Jackbox Games has unveiled the release dates and trailers for its upcoming “Trivia Murder Party 3″ and “Party Pack 12.”
\n\n“Party Pack 12″ (unveiled in the trailer above) will be available Oct. 15. “Trivia Murder Party 3″ (featured in the announcement video below) will launch Sept. 17.
\n\nThe launches come as Jackbox is experiencing a major moment of validation, with streaming giants including Netflix and Amazon shifting their gaming strategies to focus on casual games — the kind Jackbox has been regularly making since its annual “Party Pack” released in 2014.
\n\n“We consider that somewhat validating of what we do,” Jackbox Games CEO Mike Bilder tells Variety. “We’ve been making these casual, social party games annually since 2014, with an annual release of the ‘Jackbox Party Pack.’”
\n\nJackbox has partnered with both Netflix (which currently offers a three-game pack called “Jackbox Party Essentials”) and Amazon (which previously had a Jackbox Games subscription channel available on its Luna gaming platform), and Bilder says Jackbox continues to see those platforms and what they are looking to offer as “quite interesting.”
\n\n“We consider real casual gamers to be our audience. We don’t necessarily consider AAA games to be competition for us,” Bilder says.
