Netflix Games' highly anticipated mobile adaptation, Squid Game: Unleashed, finally has a release date! A new trailer showcases the bloody mayhem awaiting players.
Get ready for the carnage – Squid Game: Unleashed launches on iOS and Android December 17th!
Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its hit shows has been mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have found success, others haven't quite hit the mark. However, Squid Game: Unleashed promises a different experience entirely.
This multiplayer battle pits you against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly games from the series, albeit with a more lighthearted tone. Whether this approach works will depend on individual preferences, but it's clearly designed to leverage the original show's immense popularity.
Featuring classic Squid Game scenarios alongside new challenges, Squid Game: Unleashed could be the major mobile hit Netflix needs. Its release just before Season 2 of the show (December 26th) is excellent timing. Pre-registration is available now!
CalamariThe irony of a show about the dehumanization and exploitation of individuals being adapted into a competitive multiplayer game is undeniable. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical move. This adaptation demonstrates Netflix's recognition of the potential to retain audiences through engaging multiplayer experiences, even if their streaming content isn't universally appealing.
While you wait for the game's release, consider checking out other recent game releases. Our reviewer, Jack Brassel, highly recommends the relaxing gardening sim, Honey Grove.
