Night School Studio, maker of Oxenfree and Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals, has just announced it's joining Netflix. Th꧅e first video game studio to make such an announcement, Night School has basically confirmed earlier reports that Netflix was planning a big push into the video game market.
Reports surfaced over the summer that Netflix was anglin🌠g to start streaming video games via its online platform, but Netflix itself never made any official announcement. Instead, Netflix just s🙈tarted casually testing out its own g𒊎ame streaming in Poland, offering Stranger Things 3: The Game and Stranger Things: 1984 to subscribers (and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pulling thoꦗse games off of Steam an🦋d GOG).
Night School's announcement is the first official confirmation that Netflix plans to start making its own video games.
"Of course, it’s a surreal honor to be the first games studio to join Netflix! Not only do we get to keep doing what we do, how we like to do it, but we get a front-row seat on🎃 the biggestꦍ entertainment platform in the world," , co-founder of Night School Studio.
"Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver exc𓆉ellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix’s track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. It felt like both teams came to this conclusion instinctively."
Despite the acquisition, Krankel promised that development on Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals would continue. The game was originally announced last spring with plans to release next year 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:on PC, Switch, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation, but with Netflix calling the s𒁃hots, it’s possible the streaming giant might releaseܫ Oxenfree 2 as an exclusive title.
We’ll have to wait for Netflix to break its silence on its plans for video game streaming to know one way or the other. In the meantime, the streaming platform is mere months away from bringing us 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Witcher Season 2 and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:live-action Cowboy Bebop series.
