Netflix Games' Squid Game: Unleashed gets a release date and a new trailer! The mobile game adaptation arrives on December 17th for iOS and Android, promising a bloody good time.

A new trailer showcases the violent action players can expect. Netflix's track record with game adaptations of its shows has been mixed, but Squid Game: Unleashed aims to capitalize on the original series' popularity with a multiplayer battle royale twist.

The game features iconic scenes from the show, along with new additions. Its release, just before Season 2 of the show premieres on December 26th, is perfectly timed. Pre-registration is available now!

The irony of a show about the dehumanization of people being adapted into a multiplayer game isn't lost on anyone. However, from a purely business perspective, it's a smart move. Netflix seems to have realized that a successful multiplayer game can retain user engagement beyond individual streaming content.

While you wait for Squid Game: Unleashed, consider checking out other new releases, such as the relaxing gardening sim, Honey Grove, which received a positive review.
