Moss, Norway – March 14, 2025 – Today, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Templar Media, a newly launched video game publisher and media company, to publish Gate Zero, the highly anticipated action/adventure game that transports players to first-century Roman-era Judea.
Founded by 25-year game industry veteran John Gibson, Templar Media will focus on releasing content that puts Entertainment First! In an entertainment industry that has stumbled in recent years with alienating customers by putting social agendas ahead of entertainment, Templar Media aims to bring entertaining gamers and viewers back into focus. This aligns perfectly with Bible X’s ambition to bring the Bible to life for a new generation of young people. This collaboration will, among other things, bring Gate Zero to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms, making it accessible to gamers worldwide.
THE FUTURE ECHOES IN THE PAST
Gate Zero is a single-player, third-person story-driven adventure game with an innovative open playstyle that empowers gamers to tackle challenges their way. As Max, a young teen from a dystopian future thrust into the ancient past, players utilize their own mix of action, stealth, dialogue, unique tools and abilities to save the future and get back to their own time. Do you lean on your evasion and movement skills to charge the Roman guards who’ve taken an interest in the odd stranger in their midst, or do you use stealth and guile to avoid capture and accomplish your goals? Perhaps you use your charisma and dialogue to befriend the locals and enlist their help? You decide and make your own path!
A LAND ON THE BRINK OF UPHEAVAL
Two historic cultures collide when the storied, ancient Jewish homeland is occupied by the preeminent force of the time – The Roman Empire. Tensions flare as a young rabbi enters an already precarious situation and challenges both forces with his radical new teaching. As Max’s story intersects history, experience firsthand the events of first century Judea with Jesus and his band of followers challenging the authorities and traditions of the time in a first of its kind video game based on historically and Biblically accurate events.
EXPERIENCE THE REVOLUTION WITH YOUR FRIENDS
With Gate Zero’s revolutionary co-play feature players can bring their friends along for the journey right there beside them. More than spectators, your friends can take on challenges and play on their own mobile devices assisting Max, as the “man in the chair,” guiding him live from the future, as he explores ancient Judea and overcomes the obstacles of life in and around first century Jerusalem, and defeats the enemies sent from the future to stop him. Fill a room with your friends and experience gaming together in a completely new way!
A PERFECT PARTNERSHIP
“From our first meeting with John Gibson, he immediately understood how unique the Gate Zero project was and saw the enormous potential and vision of creating the world’s first high-quality video game based on the Bible,” said Arve Solli, Head of Studio at Bible X. “With over two decades of experience in releasing successful titles, he has a trained eye for both quality and fun gameplay, combined with a straightforward and practical approach to making a commercially successful product. We truly look forward to bringing the game through the final stages of production and delivering it to millions of players by partnering with Templar Media.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to re-enter games and entertainment at this critical turning point for the industry,” said Templar Media CEO John Gibson. “For too long entertainment has been dominated by one perspective, with the desires of gamers for creators to focus on the fun and put entertainment first being mostly ignored, and with great projects and talented individuals being pushed to the wayside. That ends now with Templar Media’s ‘Entertainment First!’ philosophy as the company seeks out the most talented creators and developers and funds those projects to successfully bring them to market. Gate Zero is exactly that kind of title, and we couldn’t be more proud to be working with the team to bring this innovative and exciting project to gamers around the world!”
