Netflix announced the news in a statement
from Amir Rahimi, the company’s vice president of game studios.
“Since we launched mobile games to our
members around the world just four months ago, we’ve been expanding our games
catalogue bit by bit as we build out our in-house creative development team. So
today, we’re excited to announce that Boss Fight Entertainment is joining
Netflix.”
“This studio’s extensive experience
building hit games across genres will help accelerate our ability to provide
Netflix members with great games wherever they want to play them,” Rahimi
continued. The studio is known for mobile title Dungeon Boss.
Boss Fight Entertainment was founded in
2013 by David Rippy, Bill Jackson, and Scott Winsett. The founders stated,
“Boss Fight’s mission is to bring simple, beautiful, and fun game experiences
to our players wherever they want to play.”
They continued, “Netflix’s commitment to
offer ad-free games as part of members’ subscriptions enables game developers
like us to focus on creating delightful game play without worrying about
monetisation. We couldn’t be more excited to join Netflix at this early stage
as we continue doing what we love to do while helping to shape the future of
games on Netflix together.”
In September 2021, Netflix announced that
it was purchasing Oxenfree developer Night School Studios. “We’re inspired by
their bold mission to set a new bar for storytelling in games,” Netflix said at
the time.
The following month, Netflix reassured
investors that it would not be rushing to acquire game studios but wouldn’t
turn down a good opportunity.
The streaming service then partnered with
games agency RocketRide Games to help expand its library of titles.
