Ubisoft has announced that it's partnered with Netflix to develop a trio of mobile games.
The company says it's working on "a Valiant Hearts sequel, a new roguelite-inspired Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, and an original Assassin's Creed game" as part of this partnership and confirms that Netflix subscribers will be able to play all three games at no additional cost.
Ubisoft says it's also partnered up with Netflix to produce a live-action adaptation set in the Assassin's Creed universe. (The company is finally making an Assassin's Creed game with ninjas, too, but that's separate from its partnership with the video streaming platform.)
Netflix has partnered with mobile developers—and bought three game studios—as part of its push into mobile gaming. But with the exception of Riot Games, none of those companies are as big as Ubisoft, and this partnership shows Netflix's ongoing commitment to the gaming market.
Ubisoft also says it plans to launch a beta of Rainbow Six Mobile on Google Play on Sept. 12; that it will release the now-online Just Dance 2023 Edition on Nov. 12; and that it has new expansions planned for Mario + Rabbids, Brawlhalla, and The Division in the next few months.
About Our Expert
I've been writing about tech, including everything from privacy and security to consumer electronics and startups, since 2011 for a variety of publications.
I have a knack for identifying emerging trends, a fondness of learning new things, and a bunch of opinions. That combination lends itself well to covering security, weird tech, and breaking news; reviewing mice, keyboards, and other hands-on products; and having as much fun as possible in the process.
I do a lot of writing on my MacBook Air, most of my work-related reading on an iPad Pro, and too much email on an iPhone SE (2020) that I hate. Most of my procrastination is done on a custom-built PC that runs Windows 11 in between my attempts to use Linux on the desktop or a Nintendo Switch. But perhaps my favorite piece of technology is my Apple Watch SE, because it helps me track my health and gives me a flashlight on my wrist for those middle-of-the-night trips to other parts of my house. (Ahem.)
