Game Informer has announced its return, with its full staff, after it was abruptly shut down back in August 2024.
It was a sad day in video game media when Game Informer's doors were closed. After over three decades, it was shut down without so much as a warning. And with just as little warning to longtime fans, some good news was delivered. Game Informer returns and the entire team is back with it.
All jokes aside, this is wonderful for anybody who enjoys video games, the news and journalism behind them, and is an avid fan of what Game Informer delivered for 30+ years.
