Netflix is demonstrating its serious commitment to the video game industry by adding a new title to its development pipeline. This time, the streaming service has announced a game based on its original show "Kate: Collateral Damage." Let's take a look at what they have in store.
A Significant Move
The upcoming game is being developed by Ludic Studios, a team of 3 developers and a cat from Brazil. Although they have not released any games yet, they have already announced 3 promising pixel-art titles, including "Kate: Collateral Damage."
Based on the trailer, the game appears to be a "time-attack action roguelike," which is a fitting choice given the plot of the show. In the series, Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character Kate must find an antidote within 24 hours to prevent being poisoned.
According to the Steam description, players will need to defeat enemies to slow down the timer and collect stimulant syringes to reset it. The game is set in a ¾ view, which appears to be both convenient and stylish. As Kate is attacked by enemies, players will need to use melee weapons and firearms to fight back.
The Next Hotline Miami?
The fast-paced and stylish gameplay suggests that the game has the potential to become the next Hotline Miami. Despite the average reviews of the show, there is hope that the video game adaptation will elevate the concept to new heights. This is also an opportunity for Netflix to showcase its creative prowess in the gaming industry.
More details about the game are expected to be revealed soon, as the release date of October 22nd has already been confirmed. While there is no price announced for the game, it is likely to be included as part of a Netflix subscription. What are your thoughts on the trailer?
