Life is Strange developer Don’t Nod is making a narrative game for Netflix

Don’t Nod has a long history of making memorable narrative games, and it looks like the studio’s next project will come from Netflix programming. In the company’s half-year financial report, Don’t Nod noted that it has signed “a development agreement with Netflix for the creation of a new narrative video game based on a major IP.” Its Montreal studio is helming the project, while Netflix will publish the game. There are no other details available about the project, including what show or movie it will be based on, so place your guesses now.

Netflix’s game strategy took some hits over the past year with the closure of its Team Blue studio for AAA game development and walking back plans to add six titles to its lineup. Leadership for games at Netflix also changed at the start of 2025, and since then the strategy has pivoted towards party games and kid-friendly content, mainstream titles and narrative experiences.

There are some notable titles in the Netflix library such as Kentucky Route Zero and Oxenfree that seem like a good match for Don’t Nod’s niche. After arriving on the gaming scene with Life is Strange, Don’t Nod continued its work with projects including Life is Strange 2, Tell Me Why and Lost Records, in addition to several more stories under the Life is Strange banner.
