Unleashing Squid Game's Premiere: New Trailer Reveals Debut Date

Netflix Games' highly anticipated mobile title, Squid Game: Unleashed, finally has a release date! A new trailer showcases the brutal, yet amusing, gameplay awaiting players.

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

Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its hit shows has been mixed. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art adventure, have been successful, others haven't quite resonated. However, for fans craving action and violence, Squid Game: Unleashed promises a thrilling experience.

This multiplayer battle pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly games from the series, though with a more lighthearted tone. Whether this approach is successful remains to be seen, but it clearly aims to leverage the immense popularity of Hwang Don-hyuk's original show.

Featuring both familiar and new challenges from the Squid Game universe, Squid Game: Unleashed could be a major win for Netflix. Launching just before Season 2's December 26th premiere, 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 game is undeniable. Yet, from a purely objective viewpoint, it's a logical move. Netflix appears to have recognized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to retain users, even if they aren't engaged with all of their streaming content.

While you wait for the game's release, consider checking out other new releases. Our reviewer, Jack Brassel, highly recommends the relaxing gardening simulator, Honey Grove.
