Game Informers Possible Resurrection: A Teaser Sparks Hope for Its Return

The legendary magazine Game Informer, which was closed by GameStop in August 2024 after 33 years of operation, seems to be preparing for a comeback. This is hinted at by a mysterious teaser released on the publication’s official social media pages.

The brief video displays a laptop screen featuring a farewell message that was displayed on the Game Informer website following its shutdown, followed by the screen going dark with a promise of news on March 25. This hint has stirred excitement within the gaming community, which lost one of its oldest news sources.

After the teaser surfaced online, several former Game Informer employees shared similar teasers on their microblogs. Videos also appeared from former content director Brian Shea and editor-in-chief Matt Miller. It appears that the original team may be back at work.

To recap, Game Informer is the oldest gaming magazine in the U.S., established in August 1991 by FuncoLand, which later became GameStop. Over its 33-year history, it became a cult favorite. At the time of its closure, the magazine had a circulation of 3.5 million copies, making it the largest gaming publication in the world. This is why its closing triggered a wave of outrage.

Now, the online community is speculating whether the magazine will return in print or transform into a digital project.
