As told by a renowned leaker on Twitter/X, Atlus has apparently started developing multiple games for Netflix's gaming service. Speculation suggests that they could rework some of their well-known titles as mobile ports.

Who is Atlus?

Atlus is a Japanese video game developer and publisher known for creating popular franchises such as Shin Megami Tensei and Persona. The company has a diverse portfolio, spanning various genres, including role-playing games (RPGs) and action-adventure titles.

The Netflix gaming service is a platform where Netflix offers a variety of video games to its subscribers. As claimed by well-known Atlus leaker @MbKKssTBhz5 on Twitter/X, Atlus is now developing games for Netflix's gaming platform, expanding the library of available titles on the service.

This follows Sega's earlier announcement about a potential 'global expansion' for Atlus, aiming to release their games on other platforms. The specific Atlus games coming to Netflix remain unknown, but there are expectations of mobile ports for the Persona series or older Shin Megami Tensei titles.

Netflix's gaming service has recently become more and more popular, with recent additions like the Grand Theft Auto collection expanding the service. Despite its success, there are discussions about potential monetization strategies, including ads or paid in-game premium content.

Netflix's entry into the gaming industry was announced several years ago, and recent developments, including the rumored collaboration with Atlus, show just how involved the streaming giant is becoming in the gaming industry.

If the leak is accurate, we assume that Atlus might bring existing Persona games and titles from their portfolio to mobile platforms rather than creating entirely new games for Netflix.
