Game Informer is back, and so is its entire staff. On Tuesday, editor-in-chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to the gaming magazine, helping to bring the site and its archives back online.
GameStop, which previously owned Game Informer, shut down the beloved magazine last August and laid off its entire staff after a more than 30-year run. The team teased a comeback last week, and has already published a series of new reviews for titles released during the magazine’s hiatus, along with a belated list of the best games of 2024.
Its new owners, Gunzilla Games, is a game developer based in Europe that’s currently working on a battle royale title called Off the Grid. Miller says the magazine will continue operating as an independent editorial outlet under a new entity called Game Informer, Inc. “Our intent is to continue to focus on highlighting the coolest games, celebrating the history and legacy of the gaming industry, and shining a spotlight on the creators and players who are charting its future,” Miller says.
In addition to bringing back its website, Game Informer plans to resurrect its print magazine, too, with “new membership and subscription benefits.” Though Game Informer currently isn’t offering a subscription just yet, you can sign up for an account on its website to receive updates, as well as gain access to the magazine’s archive. Game Informer will continue updating its site with news, reviews, previews, features, event coverage, and more starting today.
