Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed gets a release date! A new trailer showcases the bloody action awaiting players. The mobile game launches December 17th on iOS and Android.
Netflix's track record adapting its own shows is mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have been successful, others haven't resonated as widely. However, for fans of action and violence, Squid Game: Unleashed arriving on December 17th is exciting news!
Squid Game: Unleashed pits players against friends and strangers in the show's iconic deadly games, albeit with a more lighthearted tone. Whether this is a positive or negative change depends on individual preferences, but it clearly aims to leverage the original series' immense popularity.
The game features classic scenarios from the show, plus new additions. Squid Game: Unleashed could be the major hit Netflix needs, especially with its launch just before Season 2 of the show premieres on December 26th. Pre-registration is open now!
CalamariThe irony of a show about dehumanization and the exploitation of death for entertainment being adapted into a multiplayer battle game is certainly noteworthy. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical move. Netflix seems to have recognized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to boost user engagement, even if some of their streaming content doesn't resonate with everyone.
While you wait for the game's release, consider checking out other new releases. Jack Brassel's positive review of the relaxing gardening sim, Honey Grove, is worth a look.
