Netflix Games' highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game finally has a release date! A new trailer showcases the brutal, yet amusing, gameplay.
Squid Game: Unleashed launches on iOS and Android December 17th.
Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its shows has been mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things game, have been successful, others haven't resonated as widely. However, Squid Game: Unleashed, with its action-packed, violent, and arguably humorous take on the original series, looks poised to be a hit.
The game pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic deadly competition, reimagining familiar scenarios with new additions. Its release, just before Squid Game season two on December 26th, is strategically timed to maximize fan engagement. Pre-registration is open now!
CalamariThe irony of a show about dehumanization and exploitative death games being adapted into a multiplayer battle arena isn't lost on anyone. Yet, from a business perspective, it's a shrewd move. Netflix seems to have realized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to retain users, even if they aren't consistently drawn to its streaming content.
While you wait for the game's release, consider checking out other new releases, such as the relaxing gardening sim, Honey Grove, which received a rave review from Jack Brassel.
