Netflix Axes Five Upcoming Titles, Including 'Don't Starve Together'

Netflix Games Cancels Five More Upcoming Titles

Following the unexpected cancellation of Don't Starve Together, Netflix Games has announced the cancellation of five additional upcoming titles. These include anticipated releases like Tales of the Shire and Compass Point: West. The games are either indefinitely shelved or will launch on other platforms.

This information comes from What's on Netflix, citing an internal source. The full list of cancelled games is: Don't Starve Together, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, Rotwood, Tales of the Shire, and Thirsty Suitors.

This move aligns with Netflix's recent investor call, which highlighted a shift towards narrative-driven games, particularly those promoting their existing streaming content, such as their successful Netflix Stories anthology.

This news is disappointing, especially the cancellation of Tales of the Shire, which many anticipated due to its association with the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. This suggests that non-Netflix-branded games are at risk.

While the future of Netflix Games remains uncertain, there are still many excellent titles currently available. Consider checking out our ranking of the top 10 best Netflix Games before more titles are potentially removed.
