Netflix, the world’s largest cinema and series platform, has recently entered the game industry by taking a big step. Rumors have emerged that the platform, which has been around for a while with its mobile games, could release an AAA game in the past months. A recent job posting also supported these claims.
Now, there has been a very important development in this regard. Netflix has agreed with one of the most important names in the gaming world for the new AAA game.
Halo developer Joseph Staten joins the company for Netflix’s new game
Joseph Staten, who played an important role in the development of Halo, one of the first series that comes to mind when it comes to video games, joined Netflix as a “creative director”. Staten announced this news in a post on his Twitter account yesterday.
Staten, who left 343 Industries, the developer of Halo, two weeks ago, stated in his statements that he joined Netflix to develop a brand new AAA game that will come to different platforms. Staten also added: “There is nothing I love more in my work life than collaborating with others to build worlds filled with iconic characters, deep mysteries and endless adventures.”
This move by Netflix comes after concentrating on its moves in the playground. In fact, the platform stated that it was working on a cloud gaming service last month. There is currently no information about the company’s AAA game; however, the recruitment of Staten, who has a name in the game world, shows that a successful game can come. We will see what kind of production we will encounter in the coming years.
