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

Netflix Games' highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game finally has a release date! A new trailer showcases the bloody action players can expect.

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

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, for fans craving action and violence, the December 17th launch of Squid Game: Unleashed is exciting news!

Squid Game: Unleashed pits players against friends and strangers in a frantic, albeit amusing, recreation of the deadly games. This approach may appeal to some more than others, but it clearly aims to leverage the original show's immense popularity.

Featuring iconic scenes from the series, plus some new additions, Squid Game: Unleashed could become a major hit for Netflix. Launching just before Season 2 of the show on December 26th, 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 realized that a dedicated multiplayer audience could boost user retention, even if some streaming content doesn't resonate.
