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

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, a beloved source for gaming news and reviews, has officially made its comeback just over six months after GameStop shut it down in August 2024. The entire team is returning, and they're ready to dive back into the world of gaming with renewed vigor. 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 from GameStop. This move not only brings back the editorial team but extends to "production and beyond."

What makes this revival even more exciting is Gunzilla Games' commitment to keeping Game Informer an independent editorial outlet. Miller emphasized that the new owners "insisted on the idea of Game Informer remaining an independent editorial outlet," ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over what they cover and how they do it, free from any external influence. This commitment to independence is a cornerstone of Game Informer's return, now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc.

The team has been busy during their hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence and their Best of 2024 awards. Fans can look forward to the return of the print magazine, which Miller promises will be "bigger and better than it was before," though it will be released at a later date. 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 bring diverse perspectives to their audience.
