Latest News About Game Informer

Here’s the latest on Game Informer based on the most recent publicly available reporting:

• Game Informer’s status has evolved since its 2024 shutdown. In 2025-06, reports indicated a relaunch and acquisition by Gunzilla Games, with the publication returning as an independent editorial outlet and restoring its archive; print publication also resumed mid-2025. This represents a revival after the 2024 closure that ended 33 years of publication under GameStop.[1][3]
• The revival includes the website and editorial staff returning, and a continued emphasis on reviews, features, and industry coverage, with content spanning new game releases and industry insights under the new organizational structure. Updates emphasized a commitment to independent editorial integrity and continuity of GI’s legacy.[3][1]
• For context, GI previously faced a high-profile shutdown in August 2024, with the entire staff laid off and the site briefly taken offline; the 2025 relaunch followed a period of reorganization and new ownership arrangements, culminating in a return to print and digital coverage under the new banner.[1][3]
• In media coverage surrounding the closure, industry voices highlighted the impact on gaming media and the shift toward creator-driven and direct-to-consumer communication channels; GI’s return is seen as part of a broader renegotiation of how game journalism operates in a changing market.[4][5]

Illustration of the return:

• The 2025 relaunch signaled by editor statements and coverage confirms GI is operating again with its staff back in place, preserving its editorial voice while operating under a new ownership entity and brand structure.[3][1]
