Netflix is removing *Shadow and Bone: Enter the Fold* from its mobile games library on November 9, 2026. The single-player narrative RPG for iOS and Android will go dark exactly three years after its surprise launch during Geeked Week in November 2023.

Developed by Munich-based Chimera Entertainment, the title was initially revealed at Geeked Week 2022 under the working title *Shadow and Bone: Destinies*. Chimera describes it as a modern “choose your own adventure” with RPG mechanics and episodic storytelling. Set between the first and second seasons of the show, players control Alina, Jesper, Sturmhond, and General Kirigan while managing scarce resources and choosing between combat, stealth, negotiation, and Grisha magic.

### A short-lived release

The game arrived just days before Deadline reported on November 15, 2023, that Netflix had canceled the *Shadow and Bone* series. The show was dropped alongside *Glamorous*, *Agent Elvis*, *Farzar*, and *Captain Fall* in a post-strike clear-out, following a viewership decline in its expensive second season. Author Leigh Bardugo also confirmed on Instagram that a planned Six of Crows spin-off was scrapped.

### Shrinking games library

According to What's on Netflix, the departure is part of a steady stream of games leaving the platform. Netflix removed dozens of titles in 2025, including *Hades* and the *Monument Valley* trilogy in a single July clear-out. In 2026, games like *Tomb Raider Reloaded*, *Game Dev Tycoon*, *Hello Kitty and Friends: Happiness Parade*, *Bowling Ballers*, and *Teeter Up* have also departed.

While most departing games are third-party titles with expiring licensing windows, Netflix holds the television rights to *Shadow and Bone* indefinitely. What's on Netflix notes it is unclear if the interactive rights to Bardugo's books were on a separate fixed-term deal or if the company simply decided the game is not worth keeping up. There is no indication the title will live on elsewhere.

### What to do before the shutdown

November 8 is the last day to play the game. Players with unfinished runs in the Fold must wrap them up before that date, as all progress is expected to disappear along with the game.
