Last night’s Gamescom 2023 Opening Night Live event brought exciting news for fans of director Zack Snyder and video game developer Super Evil Megacorp. The event featured the highly anticipated reveal of the first trailer for Snyder’s upcoming movie, Rebel Moon, which will be released on Netflix in December. Alongside the trailer, it was announced that Super Evil Megacorp will be developing a game based on the movie, exclusively for Netflix Games.
Rebel Moon is a space opera that follows Kora, a mysterious young woman who assembles a team of warriors from different worlds to battle against a tyrannical force and save the galaxy. Snyder, best known for his work on the DC Extended Universe, has partnered with Netflix before, particularly on the Army of the Dead franchise.
Super Evil Megacorp has been teasing a collaboration with Netflix for a major new IP, and Rebel Moon is that project. The game will be a four-player co-op action game, although specific details are currently scarce. According to a blog post by Super Evil Megacorp, the studio is excited and equally terrified by the creative challenge of building a vast and dangerous universe like Rebel Moon. They plan to leverage their experience with cooperative play from games like Vainglory, Catalyst Black, and TMNT: Splintered Fate to deliver an immersive gaming experience.
This collaboration between Zack Snyder and Super Evil Megacorp is an exciting development at the intersection of films and video games, and fans can look forward to experiencing Rebel Moon in both mediums. Keep an eye out for more updates on this highly anticipated project.
