Squid Game: Unleashed\'s release date unveiled alongside new trailer

Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed gets a release date! A new trailer showcases the violent action players can expect in this mobile adaptation.

Squid Game: Unleashed launches on iOS and Android 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 resonated as broadly. However, for fans of action and violence, Squid Game: Unleashed arriving on December 17th is exciting news!

This multiplayer game pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly games from the show, albeit with a lighter, more humorous tone. Whether this approach is successful remains to be seen, but it clearly aims to capitalize on the original series' popularity.

Featuring classic scenes from the show, along with some new additions, 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 clever strategic move. Pre-registration is available now!

CalamariThe irony of a show about the dehumanization and exploitation of individuals being adapted into a competitive multiplayer game isn't lost on anyone. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical move. Netflix appears to have recognized the potential of a dedicated multiplayer audience to retain users, even if they don't engage with all of their streaming content.

While you wait, consider checking out other recent releases. Jack Brassel's positive review of the relaxing gardening sim Honey Grove is worth a look.
