Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the iconic gaming media outlet that was shut down by GameStop in August 2024, is making a triumphant return! The entire team is back on board, thanks to Gunzilla Games, the developers behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ. Gunzilla Games not only acquired the rights to Game Informer but also emphasized the importance of maintaining its independence. In a 'Letter From the Editor,' Matt Miller, Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, highlighted that the new owners are committed to ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions.
Game Informer is now operating under a new entity, Game Informer Inc., ensuring its over 30-year legacy continues uninterrupted. The team has been busy during their hiatus, preparing dozens of new reviews for games released during their absence and gearing up to announce their Best of 2024 awards. Fans can also look forward to the return of the print magazine, which Miller promises will be "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer plans to 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.
To stay updated with all the latest happenings at Game Informer, you can create a new account on their website. Early benefits include access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access. With Gunzilla Games' support and the team's dedication to independent editorial freedom, Game Informer is set to reclaim its position as a leading voice in the gaming community.
