Game Informer Revived: Neill Blomkamp's Studio Brings Back Entire Team

Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer is back in action just over six months after GameStop closed it down in August 2024. The entire team is making a triumphant return, thanks to Gunzilla Games, who have acquired the rights to the beloved gaming publication. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer's Editor-In-Chief, Matt Miller, shared the thrilling details of this revival, emphasizing that Gunzilla Games is committed to maintaining Game Informer's status as an independent editorial outlet. This means the editorial team will continue to have full autonomy over content decisions, ensuring the integrity and quality that fans have come to expect.

Gunzilla Games, known for their work on the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the innovative blockchain ecosystem GunZ, are steering this comeback. Notably, the team includes Neill Blomkamp, the acclaimed director of District 9 and Chappie, who serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder. Their involvement promises to bring fresh perspectives and energy to Game Informer.

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.
