Netflix has acquired Night School Studio, the indie developer behind the cult hit Oxenfree and its upcoming sequel, as the streaming giant makes its first meaningful steps into the games industry.
As per a post on the Night School Studio blog, the developer is pleased with the acquisition, and believes it’ll help it further its goal of explorating interactive narrative projects.
“Night School wants to stretch our narrative and design aspirations across distinctive, original games with heart,” reads the blog. “Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix’s track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. It felt like both teams came to this conclusion instinctively.”
