Zack Snyder is a very expressive director, known for his incredibly refined visual effects, pompous plot and grand, philosophical ideas.
The beginning of a new grand sci-fi universe?
People are divided on how effectively he executes these ideas, but often suggest that Snyder would be better suited to create his own game. At one point, he was even going to head up a video game group. After releasing his 300th box office hit, Snyder signed a deal with EA to help develop several video games that unfortunately never saw the light of day. However, Zack himself will soon return to the gaming world.
Who will create the game?
The game is being developed by Super Evil Megacorp , a mobile game developer working with Netflix. It will only be available to Netflix users in four-player co-op, as confirmed by the developer’s blog post:
As seen in the trailer, the Rebel Moon universe is vast and exotic, dark and dangerous; is a fantasy crafted with the rich history and dreams of our development team in mind. Building worlds is our passion, and being able to collaborate on this was a dream come true, leaving us both excited and terrified of the creative challenges ahead. Our studio has learned a lot about co-op games by creating projects like Vainglory , Catalyst Black and TMNT: Splintered Fate. We intend to take all of these insights and take them to the next level.
