Netflix removes *Scriptic: Crime Stories*, a detective game using phone interactions, and *Reigns: Three Kingdoms*, a strategy title based on classical Chinese history. Both games had distinct player engagement through narrative and tactical gameplay. The titles will no longer be available on the Netflix Games platform.
Actor Ralph Ineson joins Scriptic’s upcoming thriller video game, following roles in *Fantastic Four: First Steps* and *Nosferatu*. The BAFTA-nominated studio reveals initial details of the project, marking Ineson’s first foray into interactive entertainment. Scriptic continues expanding its roster of high-profile talent for narrative-driven gaming experiences.
Netflix releases its most-downloaded games as part of its expanding interactive entertainment strategy. The platform has quietly grown its gaming library over the past three years, targeting niche audiences with experimental titles. Early data suggests user engagement varies significantly across different genres and regions.
Scriptic secures $6.2 million in its second seed funding round, with participation from Sony Investment Fund, Sony’s subsidiary. The London-based studio expands its financial backing to support development efforts. This follows earlier seed investments as the company scales operations.
