Monument Valley 3, the latest installment in ustwo's acclaimed series of narrative puzzle games, has announced a heartwarming initiative: dedicating 3% of its profits over the next three years to charity. This generous move will support the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and their Disaster Response Emergency Fund, helping to make a tangible difference in the world.
This isn't a surprising step for ustwo, known for being the first B-corp game studio. B-corps are companies recognized for their outstanding commitment to social and environmental performance, embodying the ethos of 'business for good'. Given the wide reach of Monument Valley 3, now available on Netflix Games, this initiative could have a significant impact.
Ustwo's commitment to social causes is not new; their previous titles like Alba: A Wildlife Adventure have also emphasized environmental and social themes. Additionally, they've partnered with various UK-based youth charities during the launch of Desta: The Memories Between, showing a consistent dedication to making a positive impact.
The release of Monument Valley 3 has been met with widespread acclaim, including our own five-star review. While the game is available on Netflix Games, which doesn't charge fees or feature in-app purchases, the charitable contribution will come directly from ustwo's profits. This noble gesture highlights the studio's commitment to supporting vital organizations like the IFRC, which desperately need such support.
