Netflix’s gaming push is looping in certainly one of its bigger animated properties. The Dragon Prince: Xadia is a brand new action-RPG in growth, arriving subsequent 12 months on cellular by Netflix.

The undertaking seems to be dealt with by Wonderstorm, per the official website, and positively takes after the action-RPG style. Within the reveal trailer, we will see fairly just a few gameplay moments that really feel paying homage to Diablo, Hades, and the like.

Characters look to run round, bash enemies’ heads in, and unleash magic upon the battlefield. Netflix’s teaser describes the sport as a “hack & slash looter ARPG,” and likewise notes you’ll be able to workforce up with pals. Feels very Diablo-y to me.

For the roster, I see just a few anticipated faces, together with leads like Callum and Rayla. I’m admittedly a bit behind on the present, however it’s good to see the breadth of decisions right here. The shield-toting Amaya is a really welcome inclusion, too.

Netflix and video games

The net streaming large Netflix has been steadily making headway within the realm of video games. It has a cellular service which has featured entry to some notable titles, like 2018 gem Spiritfarer.

The corporate’s additionally making its personal massive push into video games, by inside measures and exterior acquisitions of studios like Spry Fox and Oxenfree maker Evening Faculty Studio. Joseph Staten, of Halo/343 fame, was even introduced on as Netflix Video games’ artistic director.

It does look like Netflix continues to be fascinated by video games, each on their very own and as properties for streaming reveals. Whether or not these efforts pan out can be fascinating to see, however I’m grateful Netflix’s recreation service has thus far averted the microtransactions that usually plague cellular choices. This Dragon Prince ARPG on-the-go may very well be one to observe.
