Supergiant's iconic dungeon crawler Hades will be released on mobile next year exclusive to the Netflix app.

There's no release date yet beyond 2024, but the game will be available on iOS devices for those with a Netflix subscription.

The game will feature fully-customisable touch controls designed specifically for this version, though a Bluetooth controller will be compatible too.

As per a blog post from Supergiant, it worked with Secret6 on this version - a studio that assisted the likes of Naughty Dog, Interior/Night, and CD Projekt.

There are no plans to bring the game to Android devices, however.

Also out next year will be Hades 2, in early access at least. The sequel will focus on the Princess of the Underworld using dark sorcery to take on the Titan of Time.

Other classic indie games are also on the way to the Netflix app, as announced as part of its Geeked Week virtual event last week.

Braid: Anniversary Edition will release next year to honour the game's 15th anniversary, as previously reported.

The likes of Death's Door and Katana Zero will additionally make their way to the Netflix app, though release dates are unknown.

The Geeked Week event also had an update on the Devil May Cry anime, showing some design sketches of a younger Dante who appears to be somewhat inspired by prequel Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening.

"My goal is to make one of the best shows on the Netflix platform, period," said series creator Adi Shankar. We'll have to wait until next year to find out.
