In
a
rather
shocking
turn
of
events,
the
iconic
Game
Informer
magazine
has
been
resurrected.
Not
only
that,
but
the
entire
original
team
is
back
and
looking
forward
to
relaunching
the
magazine
and
website.

“I
was
devastated
last
summer
when
Game
Informer
was
shuttered
by
our
prior
parent
company,
and
so
was
the
rest
of
our
team,”

said
Matt
Miller,
Editor-in-Chief
on
the
official
Game
Informer
website.
“Not
only
did
we
really
relish
working
together,
but
we
also
thought
we
were
doing
something
valuable
in
contributing
to
the
conversation
around
the
gaming
hobby.”

“Over
the
months
since
[since
Gamestop
shuttered
the
magazine],
two
remarkable
things
happened.
The
first
is
that
Game
Informer
as
a
brand
and
an
outlet
was
purchased
and
given
a
new
lease
on
life.
The
second
is
that
the entire
team that
was
working
together
at
Game
Informer’s
closure
has
returned,
from
editorial
to
production
and
beyond.
The
entire
team.
Seriously
–
I’m
still
pinching
myself.”

This
rather
miraculous
return
comes
courtesy
of
a
surprising
source:
Gunzilla
Games.
If
you
don’t
know
the
name,
don’t
feel
too
bad.
The
company
made
NFT
battle
royale
game
Off
The Grid,
and
blockchain
platform
Gunz.
The
company
event
has
movie
director
Neill
Blomkamp
in
its
camp,
acting
as
Chief
Creative
Officer
and
co-founder.

Vlad
Korolov,
CEO
&
Co-Founder
of
Gunzilla
Games,
said, “We
are
proud
to
welcome
the
talented
voices
behind
Game
Informer
in
the
Gunzilla
Games
family,
and
join
their
fight
to
preserve
the
heart
of
video
game
journalism
in
what
has
been
a
tumultuous
time
for
the
industry.
Its
legacy
spans
over
33
years,
the
publication
has
had
a
dedicated
readership
since
its
inception
and
still
holds
a
special
place
in
the
hearts
of
many
players
across
multiple
generations
—
including
us.”

Miller
promises
that
part
of
the
deal
is
that
Game
Informer
remains
“an
independent
editorial
outlet”
and
that
the
team
is
going
to
be
making”100
percent
of
the
decisions”
regarding
what
is
covered.

The
website
has
been
relaunched
and
there
are
even
a
bunch
of
new
reviews
already
live
covering
some
of
the
games
released
since
the
magazine
shut.
Speaking
of
which,
the
magazine
will
also
be
getting
relaunched.

I
admit,
this
new
is
confusing.
I’m
excited
to
see
Game
Informer
return,
especially
as
I
have
a
soft
spot
for
magazines.
But
the
new
owners
are
a
tad
baffling.
Provided
Game
Informer
steers
clear
of
ever
covering
anything
related
to
Gunzilla
it
shouldn’t
prove
an
issue.
An
NFT
and
blockchain
company,
though?
What
a
crazy
situation.
