Game Informer has returned after being shut down by GameStop in August 2024.
In a letter from editor-in-chief Matt Miller, he revealed that the publication had been purchased by Gunzilla Games.
The firm secured the rights to the brand, with Game Informer operating independently from the studio under the entity Game Informer Inc.
The whole team – who were previously laid off – has returned, and the website has been reinstated with its back content. When it was shut down, the site was completely stripped of articles which prevented staff from saving their work.
“From the start, the new owners insisted on the idea of Game Informer remaining an independent editorial outlet,” wrote Miller.
“They felt just as strongly as our team did that the only path forward for us with an editorial group that made 100% of the decisions around what we cover and how we do so without any influence from them or anyone else.”
“Our intent is 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 concluded: “I am deeply grateful for the trust and enthusiasm from the team at Gunzilla Games; they see the same potential in Game Informer as our team does, and their encouragement to do so ethically and free of outside pressure is laudable.”
