Game Informer Magazine Returns From The Dead: Gunzilla Games Steps In
Reports last summer suggested the lights went out for good at Game Informer. It appeared to be another casualty of print publishing in the video game world. However, the classic video game magazine is staging an unexpected resurrection.
Reports of its death were slightly ahead of time. The magazine has returned in editorial fanfare, in its standard style. This game Lazarus act has an unlikely source.
An Unlikely Hero Steps In
The rescuer is Gunzilla Games. This Frankfurt game studio, co-founded by movie director Neil Blomkamp (director of 'District 9'), acquired the brand rights from GameStop. Game Informer will now be an independent freestanding company, Game Informer Inc.
It is a curious move, a games maker grabbing a respected voice in the press. This move is designed to preserve the autonomy and heritage of the magazine.
Website Revived, Content Catch-Up Begins
The official Game Informer website has also returned online. The team has already published reviews for games released during their seven-month absence. They have also shared their top game picks for 2024 to date:
- Astro Bot
- Balatro
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
- Animal Well
- 1000xResist
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
- Marvel Rivals
- Helldivers 2
- Subscribers should receive their Game Informer content in digital and print formats again.
Gamers are pleased to have this familiar and trusted voice return. Welcome back, Game Informer.
