Squid Game: Unleashed\'s release date unveiled alongside new trailer

Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed gets a release date! A new trailer reveals the bloody action awaiting players.

Squid Game: Unleashed launches on iOS and Android December 17th.

Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its hit shows is mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have been successful, others haven't quite hit the mark. However, for fans craving action and violence, Squid Game: Unleashed promises a thrilling experience.

This multiplayer battle pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly games from the show, but with a more lighthearted twist. Whether this approach works will depend on individual preferences, but it undeniably leverages the original series' immense popularity.

Featuring classic scenarios alongside new challenges, Squid Game: Unleashed could be a significant win for Netflix. Its launch, just before Season 2 of the show arrives on December 26th, is perfectly timed. Pre-registration is open now!

CalamariThe irony of a show about the dehumanization of individuals and the exploitation of their deaths for entertainment being adapted into a multiplayer game is undeniable. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical move. Netflix seems to have recognized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to retain subscribers, even if some streaming content fails to resonate.
