Netflix’s ongoing grasp for a chunk of the video game pie continues with the streaming service’s announcement it has now snapped up Spry Fox, the studio behind the likes of Triple Town, Alphabear, and last year’s Cozy Grove.
Netflix shared the news – which comes just shy of a year since the streaming service took its first tentative steps into gaming – on its website, saying Spry Fox’s focus on “cosy, original” games would help it “accelerate our creative development in another beloved genre and add to the growing variety of Netflix’s games catalogue that will have something for everyone.”
It’s unclear what today’s news means for Spry Fox’s previously announced publishing partnership with Epic Games, which was intended to result in a “multiplatform nonviolent persistent” MMO “designed to encourage friendship and reduce loneliness in the world”.
