The Final Level: Farewell from Game Informer
After 33 exhilarating years of bringing you the latest news, reviews, and insights from the ever-evolving world of gaming, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Game Informer.
This decision was not made lightly. The changing landscape of the gaming media industry, coupled with the evolving consumption habits of our audience, has led us to a point where continuing as we have been is no longer sustainable.
However, this is not a death knell, but a natural evolution. From the early days of pixelated adventures to today’s immersive virtual realms, we’ve been honored to share this incredible journey with you, our loyal readers. While our presses may stop, the passion for gaming that we’ve cultivated together will continue to live on.
A Legacy of Coverage:
Game Informer’s journey began in 1991, a time when video games were still finding their footing in the mainstream. We were pioneers in a nascent industry, offering a dedicated platform for all things gaming. We were there for the dawn of the CD-ROM era, embraced the explosive growth of the PlayStation platform, and witnessed the rise of online gaming.
We chronicled the triumphs and tribulations of legendary developers, interviewed industry icons, and dissected countless titles. We weren’t just observers; we were evangelists, dedicated to sharing our love for gaming with the world.
