Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the beloved gaming magazine, is making a triumphant return just over six months after GameStop shut it down in August 2024. The entire editorial team is back, ready to dive into the world of gaming with renewed vigor. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games has secured the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. Gunzilla Games, known for developing the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid, now in Early Access, and the innovative "Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem" GunZ, is spearheading this revival. Notably, Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed director of District 9 and Chappie, joins the team as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder.
Game Informer's return was celebrated with a tweet from the official Game Informer account, inviting fans to reconnect and celebrate the best in games, the creators, and the global gaming community. You can learn more about this exciting development at [ttpp].

Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games is committed to maintaining Game Informer as an independent editorial outlet. The new owners believe strongly in an editorial team that has full control over its content, ensuring that Game Informer remains a trusted source of gaming journalism. Operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the website is back with its rich 30-year history intact. The team has been busy during the hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence, along with their Best of 2024 awards.
Fans of the print edition will be thrilled to know that Game Informer's magazine will also return, but at a later date. Miller promised that the print version will be "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to enhance its offerings with membership and subscription benefits, an expanded scope of video, streaming, and feature coverage, and a broader range of experts and partnerships to provide diverse perspectives.
