Netflix Heading To E3 To Adapt More TV Shows Into Video Games; Which Shows Are Good Candidates?

Netflix E3 Presentation
In aforced Twitter conversationbetween the official E3 account and Netflix’s sci-fi and fantasy-centric NX account, the two companies revealed that a Netflix E3 panel presentation is happening at the convention this year, and it will be titled “Bringing Your Favorite Shows to Life: Developing Netflix Originals into Video Games.” What can attendees expect to learn during the discussion?

That .gif is fromStranger Things 3: The Game, which adapts the upcoming third season, and we’ve known about thatfor a little while now. (BonusXP, the company responsible for the upcoming game, already released aStranger Thingsmobile game last year.)
The fact that Netflix is invested in the video game space is interesting for anyone who’s been tracking their ongoing attempts to conquer the entertainment world, and with the upcoming Disney+ looking like it will pose the latest threat against them, Netflix appears to be using this expansion opportunity as a way to secure a foothold in a corner of entertainment that they never previously needed to occupy.
So the newStranger Things 3game arrives onJuly 4, 2019, but what else could be on the horizon for Netflix?
These Netflix Originals Seem Like They’d Make Good Games
Netflix already has an established library of popular titles to choose from when it comes to video game adaptations, and several of its shows immediately come to mind as strong candidates for getting the game treatment.
That’s all entirely speculation on my part, but we’re extremely curious to see what Netflix actually has in the works. We’ll find out during their E3 panel sometime betweenJune 11-13, 2019.
