Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed series of narrative puzzlers, has announced a commendable initiative to allocate 3% of its profits over the next three years to charitable causes. The funds will be directed to the IFRC (International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies) and specifically to their Disaster Response Emergency Fund. This move aligns seamlessly with ustwo's status as the first B-corp game studio, a designation for companies that exhibit outstanding social and environmental responsibility. Given Monument Valley 3's expansive reach through Netflix Games, this initiative could have a significant impact.
Ustwo's commitment to social and environmental themes is not new. Their previous titles, such as Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, have similarly emphasized these values. Additionally, ustwo has a history of partnering with various charitable organizations, notably with UK-based youth charities during the launch of Desta: The Memories Between.
A Little Bit on the SideMonument Valley 3 has been met with widespread acclaim, including a five-star review from our team. While the game's availability on Netflix Games, which does not feature in-app purchases or fees, might affect the revenue stream, the donation would come directly from ustwo, showcasing their dedication to giving back. This initiative, alongside their ongoing efforts to solicit donations for the IFRC and other organizations, will undoubtedly provide crucial support to these groups.
