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 titles. These cancellations, confirmed by What's on Netflix citing an internal source, represent a significant shift in the platform's gaming strategy.
The cancelled games include Tales of the Shire, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, Rotwood, and Thirsty Suitors. These titles are either indefinitely postponed or will be released on other platforms.
This decision aligns with Netflix's recent investor call, which highlighted a strategic move towards narrative-driven games, particularly those promoting their existing streaming content, similar to their successful Netflix Stories anthology.
This news is disappointing, especially considering the anticipated release of Tales of the Shire, a title many were looking forward to given its association with the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. This suggests that only Netflix-branded games are safe from future cancellations.
While the gaming lineup shrinks, there are still several high-quality games available on Netflix Games. Consider exploring our top 10 best Netflix Games ranking before more titles are removed.
