Netflix Games' highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game finally has a release date: December 17th! A new trailer showcases the bloody action players can expect.
The game will be available for iOS and Android. Netflix's track record with adaptations of its original series is mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have been successful, others haven't resonated as widely. However, Squid Game: Unleashed aims to capture the excitement and violence of the original show, offering a multiplayer battle royale experience.
Players will compete against friends and strangers in iconic (and some new) scenarios from the series. The game's release, timed just before the December 26th launch of Squid Game season two, is a strategic move by Netflix to maintain fan engagement. Pre-registration is now open.
The ironic juxtaposition of a show about dehumanization and death-as-entertainment being adapted into a competitive multiplayer game is undeniable. However, from a purely business perspective, it's a smart move by Netflix, potentially attracting a dedicated player base and boosting platform engagement.
