Netflix, Ubisoft announce plans to create three mobile games
MUMBAI: OTT platform Netflix and Ubisoft have announced plans to create three mobile games from game franchises to Netflix, starting in 2023. Announced at Ubisoft’s annual digital event Ubisoft Forward, the three games will expand on the Valiant Hearts, Mighty Quest and Assassin’s Creed universes, and will be available exclusively on mobile to Netflix members around the world with no ads or in-app purchases.
A new Valiant Hearts game, sequel to Ubisoft’s game Valiant Hearts: The Great War, is directed by the original core team and will retain the same DNA while featuring a new story. It will be available to Netflix members in January 2023.
After The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot mobile game, The Mighty Quest will come to Netflix in 2023 with a new game. This time, the game will draw inspiration from the roguelike genre to deliver an experience that celebrates the series’ premiere hack-and-slash combat in a fresh and highly replayable format.
And for Assassin’s Creed fans, they will be able to immerse themselves in the Assassin’s Creed universe on Netflix in more than one way. In addition to the previously announced live-action series, an all-new mobile game is being developed exclusively for Netflix.
“We’re thrilled to work with Ubisoft, whose track record creating memorable worlds for fans is unmatched. This partnership will provide our members with exclusive access to some of the most exciting game franchises as we continue to build a catalogue of great mobile games for our members around the world,” said Netflix’s vice president Games Mike Verdu.
“As we continue to create great experiences on all platforms, we’re glad to be partnering with such an innovative and creative partner as Netflix. I believe that this partnership will be a great opportunity for Netflix members to further explore our worlds and universes on mobile” said Ubisoft chief mobile officer Jean-Michel Detoc.

PM Modi hits 30M subscribers on Youtube
World’s most-followed leader adds to 100M Instagram milestone last month.
MUMBAI: PM Narendra Modi just clicked ‘subscribe’ on digital dominance because when your YouTube channel outpaces world leaders like a viral cat video, even politics gets binge-worthy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Youtube channel has surged past 30 million subscribers, solidifying his status as the most-followed world leader on the platform, officials announced on 24 February 2026. This milestone leaves former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro second with about one-fourth of Modi’s count in the dust, while US President Donald Trump trails with roughly one-seventh the subscribers.
The achievement builds on Modi’s Instagram triumph last month, where he became the first global leader to cross 100 million followers. On Instagram, Modi towers over peers, Trump at 43 million, Prabowo Subianto at 15 million, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at 14 million, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at 11 million, and Javier Milei at 6 million their combined totals still fall short of Modi’s solo mark.
Domestically, the gap is equally stark. Modi’s subscriber base is three times that of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and over four times the channels of the Aam Aadmi Party and Indian National Congress. On Instagram, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has 16 million followers, while Gandhi counts 12 million.
Modi joined YouTube and Instagram in 2014, evolving both into powerhouses of digital outreach with governance highlights, cultural moments, and direct citizen engagement. In a world where likes and shares shape narratives, Modi isn’t just leading polls, he’s leading the scroll, turning policy into playlist gold.
