Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, from Spry Fox games, will soon be added to Netflix’s ever-expanding lineup of games. Camp Spirit is the follow-up to Cozy Grove, an Animal Crossing-inspired crafting and survival game, but with ghosts instead of dog musicians and tanuki low-interest home loan providers.

In Camp Spirit, you’ll fulfill the wishes of dearly departed bears. (For a studio called Spry Fox, it’s kinda hilarious that nearly all of its games focus on bears.) You’ll also work on improving your haunted island, turning it into a lively community for the deceased.

Netflix began its gaming initiative in 2021 and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. In addition to becoming the exclusive mobile publisher for highly popular console games like Sonic Mania Plus, Hades, and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, the company also started working on developing its own games. To date, Netflix has a total of six internal studios, acquiring Night School Studio, Spry Fox, Next Games, and Boss Fight Entertainment while starting up two new studios in Helsinki and Southern California.

Camp Spirit’s forthcoming release makes it the newest of several Netflix-developed games, which include Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales, Money Heist: Ultimate Choice, Oxenfree II, and more. Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit launches on Netflix on June 25th, and players can preregister for it on iOS and Android.
