Netflix Drops Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, Devs Seek Mobile Solutions

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure and is exploring other distribution options. The game will remain available on Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.

While disappointing for Netflix subscribers, Yacht Club Games hinted at future possibilities, suggesting a standalone mobile release might be in the works. However, a quick release isn't guaranteed.

This removal highlights a key risk of subscription gaming services: limited ownership and reliance on developers for future availability. While Yacht Club Games likely has options, a return to mobile platforms might not be immediate. We can anticipate potential developments in 2025.

In the meantime, numerous alternative games are available. Check out our top five new mobile games list for suggestions!
