Game Informer, a once-prominent video game magazine, shut down last year, leading to job losses. Recently, its social media account has shown cryptic signs suggesting a potential return, culminating in a video featuring a farewell message and a 'Continue' prompt reminiscent of arcade games. Notably, former staff, including Brian Shea, have amplified these hints, implying that the magazine could be reviving with its original team. As digital media continues to contract, this news contrasts the prevailing trend of layoffs in journalism, creating a sense of optimism about Game Informer's fate.
At the same time, several former Game Informer staff, including director Brian Shea, shared the post, strengthening the idea the magazine is on its way back.
Taken together, the teasers suggest Game Informer is coming back with its former staff returning to lead the publication.
With the continued shrinking of digital media putting thousands of journalists out of work, especially in video games, it's incredibly rare that something good happens.
While we don't quite know what form this announcement will take on March 25th, I think we can tentatively say, Game Informer 's getting the band back together.
