FRANKFURT, Germany and LOS ANGELES, July 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Gunzilla Games, a video game developer established to create the next evolution of multiplayer AAA shooters with a strong emphasis on narration, is welcoming Neill Blomkamp, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director and producer as the studio's new Chief Visionary Officer.
Neill Blomkamp joins the company to define the in-game vision of an yet unannounced multiplayer AAA shooter title for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, that Gunzilla is developing in its offices in Frankfurt, Germany (HQ); Los Angeles, USA; and Kyiv, Ukraine.
"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.

"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 Gunzilla Games.
