Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the renowned gaming magazine and website, is making a triumphant return just over six months after its closure by GameStop in August 2024. Spearheading this revival is Gunzilla Games, the creative force behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game, Off the Grid, which is currently in Early Access. Gunzilla Games is also known for developing GunZ, a Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem that fuels community-driven economies within AAA games, including Off the Grid. Notably, the team includes Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9 and Chappie, who serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder.
In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, announced that Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. The new owners are committed to maintaining Game Informer as an independent editorial outlet, ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions. This commitment to editorial independence is a cornerstone of Game Informer's revival, allowing the team to continue delivering unbiased, high-quality gaming content.
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.
