Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the beloved gaming publication, is making a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The entire team is back, and they're ready to dive into the world of gaming once again. In a heartfelt '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 acquisition not only brings back the editorial team but also extends to "production and beyond."

What's particularly noteworthy is Gunzilla Games' commitment to maintaining Game Informer's editorial independence. Miller emphasized that the new owners are adamant about preserving the outlet's autonomy, ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions. This dedication to independence is a cornerstone of Game Informer's revival, now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc.

Game Informer's rich 30-year history is back in action, with no gaps in coverage. The team has prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their hiatus, along with their Best of 2024 awards. Fans of the print magazine will be thrilled to know that it's set to return, with plans 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 their range of experts and partnerships to bring diverse perspectives to their audience.
