Netflix Partners with Life is Strange Studio for a New Game, And Fans Think They Know What It Is

For years, Netflix has been a leading streaming service for movies and TV shows. More recently, they’ve been expanding into gaming with Netflix Games, offering subscribers free mobile games as part of their subscription. This includes games based on popular Netflix shows like Squid Game: Unleashed and Stranger Things: 1984. Now, Netflix is taking another step forward by partnering with Don’t Nod to create a game based on one of their original stories.

Don’t Nod, the game studio behind popular story-driven titles like Life is Strange and Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, is teaming up with Netflix to create a new game. This news comes from a recent financial report where Don’t Nod mentioned working on a narrative game based on a well-known Netflix property. While details are scarce, fans are already speculating about which Netflix series or film will inspire the game.

Fan Theories Point to New Stranger Things Game from Don’t Nod and Netflix

Netflix has been experimenting with mobile games based on its popular shows and movies, but these haven’t been very successful. Recently, Netflix closed down Boss Fight Entertainment, the studio behind games like Squid Game: Unleashed. Now, it seems Netflix is considering letting other developers create games based on its popular titles for consoles and other platforms, instead of keeping them exclusive to mobile devices.

Netflix now owns the rights to a lot of popular stories and characters, giving them many possibilities for a new game developed with Don’t Nod. For example, the hit movie K-Pop Demon Hunters and the Bridgerton series are both Netflix originals. However, despite all these options, fans have started to believe they know what this new game will be based on.

One Reddit user asked if the new game was a combination of Life is Strange and Stranger Things after the announcement. This idea quickly gained popularity among fans, who playfully started calling the project Life is Stranger Things. Currently, all that’s confirmed is that the game will prioritize storytelling and be based on a well-known franchise – a “major IP,” as Netflix and Don’t Nod put it. While it could be anything, the Stranger Things connection seems like a strong possibility.

A quick trip to the store reveals just how heavily Netflix is promoting its hit series right now. They’ve released products like Demogorgon Crunch cereal and special Stranger Things Chips Ahoy cookies – it’s hard to do your grocery shopping without seeing them! Recently, Netflix also teamed up with Wizards of the Coast for a Stranger Thingsthemed Dungeons & Dragons* adventure kit. It’s clear Netflix is fully invested in the show, so it would make sense for them to partner with a game studio like Don’t Nod to create a major licensed game. However, we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Netflix and Don’t Nod to know for sure.
