Earlier this year, the company hired Mike Verdu, formerly of EA and Oculus, to head up its gaming efforts, and it’s currently testing having games in its mobile app - just today, that test expanded to include Spain and Italy. The acquisition is just the latest part of Netflix’s ongoing push into games. The studio says it will continue to work on Oxenfree II, as well as “cooking up new game worlds.” It felt like both teams came to this conclusion instinctively.”
Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix’s track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. “Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. “Night School wants to stretch our narrative and design aspirations across distinctive, original games with heart,” Night School’s Sean Krankel said in a statement. ( Oxenfree, it should be noted, had strong Stranger Things vibes - and Night School also previously worked on a canceled Stranger Things title.)
Netflix is continuing its push into video games with the acquisition of Night School Studio, the team best-known for 2016’s Oxenfree and 2019’s Afterparty.
