Netflix is hosting a game tournament for The old guard fans, and the winner won’t have to pay a subscription for the rest of his life. To celebrate the launch and promote the Charlize Theron movie, the streaming giant is hosting a game competition featuring an original. The old guard video game from July 17 to 19. Those interested in earning an “immortal” subscription will have to beat everyone else and be # 1 by the end of the event this weekend.
Okay, so the subscription won’t actually last forever, but it will be valid for 1,000 months or 83 years; if civilization has not yet collapsed, Netflix may not exist by then. Netflix says fans can expect to play a “browser-based top-down video game” that reflects the events of the film, which is based on a graphic novel by Greg Rucka. Competitors will play as Andromache of Scythia, the character of Theron, who is the oldest immortal of his crew. They will also wield Andromache’s favorite weapon: a double-bladed ax called Labrys.
