"Don't Nod has a long history of making memorable narrative games, and it looks like the studio's next project will come from Netflix programming. In the company's half-year financial report, Don't Nod noted that it has signed "a development agreement with Netflix for the creation of a new narrative video game based on a major IP." Its Montreal studio is helming the project, while Netflix will publish the game."
"Netflix's game strategy took some hits over the past year with the closure of its Team Blue studio for AAA game development and walking back plans to add six titles to its lineup. Leadership for games at Netflix also changed at the start of 2025, and since then the strategy has pivoted towards party games and kid-friendly content, mainstream titles and narrative experiences."
Don't Nod has signed a development agreement with Netflix to create a new narrative video game based on a major Netflix intellectual property. The Montreal studio will handle development while Netflix will publish the title. No further details about the source show or movie have been disclosed. Netflix recently closed its Team Blue AAA studio and reduced planned titles, and leadership changes in 2025 prompted a strategic pivot toward party games, kid-friendly content, mainstream titles, and narrative experiences. Netflix-owned games like Kentucky Route Zero and Oxenfree appear as potential matches for Don't Nod's expertise. Don't Nod's portfolio includes Life is Strange, Life is Strange 2, and Lost Records.
