As time progresses, it’s up to you to stay up to date on the trends and stay relevant in the biz.

Blockbuster Inc. blends tycoon, management, and sim gameplay, allowing you to manage every aspect of their studio, cast, and scenes. Build and manage your studio from the ground up, managing every aspect of film production. Hire the crew and cast you want based on their individual traits, manage funds in order to keep business booming, and set up each scene of your movies. Get into the editor’s chair, watching back the scenes you’ve set and save or change them to bring your creative vision to cinema life.

Blockbuster Inc.’s free prologue will be available worldwide on Steam starting today, Wednesday, January 31st. Get ready to build your movie studio, hire and discover new movie stars, find the visionary to direct, the producer to fund the picture, writers to bring the story to life, and the staff to run it all as you try to keep up with the evolution of cinema.

Features:

  • Create Your Dream Film Studio: From movie sets to production offices and the surrounding landscape, build the movie studio of your dreams!
