With the holiday season approaching, Netflix made a bold move by releasing Squid Game: Unleashed for free to both subscribers and non-subscribers alike. As the excitement builds for the release of season two of the hit Korean drama, Squid Game: Unleashed is set to receive a thrilling update, aimed at drawing in even more players with fresh content and exclusive rewards for watching the new episodes.
Starting January 3rd, players can dive into a new map inspired by Mingle, one of the key mini-games featured in Squid Game season two. Alongside this, new characters Geum-Ja, Yong-Sik, and Thanos (the rapper, not the Mad Titan) will be introduced as playable avatars throughout the month.
Geum-Ja and Thanos will each have their special in-game events on January 3rd and 9th, respectively, offering players a chance to unlock these characters. Geum-Ja's Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event, running until January 9th, challenges players to complete Mingle-inspired mini-games and collect Dalgona tins. Thanos' event, the Red Light Challenge, runs from January 9th to 14th, where players must eliminate others using knives to recruit Thanos to their roster.
For those planning to watch Squid Game season two, there's an added incentive. Watching the episodes will earn you in-game Cash and Wild Tokens, and watching up to seven episodes will unlock the exclusive Binni Binge-Watcher outfit!
**Game on**
Here's a detailed look at what to expect in Squid Game: Unleashed this coming month:
- January 3rd: The new Mingle map and Geum-Ja's debut with the Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event, lasting until January 9th.
- January 9th: Thanos enters the game with the Red Light Challenge event, running until January 14th.
- January 16th: Yong-Sik joins the game as the final new character of this update.
It's evident that Squid Game: Unleashed could be a pivotal moment for Netflix in the gaming world. By making the game freely accessible and rewarding subscribers who watch the show, Netflix is cleverly intertwining its gaming and streaming platforms, potentially setting a new standard for interactive entertainment.
