Netflix Games Cancels Five More Upcoming Titles
Following the unexpected cancellation of Don't Starve Together, Netflix Games has announced the shelving of five additional upcoming releases. This includes titles like Tales of the Shire and Compass Point: West, indicating a significant restructuring of their gaming strategy.
According to What's on Netflix, a source within the company confirmed the cancellations. These titles are no longer slated for release on Netflix Games and may be indefinitely postponed or released on other platforms. The full list of cancelled games comprises: Don't Starve Together, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, Rotwood, Tales of the Shire, and Thirsty Suitors.
This move aligns with Netflix's recent investor call, which highlighted a strategic shift towards narrative-driven games, particularly those promoting their existing streaming content, similar to their successful Netflix Stories anthology.
This news comes as a surprise, although a previous prediction suggested Netflix's focus on promotional tie-in games would impact their broader game library. The cancellation of titles like Tales of the Shire, especially given the popularity of the Lord of the Rings franchise, suggests that non-Netflix-related games are vulnerable.
While the future of Netflix Games remains uncertain, there are still many high-quality games available on the platform. Consider exploring our top 10 best Netflix Games ranking before more titles are potentially removed.
