Earlier this week, director Zack Snyder teased fans of his upcoming Netflix movie with news of a seemingly ambitious new project — a roleplaying game that could take place in the same universe.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Snyder discussed how he is developing a massive roleplaying game (RPG) that could provide fans with a deeper story from the movie.
“We’ve been talking about doing some sort of a massive world-building, RPG kind of experience in the subject of the movie and, you know, with the history that we can build and the characters,” Snyder said. He also revealed that the RPG would have an epic scope that would be “beyond [what] you can imagine” as it would take place in the film’s universe.
He insisted that instead of a typical multiplayer experience, this RPG would be designed somewhat differently. “It’s a way to kind of expand the world in a really cool way, you know, and as a giant, huge, epic RPG, which, you know, I’m kind of excited about,” Snyder added
This would be Snyder’s first experience developing a roleplaying game in a movie universe — it’s unclear what specific effect the RPG would have on the film, but it could allow players to have an ever-evolving game-play in the same universe.
The details of the game are rather murky right now, but this tease has certainly caught the attention of many fans who are already WOWed at the “ridiculous scale” that this game.
Regardless, it looks like the project is still in its relative infancy, as Snyder and his team are still in the early stages of development. But it’s certainly an ambitious project that could give fans an interactive way to explore the world that the film will introduce.
