DON’T NOD announces deal with Netflix for “a new narrative video game based on a major IP”

Ever since they broke away from the Life is Strange franchise, developer DON’T NOD has struggled somewhat to find its new identity. Following the release of a variety of different games, the studio has shared their latest financials to mixed results – though a Netflix deal is in the works.

Publishing a press release detailing their H1 2025 financial results, studio DON’T NOD revealed that sales performance for their latest choice-based narrative adventure title ‘Lost Records: Bloom & Rage’ “remained below expectations.”

In some potentially positive news, the studio also announced that they have penned a deal with Netflix to develop a game, writing: “DON'T NOD announces the signing of a development agreement with Netflix for the creation of a new narrative video game based on a major IP. Through this agreement, DON'T NOD will develop a new narrative experience that builds on the studio's recognized expertise in the genre.”

No further details were provided, and so it is unknown whether this will be a mobile exclusive experience, or if Netflix is getting into the major leagues of video game publishing.

We will have to wait and see what this major IP will be and whether the game will come to consoles/PC, but hopefully regardless DON’T NOD manages to get another success under their belt.
