Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Game Informer, the beloved gaming media outlet, has made a triumphant return just over six months after GameStop shut it down in August 2024. In a heartfelt 'Letter From the Editor,' Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller announced that Gunzilla Games has acquired the rights to Game Informer from GameStop. Gunzilla Games, known for developing the free-to-play extraction battle royale game Off the Grid and the blockchain ecosystem GunZ, is committed to reviving the full spectrum of Game Informer's operations, including its editorial and production teams.

Gunzilla Games, currently in the spotlight with Off the Grid in Early Access, also boasts the creative prowess of Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9 and Chappie, who serves as the company's chief creative officer and co-founder. Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games is dedicated to preserving Game Informer's editorial independence, ensuring that the team retains full control over content decisions without any external influence.
