Game Informer Revived: Entire Team Returns Under Neill Blomkamp's Studio
Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer has made a triumphant return just over six months after GameStop closed it down in August 2024. The entire team is back on board, ready to dive into the world of gaming once more. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games, the creative force behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, has acquired the rights to Game Informer. They're committed to reviving not just the editorial team, but the entire production process and more.
What makes this comeback even more promising is Gunzilla Games' dedication to preserving Game Informer's editorial independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners are adamant about maintaining an independent editorial outlet, ensuring that the team retains full control over content decisions. This commitment to autonomy is a cornerstone of Game Informer's new chapter under the banner of Game Informer Inc., which brings back the over 30-year legacy of the website that was abruptly shut down 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 can also look forward to its return, with Miller promising a version that's "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to roll out membership and subscription benefits, expand their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and collaborate with a broader range of experts and partners to enrich their content.
