Off The Grid Launches Ambassador Pilot Program

Off The Grid, the cyberpunk battle royale game from Gunzilla Games, has officially launched its Ambassador Pilot Program on September 11, 2025, opening doors for content creators, streamers, writers, and community moderators to directly collaborate with the development team.

Program Benefits and Opportunities

The Ambassador Program offers extensive support for community leaders who want to help grow the Off The Grid ecosystem. Early access to new content and updates gives ambassadors the chance to preview features before public release, allowing them to build momentum and create informed content ahead of major announcements.

Gunzilla Games will actively promote ambassador content across official social media channels, providing valuable exposure and helping grow personal brands within the gaming community. This promotional support extends beyond simple sharing, celebrating individual contributions and amplifying ambassador voices to wider audiences.

Exclusive Access and Events

Ambassadors gain direct access to the development team through private Discord channels and invitations to developer calls, creating unique opportunities for constructive feedback and input on the game's future direction. This level of developer interaction is rarely offered in traditional gaming communities.

The program includes exclusive invitations to official in-person events, allowing ambassadors to meet the team, network with other community leaders, and participate in celebrations of the Off The Grid community. These events serve as both recognition and networking opportunities for dedicated community members.

Community Building Tools

To support community growth efforts, ambassadors receive exclusive giveaway codes, enabling them to run their own contests and reward their followers. This tool helps ambassadors engage their audiences while promoting Off The Grid organically.

Unique in-game items serve as both rewards for ambassador commitment and visible recognition of their contributions to the community. These exclusive cosmetics help identify ambassadors within the game while celebrating their dedication to supporting Off The Grid.

Game Context and Development

Off The Grid, directed by Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium), features a 60-hour narrative campaign set in a cyberpunk dystopia where contestants battle on Teardrop Island using futuristic weapons and cybernetic augmentations. The game supports both PvE and PvP matches with up to 150 players and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Epic Games Store and Steam.

The Ambassador Pilot Program represents Gunzilla Games' commitment to building a passionate community around their innovative battle royale experience, leveraging the most dedicated fans to help shape the game's future while providing meaningful opportunities for content creators and community leaders.
