Squid Game: Release Date Dropped With New Trailer

Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed Gets a Release Date and a New Trailer

The highly anticipated mobile game adaptation of Netflix's hit series, Squid Game: Unleashed, finally has a release date. A new trailer showcases the violent action players can expect.

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

Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its original series has been 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 the iconic, deadly games from the show, albeit with a more lighthearted presentation. This approach may be divisive, depending on individual perspectives on the source material, but it clearly aims to leverage the immense popularity of Hwang Don-hyuk's original series.

Featuring both classic and new scenarios from the show, Squid Game: Unleashed has the potential to be a major success 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 adapted into a multiplayer battle game is undeniable. However, from a purely objective standpoint, the adaptation makes strategic sense. It seems Netflix has recognized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to retain user engagement, even if some streaming content fails to resonate.
