Game Informer could be making a comeback later this month, if a new social media post is of any indication. From 1991 all the way to 2024, Game Informer was one of the most revered gaming publications on the market, offering readers exclusive previews, reviews, and interviews for upcoming video games along with fun features about older titles. By the 2010s, Game Informer stood alongside major magazines like Time Magazine and Sports Illustrated as some of the most-read publications in the United States.
This made the news of Game Informer shutting down last August all the more painful for its devoted fans, especially since it meant that classic interviews and features on then-upcoming titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard would be essentially lost media following their removal from Game Informer’s website. Luckily, dedicated readers have made efforts to catalog these lost Game Informer articles in online databases so that everyone can enjoy them long after the magazine they were first printed in was shut down.
Now it appears that the people behind Game Informer might be looking to bring back the legendary magazine. Game Informer’s official Bluesky account recently posted a cryptic video showing a laptop with Game Informer’s farewell message on its screen. The video then shows the date of March 25, 2025, which in turn has left commenters wondering if the defunct magazine is staging a comeback.
Some fans are weary about this mysterious announcement, as they worry it might be for something AI or NFT-related. However, it appears that many former Game Informer staff members are sharing the post, leaving many hopeful that the publication is teasing its impending return. These past readers would share some of their memories of Game Informer and praise the magazine’s original staff for their coverage of all things gaming.
This support is a testament to the legacy that Game Informer built over its original 33-year run, from its humble beginnings under FuncoLand to its later acquisition by GameStop and all the games, consoles, and major industry-changing events to come during that long time. A lot of readers were saddened by the news of Game Informer coming to a sudden end last summer, but now they could have something to look forward to on March 25, the day that Game Informer will presumably reveal its new plans for the future – a future that could include a full return of the magazine that captivated gamers for over three decades.
