Game Informer Revived by Neill Blomkamp's Studio, Entire Team Returns

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer is officially back in action, just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The entire team is returning, and they're ready to dive back into the world of gaming journalism with renewed vigor. In a heartfelt '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. Gunzilla Games, the developer behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, is now steering the ship. Not only are they bringing back the editorial team, but they're also expanding to "production and beyond."

Gunzilla Games is not just any developer; they're also the minds behind Off the Grid, currently in Early Access, and GunZ, a blockchain ecosystem designed to enhance community-driven economies in AAA games. Adding to the excitement, renowned director Neill Blomkamp, known for films like District 9 and Chappie, is on board 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 are adamant about preserving the editorial team's autonomy, ensuring that Game Informer remains a 100 percent independent outlet. This commitment to independence is reflected in the creation of Game Informer Inc., under which the website will now operate. With over three decades of history, Game Informer is back and ready to bridge the gap in its coverage. The team has prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their hiatus and is set to unveil their Best of 2024 awards.

While the print magazine will return at a later date, Miller promises that it will be "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand its video, streaming, and feature coverage, and collaborate with a broader range of experts and partners to enrich their content.
