Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, stating they are exploring other distribution options. The game will remain available on Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
While disappointing for Netflix subscribers who accessed the game through the service, Yacht Club Games' statement offers a glimmer of hope. They are actively investigating alternative avenues for distribution, suggesting a potential standalone mobile release may be in the works. However, a swift release shouldn't be expected.
Farewell, for now... The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced ownership compared to traditional digital purchases. Players become reliant on developers to ensure future accessibility.
Yacht Club Games likely has several options, assuming no contractual restrictions prevent a re-release. A return in 2025 is possible, but confirmation is pending.
In the interim, numerous other gaming choices exist. Check out our latest top five new mobile games list for fresh alternatives!
