Squid Game Unleashed Lets You Play In A Cartoonish Version Of The Show's Capitalist Hellscape
Netflix dropped a new trailer for a mobile game based on its hit show during Gamescom's Opening Night Live
According to the Squid Game Unleashed website, the title is a multiplayer battle royale game, and it looks like you'll be able to customize your character to take on various recognizable challenges from the original Squid Game and Squid Game: The Challenge, Netflix's game show modeled after the series that also took a jokey spin on a show that was about awful things happening to poor people. There are also "more new games inspired by classic childhood activities."
The whole thing has a cartoonish art style that distances it some from the extremely serious and tragic show, and the trailer gives a sense that the game is taking more of a Fall Guys approach to the material. But there's also a sense of black comedy to the whole thing, since characters are still getting murdered for their failures, which actually sounds like it might make Squid Game Unleashed an interesting spin on the whole idea.
Squid Game Unleashed is coming to Android and iOS devices "soon," according to the trailer, and will be accessible through the Netflix app.
