Netflix Games Cancels Five More Upcoming Titles
Following the unexpected cancellation of Don't Starve Together, Netflix Games has announced the cancellation of five additional upcoming titles. These games, including Tales of the Shire and Compass Point: West, have been either indefinitely shelved or will be released on other platforms.
This information comes from What's on Netflix, citing an internal source. The full list of cancelled games includes: Don't Starve Together, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, Rotwood, Tales of the Shire, and Thirsty Suitors.
What's on Netflix also points to a recent Netflix investor call, suggesting a shift in focus towards narrative-driven games that promote their streaming content, similar to the successful Netflix Stories anthology.
This news is disappointing, especially the cancellation of Tales of the Shire, a title many anticipated due to its association with the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. This suggests that only Netflix-branded tie-in games are secure.
While the future of Netflix Games remains uncertain, there are still several high-quality games currently available. Now might be a good time to revisit our ranking of the top 10 best games on Netflix Games before more changes occur.
