.
