One notable announcement from Geeked Week was the upcoming mobile game set in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon universe.
Titled Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game, this cooperative action game allows players to choose from different character classes and fight to reclaim their planet from the oppressive Motherworld. Developed by Super Evil Megacorp—known for titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate and Vainglory—this game will be exclusive to Netflix subscribers and is slated for release in 2025.
Netflix also teased an upcoming multiplayer survival game, Squid Game: Unleashed, set to launch later this year, coinciding with the release of the series’ second season.
