Some things just don't mix, like oil and water. On a similar note, Netflix and gaming aren't such a good fit for each other, let alone a natural one. But, let it not be said that Netflix listens to its naysayers.

after the streaming giant took its gaming venture seriously, it has found a new partner in Ubisoft.

The two companies are, what you call, kindred souls. They're struggling in the face of rising competition. As Disney overtakes Netflix in terms of subscriber count, Ubisoft has fought off a potential takeover after Tencent upped its investment in the company.

Still, both aren't in a good shape financially. Ubisoft is hedging its future on Assassin's Creed, launching Mirage next year and a slew of AAA titles as part of Infinity in 2024 and beyond. In addition to this, Ubisoft is working with Netflix on a live-action Assassin's Creed series and multiple mobile titles.
