Netflix External Games Division Divulges its Entertainment Library Expansion Plans, Monument Valley 1 & 2 Due in 2024
It's been a little more than a year since we launched games on Netflix to bring even more entertainment to our members as part of their Netflix subscription. In this short time, we've released 55 games, with about 40 more slated for later this year and 70 in development with our partners. That's in addition to the 16 games currently being developed by our in-house game studios. Our goal is to develop a broad portfolio of games - in different genres and formats - because we believe everyone can find joy in games if they discover the one (or many!) that is right for them.
This year we're going to continue building our portfolio - and that means new games every month. Members will discover indie darlings, award-winning hits, RPGs, narrative adventures, puzzle games and everything in between, and we're working with the world's leading studios to bring you these games.The opportunity to expand the worlds of Netflix films and series through games is incredibly exciting to us. One of our most-played games to date, Too Hot to Handle: Love is a Game, is based on our wildly popular unscripted dating show, Too Hot to Handle. We saw our community flock to the title when it was released alongside Season 4 of the series and stay engaged through the weekly drops of in-game episodes. We are excited to partner with Nanobit again to release a new Too Hot to Handle game later this year.
In January, we debuted Valiant Hearts: Coming Home, the first of three exclusive games from Ubisoft coming to Netflix. Next up from Ubisoft on April 18 is Mighty Quest: Rogue Palace, a rogue-lite game set in the wacky universe some may remember from The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. Featuring an improved formula, deepened narrative and upgraded frantic action gameplay, it's easy to jump into and endlessly replayable.
Next year, ustwo's brilliant and beautiful Monument Valley franchise is coming to Netflix, starting with Monument Valley 1 and Monument Valley 2, with more to come. These award-winning, emotional tales are visually stunning and mind-bending, and we can't wait for our members to experience them on Netflix.
And while it's still very early in development, I'm excited to share that Super Evil Megacorp (Vainglory, Catalyst Black) is working with us on an exclusive game based on an upcoming Netflix release. We can't wait to share more later this year.
For games you can play now or in the very near future, check out these titles new to Netflix in March:
Highwater (now available)
It's the end of the world. The ultra-rich might be headed to Mars. Explore a flooded planet, discover islands and find allies - can you escape in time? Amid a great climate catastrophe, the flooded region of Hightower has become a kind of safe zone between the two dry regions: the nearly entirely ravaged land of the War Zone and the fortified city of Alphaville, where the obscenely wealthy live behind giant walls. Rumors that the rich are escaping to Mars abound. Travel to an underwater world by boat as a humble survivor - pick up friends, battle insurgents and steal food - all while fighting to find out if the rumors are true. Can you make it onto the rocket in this atmospheric, story-driven adventure? Available exclusively on Netflix.
Terra Nil (available March 28)
In this tranquil, reverse city-builder, you'll transform a lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Plant sprawling forests, purify soil and clean polluted oceans to turn a ravaged environment into an ecological paradise. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland and the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. Featuring procedurally generated landscapes, no two play-throughs of Terra Nil will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands and oceans. Experience tranquility in lush, hand-painted environments with relaxing music and an atmospheric ambient soundscape that makes this game a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored. Available exclusively for mobile on Netflix.
