Netflix Games' highly anticipated mobile adaptation, Squid Game: Unleashed, has a confirmed release date! A new trailer showcases the game's violent, yet amusing, take on the hit series.
Squid Game: Unleashed arrives on iOS and Android on December 17th.
Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its shows has been mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things game, have been successful, others haven't resonated as well. However, Squid Game: Unleashed, with its action-packed gameplay, appears poised to capitalize on the original show's massive popularity.
The game features iconic scenarios from the series, along with new additions. Its launch just before Season 2 of the show (December 26th) is strategic. Pre-registration is now open!
CalamariThe ironic juxtaposition of a show about dehumanization and deadly games being adapted into a multiplayer battle game is undeniable. However, from a purely business perspective, it's a logical move. Netflix seems to have recognized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to increase user engagement and retention.
