Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed puzzle series, will donate 3% of its profits over the next three years to charity. This initiative supports the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund.
This commitment aligns with ustwo's status as a B-corp game studio, signifying a dedication to social and environmental responsibility. Given Monument Valley 3's wide reach on Netflix Games, this charitable contribution could be substantial.
Ustwo's commitment to social and environmental causes is not new. Previous titles like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure have incorporated these themes, and Desta: The Memories Between saw collaborations with UK youth charities.
A Charitable Contribution
Monument Valley 3's positive reception, including a five-star review from this publication, makes this donation even more noteworthy. The long-term impact remains to be seen, especially considering its availability on Netflix Games, a platform without in-app purchases or fees.
However, this implies a direct contribution from ustwo, a commendable act of corporate philanthropy. This support, coupled with the company's public fundraising efforts for the IFRC and other organizations, will undoubtedly provide crucial assistance.
