Every video game show from Netflix’s Geeked Week streamA stream with big ‘internal company newsletter’ energy
A stream with big ‘internal company newsletter’ energy
It was a strange stream. You would expect the company behind all these shows to know what was going on and be able to give information or show something or… anything. I know Netflix face the risk of subscribers losing interest and cancelling, especially during the lull after many productions were halted during the pandemic, so maybe they wanted to just throw announcements out there. But then they didn’t mention several other series they’re doing nor theirrumoured plans to make games, so I have no idea what the threshold for notability is. The presenters brought good energy (Rahul Kohli is great!) but the material Netflix gave them was essentially an internal company newsletter. Weird. Let’s crack on.
Arcane
I do not like League Of Legends but ooh I do like the style of this animated series in a new two-minute clip. I was not expecting this from a game as ugly as League. The series hits Netflix in autumn.

The Cuphead Show
It is still weird to me that a game based on old cartoons is spawning a cartoon itself, but here we are. Netflix announced that Wayne Brady (off Whose Line Is It Anyway?) will voice the dastardly King Dice, and showed a wee video:

Castlevania
While Trevor Belmont’s monster-hunting adventures recently ended with season four, Netflix have more Castlevania coming. They announced an “all-new” spin-off series set in France in 1792, during the French Revolution. It focuses on Richter Belmont, a descendent of of Trevor and Sypha, as well as Maria Renard.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell

Far Cry “anime”
No really, this is all.
Smite’s Stranger Things skins
The MOBA is adding several skins based on Stranger Things characters (having previouslydone this with Avatar: The Last Airbender) and they look a little something like this:

The Witcher
While Netflix’s live-action series is based on the original books, not the games, ah c’mon the popularity of the games obviously influenced their decision. Today Netflix showed a teaser video for the second season and announced WitcherCon, a joint online fan event in July with Witcher game devs CD Projekt Red. But no, CDPR are quite clear,they will not announce a new Witcher game then.
