Netflix has announced four more games that are launching on its platform this month, including a new Exploding Kittens game that is based on a popular card game and will also be tied to an upcoming Netflix series premiering in 2023.

The Exploding Kittens game, which was developed by Direwolf Digital, retains the classic gameplay from the original card game, where players draw cards aiming to avoid the Exploding Kitten. Users will be able to play with two new exclusive cards, Radar and Flip Flop, to allow players to manipulate the deck in new ways. The new Exploding Kittens game will launch on May 31st in more than 15 languages.

One of the other titles joining Netflix’s list of games is Dragon Up, which was developed by Canadian developer East Side Games. The single-player adventure game sees players hatch and collect rare dragons in order to save their kingdom.

The game is launching today in more than 30 languages.

The second game is called Townsmen – A Kingdom Rebuilt and is Netflix’s first game from Germany by developer HandyGames. The game sees players building a medieval city, making smart financial decisions, and doing what it takes to keep their people happy. The game is available today in more than 15 games.

Lastly, Netflix is adding a game called Moonlighter from Spain by developer 11 Bit Studios. In this RPG adventure game, players manage a shop in an idyllic village by day.
