The Rebel Moon universe is expanding beyond the silver screen, as Netflix announced the release of ‘Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game’ during its Geeked Week event. This standalone action game, developed by Super Evil Megacorp, is a top-down action experience similar to Diablo 4, offering a thrilling gameplay experience where players team up to take down hordes of enemies.
‘Blood Line’ is a mobile-exclusive game available only to Netflix subscribers through the streaming service’s app. Players can choose from four unique classes, each with their own distinct abilities, backstories, and motivations:
*
Bannerguard:
The high-damage tank, perfect for those who enjoy leading the charge.*
Evoker:
The healer and support character, vital for keeping the team alive.*
Kindred:
A long-range fighter, ideal for those who prefer to strategize from afar.*
Forsaken:
Embrace chaos with the Forsaken, wielding dual-wielding weapons for devastating damage.Netflix emphasizes that each class has unique backstories and motivations, mirroring the characters seen in the films. ‘Blood Line’ is a live-service game, but instead of relying on microtransactions, it provides free updates in the form of narrative chapters. These updates expand the story, offering a deeper exploration of the Rebel Moon universe while providing new gameplay elements and mechanics to enhance the player’s experience.
Super Evil Megacorp, known for the roguelike game ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate’, partnered with Netflix in 2023 to create a unique ‘transmedia’ experience with ‘Blood Line’. The developer expressed its excitement about building a universe far larger than just a single game, one that will be intertwined with the film franchise.
The announcement of ‘Blood Line’ comes after the first ‘Rebel Moon’ movie garnered mixed critical reception, though it achieved significant viewership numbers on Netflix. Despite the initial reception, Netflix released a sequel, further solidifying their commitment to the franchise. With ‘Blood Line’ now joining the fold, the Rebel Moon universe is set to expand its reach beyond the screen, offering a multifaceted experience for fans of the franchise.
