Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed Gets a Release Date and a Bloody New Trailer
The highly anticipated mobile adaptation of Netflix's hit show, Squid Game: Unleashed, finally has a release date. A new trailer showcasing the game's violent gameplay has also dropped. Get ready for the carnage – Squid Game: Unleashed launches on iOS and Android on 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 quite hit the mark. However, for fans craving action and violence, Squid Game: Unleashed promises a thrilling experience.
The game pits players against friends and strangers in a recreation of the show's iconic, deadly contests, albeit with a more lighthearted tone. Whether this approach is successful will depend on individual preferences, but the game clearly aims to capitalize on the original series' immense popularity.
Featuring both familiar and new scenarios from the show, Squid Game: Unleashed has the potential to be a major hit for Netflix. Its release just before the December 26th premiere of Squid Game season two is a strategic move. Pre-registration is available now!
CalamariThe irony of a show about the dehumanization of individuals and the exploitation of their deaths for entertainment being transformed into a multiplayer battle game is undeniable. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical adaptation. This move suggests Netflix recognizes the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to retain subscribers, even if they aren't engaged with all of the streaming service's offerings.
While you wait for the game's release, consider checking out other new releases. Our own Jack Brassel has given a rave review to Honey Grove, a relaxing gardening simulator.
