Game Informer Is Back and the Whole Team Is Returning With It Thanks to a New Owner: Neill Blomkamp's Video Game Studio

Author : Aaron Update : Mar 31,2025

Just over six months after GameStop pulled the plug in August 2024, Game Informer has triumphantly returned, and the entire team is back in action. 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. The new owners are not only bringing back the editorial team but also extending their reach into "production and beyond."

For those who might not be familiar, Gunzilla Games is the creative force behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game, Off the Grid, which is currently in Early Access. They are also the minds behind GunZ, a "Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem" that drives community-driven economies in AAA games, including Off the Grid. Adding star power to the mix, District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp serves as Gunzilla's chief creative officer and co-founder.

Game Informer is back! The entire team is returning and we can't wait to reconnect. Come join us to celebrate the best in games, the people who make games, and the people who play games from around the world.
