The video game industry continues to expand its boundaries, and now, a new collaboration is bringing an exciting mix between two entertainment giants. A talented Brazilian developer, known for his work on the acclaimed game “God of War,” is currently involved in the creation of a high-investment game for Netflix.
Raf Grassetti made a name for himself in the gaming industry when he joined Santa Monica Studio, developer of the iconic “God of War” for PlayStation 4. Grassetti played a crucial role in the game’s development, serving as art director responsible for redesigning the protagonist Kratos and creating a new visual approach for the franchise.
Raf Grassetti tapped to lead Netflix’s AAA game project
Grassetti took to social media to announce that he is now part of Netflix’s game development team. The professional commented on his excitement for the new project in his career.
The former Santa Monica collaborator will have a super team to develop the original game for the streaming platform. Grassetti will have Joseph Staten, former creative director of “Halo: Infinite” and “Microsoft Flight Simulator”, Chacko Sonny, former executive producer of “Overwatch 2” and Jerry Edsall, lead programmer on “Gears 5”.
“I am thrilled to announce that I have joined Netflix to develop a new original AAA game IP. I am incredibly excited to build a team and work with the incredible Joseph Staten, Jerry Edsall and Chacko Sonny to bring a new world to life.“, wrote the developer on his Twitter.

Fans, however, still don’t know what Netflix’s AAA game project will be like. The streaming service is investing heavily to launch itself into the gaming industry. Those already accustomed to the platform’s investments expect the company to also stand out in the world of electronic games.
For those who don’t know, AAA games, also known as Triple-A, are those that have large budgets and are developed by established companies in the market. For this reason, they are expected to be high-quality games.
