Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed gets a release date! A new trailer showcases the bloody action awaiting players. The game launches December 17th on iOS and Android.
Netflix's track record with original series adaptations is mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have been successful, others haven't fared as well. However, for fans of action and violence, Squid Game: Unleashed promises a thrilling experience.
This multiplayer game pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly contests from the show, albeit with a more playful approach. Whether this is a positive or negative aspect depends on individual opinions, but the game undeniably leverages the original series' popularity.
Featuring familiar scenarios and new additions, Squid Game: Unleashed could be a significant hit for Netflix. Launching just before season two's December 26th premiere, pre-registration is available now!
A Game of Irony?
The irony of a show about dehumanization and exploitative death games being adapted into a multiplayer battle arena 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 users, even those who might not engage with all their streaming content.
In the meantime, consider checking out other new releases, such as the critically acclaimed gardening sim, Honey Grove, reviewed by Jack Brassel.
