Netflix has seen its first-ever subscriber losses in current quarters, and that has led the streaming powerhouse to spin up a lot of new initiatives. Some, like creating an ad-supported tier, will not do something to make present subscribers happier, however perhaps some free video games would assist? Netflix is increasing its lineup of cellular video games with a brand new Ubisoft partnership. Underneath the association, Ubisoft will make three video games for Netflix, together with an Murderer’s Creed title.
Ubisoft has already partnered with Netflix to make an Murderer’s Creed collection, however the announcement didn’t specify if the brand new sport shall be primarily based on that content material. Earlier than we see the Murderer’s Creed sport, there are two extra titles arriving as a part of the deal. The primary shall be Valiant Hearts 2 in January 2023. That is, clearly, a sequel to the unique Valiant Hearts. Like the primary installment, it is a cinematic puzzle sport set in World Conflict 1. The second product of the deal would be the “roguelite” hack-and-slash Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, which is able to arrive later in 2023.
The truth that now we have 2023 dates for these video games and nothing particular for Murderer’s Creed suggests it won’t launch till 2024. So, it will appear Netflix is planning to maintain the bundled sport initiative going at the least that lengthy. Earlier reviews have claimed that lower than 1 % of Netflix’s subscribers are making the most of the free cellular video games. The lineup at present features a few Stranger Issues titles, a racing sport from the Asphalt franchise, the Exploding Kittens card sport, and extra.
Netflix subscribers need not pay something additional to get these video games—you merely obtain them from the App Retailer or Google Play Retailer in your cellular system and confirm your Netflix account. There shall be no in-app purchases both, which is refreshing. That alone might make the Murderer’s Creed sport a bit extra attention-grabbing. Ubisoft is extra addicted than most publishers to microtransactions in its video games. A premium AC expertise with none of that may very well be interesting, even when it is on a smartphone.
Along with increasing its sport choices, Netflix is planning the aforementioned ad-supported tier. This plan shall be cheaper than the bottom plan, nevertheless it most likely will not embrace all of Netflix’s content material. Entry to the sport library is unknown, however it will not be shocking to see these restricted to the dearer subscriptions.
