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 with adaptations of its original series is mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have been successful, others haven't fared as well. However, for fans craving action and violence, the December 17th release of Squid Game: Unleashed is excellent news!
Squid Game: Unleashed pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly games, albeit with a more playful twist. Whether this is a positive or negative change depends on individual opinions of the show, but it clearly aims to leverage the original series' popularity.
The game features classic scenarios from the show, along with new additions. Squid Game: Unleashed, arriving just before Season 2's December 26th premiere, could be Netflix's next big mobile hit. Pre-registration is available now!
CalamariThe irony of a show about dehumanization and the exploitation of death 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 that a dedicated multiplayer audience can boost user retention, even if some streaming content doesn't resonate with everyone.
While you wait, consider checking out other new releases, such as Honey Grove, a relaxing gardening simulator that received a positive review from our own Jack Brassel.
