Just over six months after GameStop pulled the plug in August 2024, Game Informer is making a triumphant return, with the entire team back on board. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, shared exciting news: Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to Game Informer from GameStop and is committed to reviving not only the editorial team but also expanding into "production and beyond."

For those new to the scene, Gunzilla Games is the creative force behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game, Off the Grid, currently in Early Access. They're also the developers of GunZ, a "Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem" designed to fuel community-driven economies in AAA games, including Off the Grid. Adding to their star power, Gunzilla boasts Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed 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 Gunzilla Games is adamant about preserving Game Informer's independence. They believe, just as strongly as the team does, that editorial freedom is crucial, ensuring that Game Informer makes 100 percent of the decisions about what to cover and how to do so, free from any external influence.

Now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the over 30-year legacy of the website is back in action. The team has been busy during their hiatus, compiling "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence, along with their Best of 2024 awards, ensuring no gap in their coverage.

Fans of the print magazine will be thrilled to know it's set to return as well, but at a later date. Miller teased that they're aiming 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.
