Netflix is getting one of the best roguelites around and more next year

Netflix continues its attempt to be the Netflix of games.

Hades , one of the best games from 2020, will be joining Netflix’s lineup of mobile games next year, alongside a number of other titles.

Hades isn’t the only game joining Netflix next year either. Death’s Door, a tough-as-nails action game that isn’t quite a Soulslike but certainly does have similarities to the genre’s combat, is also coming to Netflix. Again, this one feels like a great fit for Netflix, I could easily see a show about a crow reaper going around collecting souls. There’s also Katana Zero, a neo-noir action-platformer with “instant-death combat,” and some stylish pixel art.

These announcements have also led me to discover that Chicken Run is getting a video game, Chicken Run: Eggstraction, a stealth action game set after the first film, and it’ll apparently be a Netflix exclusive when it releases next year. Netflix also announced a trio of adaptations of a selection of its shows, Money Heist, a Spanish heist thriller, and Shadow and Bone: Enter the Fold, a roleplaying game set between the events of the first and second season, the latter of which you can play now. The Dragon Prince: Xadia is the last of the three, offering some co-op action reminiscent of Diablo. And lastly, the Anniversary Edition of one of the games that started the indie boom, Braid , will be coming to Netflix too.

Earlier this week, Crunchyroll announced it would be following in Netflix’s footsteps , as it is now offering games alongside anime too.
