Game Informer Revived: Entire Team Returns Under Neill Blomkamp's Studio

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer is making a triumphant return, just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The beloved gaming publication is back in action, with the entire team returning under the new ownership of Gunzilla Games. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, announced the acquisition and the ambitious plans to not only revive the editorial team but also expand the production scope.

For those new to the scene, Gunzilla Games is the creative force behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game, Off the Grid, currently in Early Access. They are 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, District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder, bringing his unique vision to the team.

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 strongly supported the idea of an editorial team that retains full control over content decisions, free from any external influence. This commitment to editorial freedom is reflected in Game Informer's new entity, Game Informer Inc., which brings back the publication's over 30-year legacy after its brief hiatus.

The team at Game Informer has been busy during their time away, preparing "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their absence and compiling 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," though it will launch at a later date.

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 they collaborate with to deliver diverse perspectives to their audience.
