Netflix VP of games, Mike Verdu, discussed the continued collaboration betweenUbisoftand Netflix, which will bring three new games to the streaming platform. The announced games are sequels toValiant HeartsandMighty Quest for Epic Loot, as well as anotherAssassin’s Creedtitle.
Netflix started offering mobile games for streaming customers in November of last year with the introduction of five games. The initial launch titles included twoStranger Thingsgames, which are based on the popular Netflix Original by the same name. Netflix hasn’t managed to make a splash on the game market yet, but it certainly is not stopping anytime soon. Ubisoft has been a close partner with Netflix during its journey into games, which includes releasingStranger ThingsDLC onFar Cry.

Valiant Hearts 2is the successor to Ubisoft’sValiant Hearts: The Great War, an adventure game inspired by LucasArts. According to Netflix, it is being developed by the team that was behind the original, which wasone of the best World War 1 games. It’s unclear whether the sequel is going to be set in World War 1 or proceed to a World War 2 theme. Netflix didn’t reveal much about the successor to the action-adventure - or as Netflix likes to call it, roguelite-inspired hack-and-slash adventure -Mighty Quest for Epic Loot.
Lastly, the third game, and arguably the most interesting of the three, is going to be a newAssassin’s Creedtitle. The game doesn’t have a title yet and much of it is still under wraps, but what fans know is that it will coincide with the launch of theupcomingAssassin’s CreedNetflix live-action TV series- though neither have a release date yet. All the games will be found via theNetflixapp, which now has its own Games tab and can be downloaded via the App Store or Google Play.
