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 anticipated releases like Tales of the Shire and Compass Point: West, are 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.
This move aligns with Netflix's recent investor call, which highlighted a strategic shift towards narrative-driven games that promote their streaming content, similar to their successful Netflix Stories anthology.
This news is disappointing, particularly the cancellation of Tales of the Shire, a title many were anticipating given the popularity of the Lord of the Rings franchise. This suggests that only Netflix-branded games are secure.
While this is a setback, there are still many excellent games available on Netflix Games. Consider checking out our ranking of the top 10 best Netflix Games titles before they might also be removed.
