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 December 17th.

Netflix's track record adapting its own shows has been inconsistent. While some, like the Stranger Things pixel-art game, have found success, others haven't resonated as widely. However, Squid Game: Unleashed, with its action and violence, is poised to be a hit, particularly for fans of the original series.

This multiplayer game throws players into the iconic, deadly contests of the show, adding a humorous twist. Whether this is a positive or negative aspect is subjective, but it certainly leverages the original series' popularity.

Featuring classic scenarios alongside new ones, Squid Game: Unleashed could be a major win for Netflix. Its release, just before Season 2 arrives on December 26th, is excellent timing. Pre-registration is available now!

CalamariThe irony of a show about dehumanization and the exploitation of death for entertainment becoming a multiplayer game is undeniable. However, from a purely objective standpoint, it's a logical move. Netflix seems to recognize that a dedicated multiplayer audience can retain users, even if they aren't drawn to all of the streaming platform's offerings.

While you wait, consider checking out other new releases, such as Honey Grove, a relaxing gardening simulator that received rave reviews.
