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 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 an internal source. The complete 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 strategic shift towards narrative-driven games that promote their streaming content, similar to the successful Netflix Stories anthology.
This development is concerning, particularly the cancellation of Tales of the Shire, a title many anticipated given its association with the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. This suggests that non-Netflix-related titles may be vulnerable to future cuts.
While the future of Netflix Games remains uncertain, there are still several high-quality games available on the platform. Consider exploring our ranking of the top 10 best Netflix Games titles before more changes occur.
