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 Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller shared the exciting news that Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. Gunzilla Games, known for developing the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid, which is currently in Early Access, and the innovative GunZ blockchain ecosystem, is spearheading this revival. Notably, the team is led by Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed director of District 9 and Chappie, serving as Gunzilla's 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 committed to maintaining Game Informer's independence. The new owners firmly believe in an editorial team that retains full autonomy over content decisions, ensuring unbiased coverage. Operating now under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the publication's rich 30-year history continues seamlessly. The team has been busy during the hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new game reviews and their Best of 2024 awards to keep fans engaged without missing a beat.
Fans of the print edition will be thrilled to learn that Game Informer's magazine is set to make a comeback, with plans to be "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer will introduce new membership and subscription benefits, enhance their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and expand their network of experts and partnerships to bring diverse perspectives to their audience.
Interested readers can create a new Game Informer account to stay updated and enjoy early benefits such as access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access. This exciting development marks a new chapter for Game Informer, promising to deliver top-notch gaming content and community engagement.
