Miller emphasized that Gunzilla Games is dedicated to maintaining Game Informer's independence, ensuring that the editorial team retains full control over content decisions without external influence. This commitment to editorial freedom is a cornerstone of the relaunch, allowing Game Informer to continue delivering unbiased and comprehensive coverage of the gaming industry.

Now operating under the new entity, Game Informer Inc., the website has resumed its over 30-year legacy of providing top-notch gaming news and insights. To ensure no interruption in their coverage, the team has prepared "dozens" of new reviews covering games released during their hiatus, along with their Best of 2024 awards.

While the iconic print magazine will return at a later date, the team is focused on making it "bigger and better than it was before." In the coming weeks, Game Informer will introduce membership and subscription benefits, an expanded scope of video, streaming, and feature coverage, and plans to broaden their network of experts and partnerships to enhance the perspectives they offer to readers.

For those eager to stay updated, creating a new Game Informer account offers early access to exclusive perks such as the Game Informer Magazine Archive, a weekly newsletter, Dark Mode, and Early-Bird Founder Access. Dive back into the world of Game Informer and enjoy the best in gaming journalism once again.
