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 a source within the streaming service. The full list of cancelled games 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 in focus towards narrative-driven games, aligning more closely with their successful Netflix Stories anthology. This strategic change appears to be impacting the broader gaming catalog.
The cancellations are a surprising development, especially the removal of Tales of the Shire, a title many anticipated given its association with the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. This suggests that even high-profile games unrelated to Netflix's own IP may be at risk.
