In This StoryNetflixâs annual Geeked Week event has wrapped up and weâve collected all the big video game-related news into one place. Youâre welcome!
Geeked Week is a week-long event during which the streaming giant announces or shows off fresh looks at upcoming video game, sci-fi, horror, and superhero projects. Think Comic Con but itâs all Netflix stuff. This year, the company showed us our first look at a new Splinter Cell series, revealed when the Devil May Cry animated show will arrive, and announced a new game based on one of its recent original movies. And more!
After being announced last year, we just got a release date (and a new trailer) for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, the upcoming animated series based on the long-running video game franchise. The show, which is set after the events of the recent âSurvivor Trilogy,â stars Haley Atwell as Lara Croft and is set to arrive on Netflix on October 10.
First announced in 2020, Netflix and Ubisoft finally gave us our first actual look at Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, the upcoming animated show based on the award-winning stealth-action series starring everyoneâs favorite gruff super agent, Sam Fisher. This time around, Fisher wonât be voiced by Michael Ironside, but instead by Liev Schreiber. No release date was given for the show beyond âComing Soon.â
The next season of Netflix and Konamiâs Castlevania sequel series will be arriving in January 2025 as revealed in a new trailer that premiered during Geeked Week 2024. Castlevania: Nocturne will be set during the French Revolution and will see the return of Richter, Maria, Annette, and others from the showâs debut season in 2023. Click here to read more on Netflixâs next Castlevania season.
The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep will premiere on Netflix on February 11, 2025 and to help fans deal with the wait, a new clip from the movie was released during the event. The upcoming Sirens of the Deep sees Doug Cockle, who voiced Geralt in the games, return to voice the grumpy monster hunter once more. The new movie is based on Witcher creator Andrzej Sapkowskiâs short storyâA Little Sacrificeâ from the Sword of Destiny collection.
The first two Monument Valley games were beloved indie puzzle mobile games that featured stunning artwork and unique gameplay mechanics. Now, Monument Valley 3 is arriving exclusively on Netflix Games in December. This new sequel was first announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live.
Announced last year, Netflixâs animated Devil May Cry series received a new official teaser trailer as well as a release date. The show, simply titled Devil May Cry, will arrive exclusively on the subscription platform sometime in April 2025.

We got a bit more news about Netflixâs animated series based on the popular card game, Magic: The Gathering. Announced back in 2019, we havenât heard much about the show since then, leading some to think it was dead. Thatâs not the case, according to Netflix. The streamer revealed that Terry Matalas is the new MTG series showrunner. We donât know much else, but its nice to get an update on this long-awaited show.
Remember Rebel Moon? Probably not, but it was Zack Snyderâs gritty and not well-received Star Wars-like action movie that landed on Netflix in 2023. A sequel arrived in 2024. People really didnât like that one either. But hey, Netflix has already spent millions on this thing to make it a franchise, so why not throw even more money down the drain on a video game, too? Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game will be released âsoonâ on mobile devices.
