Neill Blomkamp has flitted around the periphery of the gaming world for a few years now. Even before he made his first, and best, movie District 9, he was working on a Halo film. He recently filmed a trailer for Anthem, too. But now he’s really getting into games. He’s joined Gunzilla Games as their “chief visionary officer”, and their debut first game will be an online shooter. There’s nothing else we know about the game right now, but least we know the trailer will be a banger.

He’s already aware that making a game requires a different skillset from directing a movie. Asper IGN:
The game won’t have any connection to his existing work, but you can really see where his “vision” lies in almost everything he’s made. Robots, humans, aliens, all together. His world-building is usually top-notch. He’s very good at seamlessly blending people and CGI together, so I feel rather bad for the artists working under him. They’re going to hear the phrase “When I worked on Chappie…” so many times.
It’ll be years before we know what they’re working on, but his movie studio regularly releases interesting short movies that areworth watching.
