Director Zack Snyder has revealed that a tie-in video game for his upcoming Netflix sci-fi movie, Rebel Moon, is in the works.
During an interview with The Nerd Queens, the filmmaker was discussing his new movie and spoke about building a new world from scratch for Rebel Moon, the main character Kora, and what a franchise would look like in the future. It was at this point that Snyder confirmed that an open-world RPG based on Rebel Moon is currently in the works and he's helping with the development.
«The one thing that I’m having a really good time with--and I don’t really know if I’m supposed to talk about it--but, this RPG that we’re doing that is just literally insane, and so immersive and so intense and so huge,» Snyder said.
"...There's more coming, but all I'll say is… it was pitched to me, because I've always wanted to do an RPG, but they were like 'We could do it at this scale or we could do it at ridiculous scale.' And I was like ridiculous scale is clearly the scale that we should be doing it."
Snyder didn't reveal which studio is developing the RPG, saying that they told him that «it's going to take so much time, because we've got to all these brain dumps, you’ve got to tell us everything in the universe, what’s happening...» Snyder said he told them, «It’s fine, I’m happy to do it, let’s go all the way.»
The filmmaker ended by saying that the game will feature «a completely realized universe» of Rebel Moon and «it's really going to be fun» before cutting himself off and saying, «Anyway, I’m not supposed to talk about it.»
Rebel Moon is set to release on Netflix on December 22.
