Neill Blomkamp joins the company to define the in-game vision of an yet

unannounced multiplayer AAA shooter title for PlayStation(R)5, Xbox Series X|S

"Gunzilla has a strong vision that clearly stands out. With a team of

incredible talents and long-time industry veterans, it is creating a new,

exciting multiplayer AAA shooter game that pushes the boundaries of gameplay,

player freedom, customization options as well as narrative experience within

the shooter genre. My own big screen film experience will hopefully help shape

new ways of interactive storytelling and next-generation visuals. And by making

best use of everything today's video game development technologies have on

offer we will jointly create an immersive experience like we've never seen

before," states Neill Blomkamp.

"As Chief Visionary Officer, Neill will be a key member of our team. Adding the

perspective of filmmaking to video game development brings interactive

entertainment to the next level. We all share the same vision, and Neill is the

perfect completion to the narrative and visual art lead roles in our team. We

are extremely proud that he is joining us - while we are creating our own

universe, some of our inspiration originates in his works. We always hoped we

can add a bit of his magic to our game - now this is happening. The team have

been working hard on pre-production over the past year - having Neill joining

us at this stage is bringing us closer to fulfilling our mission of delivering

the next evolution of shooter games," adds Vlad Korolev, CEO and co-founder of
