Netflix Shuts Down Team Blue AAA Game Studio in California Before Release

Oct 22, 2024, 11:37 AM

Netflix has closed its AAA game studio in Southern California, known as Team Blue, less than two years after its establishment. The studio was intended to develop big-budget titles for multiple devices, including PC shooter games. Team Blue included high-profile industry veterans such as Joseph Staten, former head of creative for Halo Infinite, and executives from Overwatch and God of War. The closure comes amid a broader shake-up in Netflix's gaming division, despite recent positive statements from Netflix management about their gaming ambitions. The studio was working on a multi-platform game for an original IP.
