Game Informer Returns Under Neill Blomkamp's Studio Leadership

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the beloved gaming publication, has made a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The entire team is back, ready to dive into the world of gaming journalism once again, thanks to Gunzilla Games, the new owner who secured the rights to the iconic brand. Gunzilla Games, known for their work on the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid, which is currently in Early Access, and their innovative blockchain ecosystem GunZ, has ensured that Game Informer remains an independent editorial outlet. This commitment was emphasized by Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, in his 'Letter From the Editor,' where he shared that the new owners insisted on maintaining the magazine's editorial independence, allowing the team to make 100% of the decisions regarding content and coverage.

Game Informer is now operating under a new entity, Game Informer Inc., marking a fresh start while honoring its over 30-year legacy. The team has been busy during their hiatus, preparing "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence, along with their Best of 2024 awards, ensuring there's no gap in their coverage. Fans of the print magazine can also look forward to its return, with plans to make it "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer will introduce new 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 for new members include access to the Game Informer Magazine Archive, an exclusive weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access. It's an exciting time for Game Informer and its community, as they look forward to celebrating the best in games, the creators behind them, and the global gaming community.

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.
