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.

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
