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

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the renowned gaming publication, is making a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. The entire editorial team is back, ready to dive into the world of gaming once again, thanks to Gunzilla Games, the new owners who acquired the rights to Game Informer.

In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, shared the thrilling update. Gunzilla Games, known for their free-to-play extraction battle royale game, Off the Grid, which is currently in Early Access, and their innovative blockchain ecosystem, GunZ, have not only brought back the editorial team but are also committed to expanding the production scope. Notably, Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed director behind films like District 9 and Chappie, serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder, adding a significant creative boost to the team.

Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games is dedicated to maintaining Game Informer's independence, ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions. This commitment to editorial freedom has led to the creation of Game Informer Inc., a new entity under which the publication will operate, preserving its over 30-year legacy.

Determined not to miss a beat, the team has prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their hiatus and is ready to unveil 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 will introduce membership and subscription benefits, expand their video, streaming, and feature coverage, and broaden their range of experts and partnerships to deliver diverse perspectives.
