Netflix shuts down ambitious, veteran-packed AAA studio before it released even a single title

Netflix has reportedly closed its ambitious AAA studio, Team Blue. The studio previously employed big-name developers, including veterans from Halo, Overwatch, and other major franchises.

The report was released on Oct. 22 by Game File and claimed the company’s Southern California studio, known internally as “Team Blue,” has closed up shop. It was supposed to be the streaming giant’s ticket into the AAA market, with the studio developing an ambitious multi-platform title that would decouple Netflix from the mobile video game industry. It has poured significant efforts into achieving this through Team Blue, hiring high-profile veterans such as the former Overwatch executive producer Chacko Sonny and the former Halo creative director Joseph Staten, who even left Xbox to join Netflix as a new creative lead on its AAA endeavor.
