Video game developer Super Evil Megacorp has entered into a partnership with Netflix to develop a game for a forthcoming new IP. At Gamescom, Zack Snyder revealed the trailer for Rebel Moon, a Netflix-exclusive sci-fi epic. Snyder also announced that Super Evil Megacorp will develop a Rebel Moon game.
According to the developer, the Rebel Moon video game will be a four-player co-op action title. Rebel Moon will be exclusively available to current Netflix subscribers. Super Evil Megacorp is determined to give players an authentic Rebel Moon experience. To do so, the development team is working with the movie production team to create an experience that’s true to the film.
“We are working in close collaboration with the movie team to provide an additive and detailed look at the universe and factions you will experience in the films,” states Creative Lead Kevin Michael Johnson in a recent post.
Rebel Moon Trailer Looks Epic
The first Rebel Moon film trailer shows a stunning and diverse universe at war. The film stars Sofia Boutella as Kora, a strange woman who gathers a small group to battle a powerful force.
“When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival,” states the trailer’s description on YouTube. “Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge.”
The film will release on Netflix on December 22nd, 2023. However, as of now, there is no official release date for the game.
Next-level cooperative play
Super Evil Megacorp is a mobile game developer. Founded in 2012, the company has created titles such as Vainglory and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate.
“Building worlds is our passion and the opportunity to collaborate on this one has been a dream come true, making us equal parts excited and terrified by the creative challenge ahead,” says Johnson. “Our studio has learned a great deal about cooperative play from Vainglory, Catalyst Black, and TMNT: Splintered Fate and we are intending to take all of those learnings and push them to the next level.”
