Original story:
Off The Grid was announced earlier this year, the first product of District 9 director Neill Blomkamp’s partnership with Gunzilla Games. A new video released tonight offers a longer look at its setting, in the form of a Blomkamp directed in-engine cinematic, while also giving a sense of how the cyberpunk battle royale might feel to play. Watch it below.

Off The Grid is a set on an island called Teardrop, somewhere in the Pacific ocean, where a space elevator has been built which gives humanity access to resources with which we’ve created advanced AI and robotic implants. Blomkamp isn’t the only recognisable name attached; writer Richard K. Morgan, author of Altered Carbon andCrysis, is also involved. A Pacific island with cybernetic implants does sound a bit Crysis-y.
The game, when it arrives, will have both singleplayer and multiplayer modes, with both taking place on the same map. The multiplayer is, as noted, a battle royale mode, with up to 150 players fighting together. Gunzilla say the game will launch in 2023, alongside a few other detailson its official site.
While this is the most direct involvement Blomkamp has had with a game - he’s"Chief Visionary Officer" at Gunzilla- it’s not the first game-thing he’s done. He was long ago attached to direct a Halo movie, for example, and he’s directedtrailers for games like Anthem.
