LONDON: Netflix has announced a partnership with French video game company Ubisoft to boost its games library, a move designed to bolster the streaming platform's position in the gaming market.

Ubisoft said it is working on three exclusive titles for Netflix, all of which are built on the former's existing franchises. One of them is a game in the blockbuster Assassin's Creed series, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. The game was originally conceived to cross-promote a live-action Netflix TV adaptation that was announced in 2020 and remains in development.
