‘Squid Game: Unleashed’ Is a New Multiplayer Game Coming This Year From Netflix, Reveal

Netflix’s upcoming multiplayer game based on Squid Game, Squid Game: Unleashed, will have its first full reveal during Gamescom 2024, the official Twitter account confirmed. Not much is known about Squid Game: Unleashed other than it being a game where players will be able to compete with friends in games recognizable from the series as confirmed on the announcement post for Season 2 of the show. As a “first look" planned for Gamescom, I imagine we will see either a teaser CG trailer or some gameplay with a confirmation of pre-orders and pre-registrations going live.

As for a release date, What’s on Netflix reports that the Q2 investor earnings mentions the game being timed with Season 2 of Squid Game. I’m curious to see what the gameplay looks like and who is developing this. Earlier today, Netflix also launched Netflix Stories: Emily in Paris alongside the new season of Emily in Paris (Season 4 Part 1). Watch the trailer for this below:

I’ll be covering Gamescom this year (online) so stay tuned for all the mobile, Switch, and Steam Deck news across the week. It is going to be interesting to see what else Netflix reveals during Gamescom. I’m hoping we see World of Goo 2 which I feel is a good fit for the service. Have you watched Squid Game yet and what would you like to see in the upcoming multiplayer game Squid Game: Unleashed?
