Next Games Oy

Next Games, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, is a game development studio specializing in games based on popular movies and TV shows. The company gained recognition for its licensed titles, focusing on creating fan-driven interactive experiences.

In 2022, Next Games was acquired by Netflix and became part of its gaming division, aligning with Netflix's strategy to expand into the gaming market. Under Netflix, the studio shifted to a model without ads or in-app purchases, launching Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales exclusively on the platform.

Before its acquisition, Next Games developed several successful titles, including The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land and The Walking Dead: Our World, both based on AMC’s The Walking Dead franchise. The company is known for its expertise in live-serviced games based on popular franchises.
