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

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts! Game Informer, the beloved gaming publication, has made a triumphant return just over six months after GameStop closed it down in August 2024. The entire team is back, and they're ready to dive into the world of games 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. This move not only brings back the editorial team but extends to "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, which is currently in Early Access. They're also the developers of GunZ, a "Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem" designed to enhance community-driven economies within AAA games, including Off the Grid. Adding to their impressive lineup, the team 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 committed to keeping Game Informer as an independent editorial outlet. They believe, as strongly as the team does, that the publication's future lies in maintaining full editorial control over what and how they cover gaming news. This commitment has led to the creation of a new entity, Game Informer Inc., which revives the over 30-year legacy of the website that was shut down last August.

The team has been busy during their hiatus, ensuring there's no gap in their coverage. They've prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence and are set to unveil their Best of 2024 awards. Fans of the print magazine will be thrilled to know it's also making a comeback, but with a promise from Miller that it will return "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 the range of experts and partnerships to enrich their content.

Early adopters will enjoy perks such as access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access.
