Rotwood is in early access on Steam, and Tales of the Shire is set to release in March on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.This comes after Netflix's co-CEO Greg Peters said in Netflix's fourth quarter earnings call for 2024 that the company is continuing to adjust its games strategy."We're going to be focusing on more narrative games based on Netflix IP," Peters said. "We want to do more recognizable, mainstream titles, whether that is licensed titles, like GTA as well as home-grown titles based on our IP."Netflix has released a number of narrative games based on some of its popular shows, like Emily in Paris and Too Hot to Handle. And the company announced on Jan. 30 that its narrative games based on Outer Banks and Love is Blind will be getting new stories this year.While the company wants to create more games based on Netflix shows, the company removed the game based on the Netflix series Vikings: Valhalla from its service in 2024. The game, also titled Vikings: Valhalla, wasn't a narrative-based game like others, but was an Age of Empires-like strategy game.For more on Netflix Games, here are other games you can play through the service.
