Here’s everything you need to know about Netflix’s latest venture into gaming, including gameplay details, exclusive pre-registration perks, and what this means for the future of the Squid Game universe.
A Game Inspired by a Phenomenon
Netflix has been building excitement around Squid Game: Unleashed since news broke in October 2023. The Wall Street Journal then reported on Netflix’s growing gaming ambitions, revealing plans for games based on popular franchises like Squid Game, Wednesday, and Black Mirror.
Official confirmation came in December 2023, when Netflix announced:
“Netflix is diving into video games with a fresh release in the Squid Game world, where you and your buddies can play through those iconic, spine-chilling games from the series.”
This announcement solidified the game’s place as a key part of Netflix’s strategy to merge its streaming success with gaming innovation.
What to Expect from Squid Game: Unleashed
According to Netflix’s official game website, Squid Game: Unleashed promises an adrenaline-pumping multiplayer experience. Players will face challenges lifted directly from the show and new games inspired by classic childhood activities, all with a dark, competitive twist.
Here’s a snapshot of what the game offers:
Gameplay: High-paced, multiplayer battle royale action where survival depends on outlasting opponents in each round of deadly contests.
Familiar Yet Twisted Challenges: Iconic games from the series, such as Red Light, and Green Light, paired with fresh, nostalgia-driven challenges.
Social Features: Compete with friends—or enemies—in real-time, adding a layer of strategy and unpredictability.
The game is developed by Netflix’s internal studio, Boss Fight Entertainment, known for titles like Dungeon Boss and Money Heist: Ultimate Choice. Netflix acquired the studio in 2022 to strengthen its gaming portfolio.
Strategic Launch Tied to Squid Game Season 2
Netflix’s Q2 2024 shareholder letter highlighted the company’s success with integrating games into its IP strategy. The release of Squid Game: Unleashed is perfectly timed to coincide with the launch of Squid Game Season 2, maximizing fan engagement.
The letter noted:
“We’ve got a multiplayer game based on Squid Game coming out later this year, and it’s set to launch right when the eagerly awaited second season drops.”
This synergy reflects Netflix’s broader approach to using gaming to complement its streaming offerings, citing earlier successes with Netflix Stories and Too Hot to Handle.
