Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon universe has some good news: a brand new video game called Blood Line is out now on Netflix. We’re going to talk about what this means for fans, Snyder’s plans for the franchise and a bit about his love for Fortnite.
Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game is Netflix’s new attempt to expand Snyder’s sci-fi world. This week a new co-op action game was released. It was made by Super Evil Megacorp, the same studio that did Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate. This is a mobile RPG and is only for Netflix subscribers. You play against the cruel Motherworld. Choose from four classes: sniper, tank, support or assassin. Team up with up to four friends to complete missions full of action!
After the events of Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, Blood Line tells a new story about new rebel recruits. The game has lots of replayability, different stories and tough challenges for experienced players. Snyder himself praised the game saying the story and boss fights were great. Even if you haven’t seen the movies, the game’s story works on its own. It’s isometric twin-stick shooting with Zack Snyder’s movie style. It’s like Helldivers combined with a space adventure—I’m in!
Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Rebel Moon. Zack Snyder’s movies, Part One: A Child of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver, will be on Netflix in 2023 and 2024. There will also be R-rated director’s cuts in August 2024. Despite the movies getting mixed reviews, Snyder’s plans for the universe are moving forward. He has a lot of stories to tell including comics and TV spin-offs. But here’s the thing: a third Rebel Moon movie isn’t what he’s focused on right now.
Snyder is working on an unnamed LAPD-SWAT action movie for Netflix so he’s put Rebel Moon 3 on hold. He’s leaving the door open and saying he’ll see if the franchise can happen “at all”. This is bad news for fans who want more movies as his co-writer said it would take a miracle to get another one made. Blood Line proves Netflix believes in the universe and Snyder is still enthusiastic about the project so he’s not killing it off.
Did you know? Snyder loves Fortnite! He says he plays it a lot. He prefers battle royale games over campaign-style games like Blood Line but his gaming habits show he loves exploring detailed worlds. This is why Blood Line is a perfect fit for his vision—big battles and slow-motion hero moments just like in his movies. He’s really excited about how the game captures the Rebel Moon feel. I’m also curious to see how his gaming habits will influence his future projects.
