"Netflix Stories Cancelled, Yet Still Playable!"
Netflix has announced the closure of its interactive fiction games under the Netflix Stories banner, marking the end of a brief but intriguing foray into narrative gaming. Despite boasting a robust player base, the decision to cancel the series has left many wondering about the reasons behind this move. Let's dive into the details to understand the full story.
The news, initially reported by Variety, aligns with a larger strategic pivot at Netflix Games. Moving forward, the focus will shift towards mobile titles encompassing party games, children's games, mainstream releases, and more interactive experiences designed for TV play.
Boss Fight Entertainment, the creative force behind the Netflix Stories series, will continue their collaboration with Netflix on other projects, notably including the highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed.
Netflix Stories Cancellation: Is It Shutting Down?
Despite facing some criticism, the Netflix Stories games have consistently secured a spot among the most-played titles on the Netflix Games platform. Recent data places it fourth in the Netflix Games top 10 carousel, which prioritizes playtime over mere downloads.
Looking ahead, the final interactive title under the Netflix Stories banner will be Love Is Blind: NYC. After its rollout, no new games will be developed in this series. This decision comes on the heels of the Netflix Stories app teasing its next release, The Love Contract, which was slated for an April 8th debut. Unlike its predecessors, this game was not tied to any existing Netflix IP but was an original romance narrative involving an actress navigating a complex relationship between a Hollywood star and a billionaire amidst fame, scandal, and fake dating. Unfortunately, The Love Contract has now been canceled.
While no new titles will be added to the Netflix Stories lineup, fans can still enjoy the existing games. Titles such as Love Is Blind, Emily in Paris, Money Heist, Love Is Blind: Winter’s Kiss, Perfect Match, Sex Education, Selling Sunset, Sweet Magnolias, Virgin River, and The Perfect Couple remain available for play. However, anticipated sequels like those for Outer Banks and Ginny & Georgia have been axed.
So, there you have it—the complete story on the cancellation of Netflix Stories! If you're a fan of Netflix shows and want to experience their interactive side, you can still find these games on the Google Play Store.
