Netflix is continuing its expansion into gaming by opening a new development studio in Southern California.
According to TechCrunch, Netflix’s VP of gaming, Mike Verdu, said this new studio will include former Blizzard vice president and Overwatch boss Chako Sonny at the helm.
“He could have done anything, but he chose to come here,” said Verdu. “You don’t get people like that coming to your organization to build the next big thing in gaming unless there’s a sense that we’re really in it for the long haul and in it for the right reasons.”
The online streaming giant is looking to increase its foothold in gaming, and might even look to create its own cloud gaming service.
While Netflix has been experimenting with gaming for some time, it seems that less than one percent of Netflix subscribers actually play their games.
There are currently 35 games available to download via Netflix, with another 55 currently on their way, including those based on original IPs such as Stranger Things, as well as licensed games, such as Spongebob Squarepants. What game Netflix’s new studio will produce first remains to be seen.
