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

Just over six months after GameStop's closure of Game Informer in August 2024, the iconic gaming publication is making a triumphant return. The entire team is back on board, thanks to Gunzilla Games, which has acquired the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. In a 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games is not only reviving the editorial team but is also set to expand "production and beyond."

For those new to the scene, Gunzilla Games is the 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 support community-driven economies in AAA games, including Off the Grid. Adding to their creative prowess, Gunzilla 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 Gunzilla Games' commitment to preserving Game Informer's editorial independence. He noted that the new owners are firm believers in maintaining an editorial group that makes "100 percent of the decisions" regarding coverage, free from any external influence. This commitment to independence has led to the creation of Game Informer Inc., ensuring the continuation of the website's over 30-year legacy, which had been interrupted since its closure in August 2024.

Dedicated to seamless coverage, the team at Game Informer has prepared "dozens" of new reviews for games released during their hiatus, along with their Best of 2024 awards. While the print magazine will return at a later date, Miller assured fans that it 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 network of experts and partnerships to enrich their content.
