Game Informer Revived: Iconic Magazine Returns with New Ownership and Exciting Relaunch Plans
March 25, 2025
Game Informer plans to relaunch its print edition, enhancing its offerings with new membership and subscription benefits, with details to be announced soon.
Game Informer has been revived after its abrupt closure by GameStop in August 2024, with Gunzilla Games acquiring the rights and allowing the original editorial team to return.
Now operating under the new entity Game Informer Inc., the publication aims to preserve its over 30-year legacy while evolving its content offerings.
Gunzilla Games CEO Vlad Korolov expressed pride in supporting Game Informer and emphasized the importance of the magazine's legacy in video game journalism.
Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller expressed gratitude towards Gunzilla for their support, ensuring that Game Informer will operate independently and ethically.
The relaunch includes a fully operational website featuring digital archives that preserve over three decades of gaming history, available for free.
The website restoration has allowed the staff to publish reviews for over two dozen games released during their hiatus, along with previously archived content.
The magazine aims to highlight innovative games, celebrate the gaming industry's history, and focus on the creators and players shaping its future.
To celebrate their return, Game Informer has released its Game of the Year awards for 2024, albeit later than usual.
Further details about the relaunch of the physical magazine will be shared soon, with reviews of games released during the closure already available on their website.
The magazine will be available in both print and digital formats, with the team eager to resume their content creation.
Before its closure, Game Informer was one of North America's longest-running video game publications, having started in 1991.
