Netflix continues to try to succeed in the mobile gaming segment. After its announcement a few months ago, the streaming platform continues to add titles. In this case, it is the turn of The Money Heist. The Spanish invoice series, which has brought so many successes to the platform at an international level, will also have its version up for grabs. The game will be available soon – the specific date has not been confirmed – through the different platforms on which Netflix Games has made its deployment.
For this release, Netflix Games wanted to focus on the main characters of The Money Heist. Basically, the premise of the game – quite simple – proposes that you put yourself in the place of one of the characters that make up the group of thieves. For a single player, the proposal is that you choose the characters based on the needs of the robbery in question. The objective of it: help the Professor to rob the safe of a bank.
Similar to titles that function as an online escape room, the game of The House of Paper It is made up of puzzles or mini-games in which you open safes and analyze clues. Likewise, it will also be necessary to avoid shootings when the robbery is discovered.
Netflix does not provide many more details about the game of La Casa de Papel. But you have to remember that they are all for mobile in minigame format, which indicates that the complication of the content cannot go very far.
It was already known that Netflix was going to monetize the rights it maintains over the franchise of The Money Heist. With the end of the main series, several confirmed spin offs to continue creating content under the signature of the select group of thieves. The game is one more line that points to an interesting fact: with a newly minted gaming platform, a title known as The Money Heist it can be interesting to raise your entertainment section. It is a strategy that is repeated, in any case. Netflix Games began its journey with a well-known title: stranger things. Specifically with 5 proposals based on the characters of the series:
- Stranger Things: 1984;
- Stranger Things 3: The Game;
- Shooting Hoops;
- Card Blast;
- Teeter Up.
Now it has 22 titles to which will be added, in the coming weeks, the new game of The Money Heist.
Available from November 2021, there is little data on the success, or not, of Netflix Games. The platform, which started out being only available for Android devices, quickly found its place on iOS. There are no concrete data. In fact, to enter the platform you do not have to register again. However, there are not a few voices that point to a more than possible failure of the Netflix game franchise. Stadia from Google, Luna from Amazon, or Facebook They already tried to succeed, without success, in that segment. Also Disney, with some of the most solid franchises in the world of series and movies – much more than The Money Heist–, has had bittersweet results with its attempt to reach the video game segment.
It works with the same password of the user profiles for the streaming channel. Which is positive for the user, but complicated for the monetization of the service. By not creating a new account, purchases within games or even charging for access to the game service are made impossible – at least for now. Which would not attract attention if it were not for the state of Netflix after its latest results. The bleeding of new users, after years of reign, makes things complicated for Netflix with La Casa de Papel in game version or without it.
