Even though it hasn’t picked up too much steam, Netflix is still investing in its gaming venture. The company is working on its next AAA title, and it brought in a heavy hitter in the video game industry. According to Techradar Netflix brought in Joseph Staten, the head of creative for Halo Infinite, for its next game.
The company has big plans
If the news and rumors hold true, then Netflix has some big projects coming down the road. Last year, we got the news that it entered a partnership with Ubisoft to produce an Assassin’s Creed game that’s planned to launch in the next couple of years.
Aside from that, Netflix could possibly be working on a cloud gaming service. The details on this are quite scarce, as it’s still in the early stages. The company made a job post where it asked for people who were experienced in working on technology that requires low-latency input. You can read more about it here.
Netflix taps Joseph Staten to produce a new game
So, bringing in the head of creative from a game as big as Halo Infinite is no small detail. We can tell that Netflix wants this game to be a big fish. Staten worked on several other games including Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, ReCore, and Crackdown 3. He has a career in video games that go back more than two decades.
As for this game that he and Netflix are brainstorming, we have no idea what it is. This could mean that there’s nothing solid just yet. Maybe this game is still in the planning stage. Maybe the team is gathering concept art for potential characters. This is going to be an original IP, after all. So, it’s not going to be a Netflix Halo game.
So, we don’t know what the game is going to be about or when it’s going to come out. We’ll need to keep an eye out for developments on it.
