In Summer season 2024, GameStop abruptly shut down Sport Informer, ending the journal’s 33 year-long run, and shedding all the group. Nevertheless, on Tuesday, after a tease per week earlier, the journal and web site introduced its return.
No, it’s not again as a result of GameStop modified its thoughts. Even higher, GameStop offered the model and publication, and now all the Sport Informer group that was laid off is again, with the publication below a brand new dad or mum firm, Gunzilla Video games, with complete editorial independence from its new homeowners.
It was an enormous blow to the trade, that one of many few institutional magazines and troves of video games protection and historical past of the medium was abruptly snapped out of existence final summer time. That the entire group is now again, together with the web sites archives, and the journal returning later this yr is hopefully the fairy-tale starting of the subsequent vibrant chapter in Sport Informer’s legacy.
