According to numerous reports, Netflix may soon develop a brand new AAA PC game.
According to Mobilegamer.biz, Netflix has posted over a dozen job openings for its Los Angeles branch of Netflix Games Studio on its website. Netflix is specifically looking for a game director to engage in “a brand-new AAA PC game.”
Netflix posted job openings at its newly announced Southern California games studio for a game director, art director, and technical director. The platform is seeking a “creative leader of one of Netflix’s first generation of internally developed original games” for the post of game director.
AAA projects are prominent games in the video gaming industry with very huge budgets and production teams. The task of creating an environment, characters, and storyline that is deserving of a Netflix movie or TV series will fall to the game director. There aren’t many details available since it is an unreleased project.
The company noted in its job openings, “We’re looking for a creative and highly-skilled Game Director to help us forge the game direction and creative vision on a brand-new AAA PC game. As Game Director, you will be the creative leader of one of Netflix’s first generation of internally developed original games.
You will provide the vision and direction for the game from the concept phase, through production, launch, and live operations. The right candidate will bring industry-leading craft expertise and attention to detail to generate the vision for a game that is high quality, emotionally resonant, iconic, and full of heart.
Creating a great game that players want to come back to repeatedly is our primary goal – you will be able to create, ship, and run a game without any competing design constraints due to monetization. ”
Netflix has been concentrating on expanding its mobile division up until now. The company now has plans to increase its PC gaming presence with fresh acquisitions after recently acquiring Spry Fox, the developer of Cozy Grove. In November of last year, the streaming juggernaut began making its mobile games available to users of Android, iPhone, and iPad.
Currently, the company has 40 distinct games available. There are many spin-off games themed on well-known Netflix series like Stranger Things, as well as card games, original games, and timeless mobile games like running and racing games. Right now, Netflix’s gaming business model is fairly straightforward.
One can download and play every game in the Netflix game library if they have a Netflix subscription. Additionally, the platform was developing features that would enable users to compete with one another in its mobile games and place themselves on gaming scoreboards in August.
The sum of money that Netflix has already committed to supporting AAA PC games is still unclear. However, it takes a lot of time and resources to create AAA games. Crucible, the initial attempt by Amazon, was infamously unsuccessful. Google closed down Stadia Games & Entertainment before the studio had an opportunity to produce an AAA-level game on Stadia.
