Just over six months after GameStop pulled the plug on it in August 2024, Game Informer is making a triumphant return, and the entire team is back in action. In a 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, announced that Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. The plan is to revive not just the editorial team but also the production and more. For those not in the know, Gunzilla Games is the developer and publisher behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game, Off the Grid, currently in Early Access. They're also the creators of GunZ, a "Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem" that powers community-driven economies in AAA games, including Off the Grid. Additionally, the team boasts Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9 and Chappie, as their 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 the new owners, Gunzilla Games, are committed to maintaining Game Informer as an independent editorial outlet. They believe, just as strongly as the team does, that the best way forward is with an editorial group that has full control over content decisions, free from any external influence.
Now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the site's rich 30-year history is back online after its shutdown last August. The team has been busy during their hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new game reviews released during their absence and their Best of 2024 awards.
Excitingly, Game Informer's print magazine is also set to return, though at a later date. Miller shared that the team aims to make it "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer will introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and broaden the range of experts and partnerships they collaborate with to bring diverse perspectives to their audience.
