Streaming service giant Netflix is adding two more titles to its growing gaming lineup. On Mar. 22, Netflix added "Shatter Remastered" and "This Is A True Story."
The two new titles are now available for both iOS and Android users. The streaming service also teased its first upcoming first-person shooter game titled "Into the Dead 2: Unleashed."
Netflix Adds Two More Games
The first new Netflix game titled "Shatter Remastered" is a retro-inspired brick-breaking game from PikPok, a New Zealand developer.
The game is the updated version of "Shatter," which is a game developed by New Zealand-based company Sidhe and was originally released on the PlayStation 3 back in 2009, according to TechCrunch.
The refreshed mobile-optimized version of the game includes global leaderboards so that players can easily track their high scores against other players around the world.
The second Netflix game is titled "This Is A True Story," which is a game that is designed to raise awareness about the lack of safe drinking water in some countries, according to Android Police.
The game was developed by the company Frosty Pop in collaboration with Charity: Water, a nonprofit organization that is working to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in countries that struggle to get them.
The game features a true story of a sub-Saharan African woman's daily struggle to get water for her family. It is based on actual interviews and experiences, and it also allows players to explore a hand-painted landscape while catching poachers, surviving a windstorm, and befriending a goat.
Netflix's First-Person Shooter Game
As for Netflix's first upcoming first-person shooter game, "Into the Dead 2: Unleashed," the streaming service has not specified when the game will launch, but it did note that the release is coming soon, according to Venture Beat.
Just like "Shatter Remastered," the game was developed by PikPok. The game serves as a sequel to the zombie action game titled "Into the Dead."
In the game, the players must fend off zombie threats while crossing borders and getting through obstacles. The game features several chapters, stages, and challenges where players can unlock weapons, explosives, firearms, and more.
Just like other games on Netflix, users are directed to the new titles through the service's apps on iOS and Android. For Android users, they can find games in multiple places, including a dedicated gaming tab in the app's main navigation.
For iOS users, games are featured in a dedicated row. The games themselves are hosted on the respective app stores on the platform, not on Netflix's infrastructure, but they can only be played by Netflix users.
After installation, the games will prompt users to authenticate with their personal Netflix account information to get started.
The streaming service has been building out its gaming service since 2021 when Netflix debuted its initial lineup that included a couple of "Stranger Things" games and other casual titles.
Since then, Netflix has launched several other games like "Asphalt Xtreme," "Arcanium: Rise of Akhan," "Bowling Ballers," "Dominoes Café, " "Card Blast," "Dungeon Dwarves," "Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story," "Krispee Street," "Knittens," "Teeter (Up)" "Shooting Hoops," and "Wonderputt Forever."
In 2021, it was reported that Netflix and Sony could potentially partner up to release more games this year.
