Netflix Is Opening New Mobile Game Studio in Helsinki, Finland

Netflix is up to take a huge leap in the world of mobile gaming.

The streaming giant is now preparing to build its own internal gaming studio. This will be Netflix’s second studio in Helsinki, but the first that it’s starting from scratch, after having acquired Next Games earlier this year. This studio will be led by Marko Lastikka, who was previously a general manager at Zynga and EA.

Do note that this is an early step and game development can actually take years so it may be a while before we see actual products out from this new studio.
