Unveiled: Squid Game: Unleashed's Release Date and Thrilling New Trailer

Netflix Games' highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game finally has a release date! A new trailer showcases the bloody 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, Squid Game: Unleashed, with its action and violence, looks poised to be a hit.

This multiplayer game pits players against friends and strangers in the iconic, deadly challenges from the show, albeit with a more playful tone. Whether this approach works will depend on individual preferences, but it clearly aims to leverage the immense popularity of Hwang Don-hyuk's original series.

Featuring classic scenarios and new additions, Squid Game: Unleashed could be a major win for Netflix. Its release, just before Season 2 of the show debuts on December 26th, is perfectly timed. Pre-registration is available now!

CalamariThe irony of a show about the dehumanization and exploitation of individuals being adapted into a competitive multiplayer game is certainly noteworthy. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical move. Netflix seems to have realized that a dedicated multiplayer audience can boost user engagement and retention, even if some streaming content doesn't resonate with everyone.

While you wait for the game's release, consider checking out other recent releases. Our reviewer, Jack Brassel, gave a positive review to the relaxing gardening simulator, Honey Grove.
