[Warsaw - March 21, 2024] - The movie management sim inspired by the classic The Movies game, Blockbuster Inc. has announced it will be releasing on June 6, 2024 for Steam. In Blockbuster Inc., players will have to evolve and adapt their filmmaking through multiple decades, to stay up to date with the ever-changing movie and TV industry. Hire the crew from directors to screenplay writers, build state-of-the-art movie sets, and put yourself in the directing chair to bring your stories to life. 
 

Blockbuster Inc. grants you the opportunity to build the studio lot of your dreams! Build a set to bring your own original films to life or even your own version of your favorite movies. Whether you have an idea about a romantic drama featuring Godzilla or a coming-of-age comedic version of Oppenheimer, fully customize your sets to fit whatever the scene needs. In addition to the sets, build everything from offices for the behind-the-scenes crew to a cafeteria to keep everyone fed and happy. The entire lot is yours to sculpt, even the landscaping, so keep your studio up to date and stay on top of the ever-evolving trends in film. 

Become the next Scorsese or Spielberg with the Direct Scene Feature and hop into the director’s chair to create movie masterpieces. Take complete control of every aspect of your movie’s scenes; set lighting and effects, choose cast performances and stunts, and even choose how the camera shoots the scene. Create a library of classics that will lead to your induction into the Filmwood Hall of Fame.

There is no need to wait for the big premiere to get your hands on Blockbuster Inc.! The Prologue demo is available now and allows budding producers to get a feel for running a movie studio and you can take a special look at the game during the Future Game Show on Thursday March 21 at 1 PM PDT/4 PM EDT.
