Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the iconic gaming media outlet, is making a triumphant return, a little over six months after GameStop shut it down in August 2024. The entire team is back, and they're ready to dive into the world of gaming once again, thanks to Gunzilla Games, the developer behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ. Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to Game Informer and is committed to reviving not just the editorial team but the entire production process and more.
In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller expressed enthusiasm about the revival. He emphasized that Gunzilla Games insisted on maintaining Game Informer's independence, allowing the editorial team to make 100% of the decisions regarding content coverage and presentation, free from external influence. This commitment to editorial integrity is a cornerstone of Game Informer's return.
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.
