Game Informer Teases Potential Revival After 2024 Shutdown

Cryptic posts from dormant social media accounts and former staff hint at a March 25 announcement, sparking speculation about the magazine's return under its original team.

• Game Informer, a prominent video game magazine, was abruptly shut down by GameStop in August 2024 after a 33-year run.
• On March 19, 2025, the magazine's dormant social media accounts posted a teaser video featuring a glitching farewell message and the text 'CONSOLE.WRITELINE(CONTINUE?);' alongside the date March 25, 2025.
• Several former Game Informer staff, including Brian Shea and Matt Miller, shared similar teasers, suggesting their involvement in a potential revival.
• The posts have raised hopes that the magazine could return independent of GameStop, which had controversially closed it last year.
• The gaming and media communities view this potential comeback as a rare positive development in the struggling games journalism industry.
