Netflix hiring up to build high-profile PC videogame

Netflix's (NASDAQ:NFLX) videogaming ambitions may be taking a step up, as the company's Los Angeles games office is looking to hire a skilled director to build a "brand-new AAA PC game."
That's light on details but suggests a high-profile computer title, vs. the casual mobile titles that Netflix has focused on so far.

Netflix is also looking for other roles on that team to work with a director who ideally has experience with first-person and/or third-person shooter games, as well as "extensive experience working on live service games."
That new game team is likely to work in the L.A. studio with Chacko Sonny, former executive producer for the Overwatch franchise at Blizzard.
In September, Netflix said it would launch an internal game studio in Finland, and that it would team up with Ubisoft for three mobile games based on Ubisoft franchises including Assassin's Creed.
