Netflix ditches five other upcoming releases alongside Don\'t Starve Together
Netflix Games Cancels Five Upcoming Titles
Following the unexpected cancellation of Don't Starve Together, Netflix Games has announced the cancellation of five more upcoming titles. These games, including Tales of the Shire and Compass Point: West, are either indefinitely shelved or will be released on other platforms.
This news comes from What's on Netflix, citing a source within the streaming service. The cancellations are part of a larger restructuring of Netflix Games' lineup. The full list of cancelled titles 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 towards narrative-driven games, aligning more closely with their successful Netflix Stories anthology. This strategic move seems to prioritize titles that directly promote their streaming content.
The cancellation of these games, particularly the anticipated Tales of the Shire, is a surprise. While a shift towards Netflix-branded content was predicted, the speed of these cancellations is unexpected. This suggests that games unrelated to Netflix's own properties may be at risk.
Despite these cancellations, Netflix Games still boasts a strong catalog of titles. Now might be a good time to explore our ranking of the top 10 best games currently available on the service.
