Netflix is hiring for a ‘brand-new AAA PC game’

View Original View Raw

Summary

Netflix is hiring for a new AAA PC game, which is something very different from the company's current efforts in mobile gaming. The listings for the game director, art director, and technical director positions mention that it is an unannounced project and that Netflix is looking for a "creative leader of one of Netflix's first generation of internally developed original games." This suggests that the company is looking to expand its gaming offerings beyond mobile games, which is in line with recent comments from Netflix's VP of games, Mike Verdu. It remains to be seen what this new AAA PC game will be, but it could be a sign of things to come from Netflix in the gaming space.
