Rebel Moon: Zack Snyder’s Sci-Fi Romp Takes Inspiration from Games
Despite his eclectic filmography, Zack Snyder has managed to build a dedicated fan base who eagerly awaits his next project. And now, with the unveiling of the first full-length trailer for Rebel Moon at Gamescom, it’s clear that this may be Snyder’s most passionate endeavor yet. Originally conceived as a Star Wars movie, Rebel Moon has since grown into its own unique creation while still wearing its influences proudly.
In the trailer, we meet Sofia Boutella’s Kora, a heroine forced to rise against an oppressive Empire-like authority that enslaves entire galaxies. Part Star Wars, part Dune, and all Zack Snyder, Rebel Moon promises to be a thrilling sci-fi romp, and it seems like Netflix already recognizes its franchise potential. As if the trailer wasn’t exciting enough, Zack Snyder himself revealed during his Gamescom appearance that Netflix is developing a video game based on Rebel Moon. Get ready for an interactive journey through this captivating universe!
Now, let’s dive into the sci-fi games that could inspire Rebel Moon’s game development. While details about the game are scarce, we know that it will be developed by the indie studio Super Evil Megacorp, the creative minds behind the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate game. That’s a promising start! And don’t worry, the game will stay true to the Rebel Moon franchise and include some kind of co-op experience. Beyond that, we can only speculate on what awaits us.
Will Rebel Moon be an open-world RPG? A heart-pounding first-person shooter? Or perhaps a top-down brawler akin to Splintered Fate? The possibilities are limitless, and that’s what makes this anticipation even more exciting. These are the moments when we gamers let our imaginations run wild!

When it comes to sci-fi co-op games, there’s no better inspiration than the legendary Halo series by Bungie. The early Halo games are still hailed as some of the best co-op experiences in gaming history. Rebel Moon’s game developers should pay close attention to Halo’s formula for crafting engaging co-op gameplay, even if they decide to go for a different genre. Additionally, let’s not forget the Destiny series, another shining example of how expansive universes can seamlessly merge with cooperative play. Rebel Moon can learn from these masters of co-op.
But Rebel Moon shouldn’t only focus on co-op mechanics; it also needs a richly developed world and captivating characters. That’s where BioWare’s Mass Effect series comes into play. In just a few hours of playing Mass Effect, players are immersed in a vast universe, encountering key characters and exploring intriguing locations. The game excels in world-building through environmental details, character dialogue, and captivating cutscenes. Rebel Moon’s game developers should take notes from Mass Effect on how to meticulously forge a universe that feels alive and captivating. They can also look to acclaimed Star Wars titles like Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor for inspiration on building upon an established setting and world.
Exciting news! A Rebel Moon game is currently in development. Brace yourselves for an adventure that promises to take you to the stars and beyond.
