Netflix’s lineup of mobile games is steadily growing, this time with 'Relic Hunters: Rebels.' The game was developed by Brazillian studio Rogue Snail, and is the newest addition to the Relic Hunters series. The sci-fi RPG game takes heavy inspiration from traditional first-person shooter games with a total of 44 different weapons available. Like other Netflix games, you can play Relix Hunters: Rebels for free with a Netflix subscription.
Since late last year, Netflix has been releasing title after title on its mobile app, including a League of Legends spinoff and its first FPS game. Netflix also launched a daily interactive trivia series and is planning to release a TV series and mobile game based on Exploding Kittens.
Rogue Snail CEO Mark Venturelli said that "the idea that we could make games without worrying about monetization was also very compelling, as it allows us to focus on just making a fun game without having to worry about how to pay our bills."
