"The streaming giant bought the company back in 2022 and it has been responsible for games like Squid Game: Unleashed and the interactive narrative Netflix Stories. This is relatively surprising, as Squid Game: Unleashed was something of a hit. It launched alongside season two of the show and has amassed over ten million downloads on the Google Play Store alone, according to reporting by Mobilegamer."
"Boss Fight Entertainment has around 80 staffers. It's unclear if they'll be laid off or shuffled somewhere else within Netflix's gaming division. Engadget has reached out to Netflix and will update this post when we hear back. Several designers at the company have expressed regret that we won't see what it had planned for the future. "It's infuriating that the world will never see some of the stuff that was shuffled away behind the scenes," wrote design director Damion Schubert on LinkedIn."
Netflix is closing Boss Fight Entertainment, a game development studio acquired in 2022. The studio developed Squid Game: Unleashed and the interactive narrative Netflix Stories. Squid Game: Unleashed launched alongside season two and has amassed over ten million Google Play downloads, and received a major software update coinciding with season three. Boss Fight employs around 80 staff. Future roles for those staff are unclear, with unknown layoffs or internal transfers within Netflix's gaming division. Several designers expressed regret that planned projects will not be revealed. This follows Netflix's shutdown of AAA studio Team Blue earlier in the past year.
