Netflix announces a mobile game and the animated series Exploding Kitten, which are based on the popular card game. For the first time in history, Netflix decided to create both a game and a series based on one concept. Mobile game will debut in May this year, taking the fan-favorite gameplay into the digital world. Animated series should be watchable in 2023.
The animated series Exploding Kitten is a story based on the age-old rivalry between good and evil. This conflict will reach its zenith when God and the Devil are sent to Earth – in the bodies of fat domestic cats. The creators of the series are Shane Kosakowski and Matthew Inman. The executive producers are Mike Judge, Greg Daniels and Dustin Davis of Bandera Entertainment; and Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping of the Chernin Entertainment Group. Elan Lee and Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal are also producing.
The production will be attended by: Tom Ellis (known from the movies Rush and Lucifer ), Abraham Lim ( Clickbait, The Boys ), Lucy Liu ( Shazam, Elementary, Kill Bill ), Ally Maki ( Reset, Toy Story 4 ), Mark Proksch ( Co we do in secret, Call Saul ) and Sasheer Zamata ( Woke, Home Economics ).
Exploding Kittens retains the same classic gameplay as the traditional version . Players draw cards trying to avoid an explosion. In the Netflix mobile version , fans will be able to enjoy two new cards: Radar – which reveals players the position of the exploding cat closest to the top of the deck, and Flip Flop – which reverses the order of cards in the deck. Future solutions and game mechanics will be thematically related to the animated series, so that fans can play their favorite characters and develop the series story. The title will be available to Netflix users in both single and multiplayer modes, without additional fees or in-app purchases.
Collaboration on the development of the game and animated series opens up new opportunities for Netflix , says Mike Moon, Netflix Head of Adult Animation. We couldn’t have imagined a better universe creation title than Exploding Kitties, one of the most imaginative, iconic and original productions of this century! Netflix is a great place to get to know and get caught up in this unique story. We are very happy to be able to work with such an amazing team! – he adds.
Our goal is to provide users with exceptional entertainment in every form – whether it’s a game or an animated series , ‘said Leanne Loombe, Head of External Games, Netflix. ` ` As we expand our catalog of mobile games, we are thrilled to partner with the Exploding Kitten team and share this captivating story with all age groups, while introducing some unique solutions tailored specifically for the site’s users.
Netflix is the only service that can bring Exploding Kittens to life in both series and game form, said Matthew Inman, Chief Creative Officer of Exploding Kittens and creator of The Oatmeal. – We launched Exploding Kittens on Kickstarter as an additional project, but our community has been the heart and soul of the company for the last six years. The new series and game will give fans new opportunities to contact and interact with the series .
