Netflix announces LEGO mobile game and a daily version of Cut the Rope
techcrunch.comNetflix announced Tuesday two new mobile games coming soon to the platform — the LEGO-themed strategy battle game LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed and a puzzle adventure game called Paper Trail.
Additionally, the company revealed the release dates of Cut the Rope Daily, a new version of the popular game where players feed candy to a creature named Om Nom by cutting strands of rope, and The Queen’s Gambit: Chess — which was announced last year.
The Queen’s Gambit: Chess and Cut the Rope Daily will launch on July 25 and August 1, respectively. Both games will be available on mobile exclusively for Netflix subscribers.
LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, developed and published byGameloft in 2020, is a significant addition to Netflix’s gaming library, given that LEGO is one of the largest toy companies in the world. The streamer has reportedly struggled to convince its enormous subscriber base to play its mobile games, which is likely why it continues to add well-known titles to its library.
In the nostalgic game, players can collect classic and modern LEGO minifigures, build sets, travel to different maps, complete quests and participate in turn-based battles. Minifigures include Chicken Suit Guy, Hot Dog Man, Pirate Princess Argenta, Santa and Ghostbusters, among others.
Netflix has yet to announce when LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed will release on its streaming app. However, when the game launches, it will no longer be free for anyone to play since it will be exclusive to Netflix subscribers.
Earlier this year, Gameloft notified players that LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed would no longer be able to download on mobile and PC on February 28 and was removed from Google Play, App Store, Microsoft Store, Samsung Galaxy Store and Amazon Appstore.
