'Squid Game'-inspired mobile game, exhibit is coming soon
The Squid Game fever continues, as Netflix officially announced last Wednesday, August 21, that it will soon release a new mobile game inspired by the hit Korean series.
Netflix unveiled the first look at its upcoming mobile game, Squid Game: Unleashed, at Gamescom's opening night in Cologne, Germany.
They later shared its official minute-long trailer on its social media accounts.
In the trailer, Netflix teased Squid Game fans and gamers the virtual experience of the “32-player party royale showdown, " and its deadly and viral game, “Red Light, Green Light.”
They also showed new games that are, according to Netflix, “inspired by classic childhood activities” and will give players a thrill and excitement.
“Prepare for fast, heart-pounding action and brutal competition in this multiplayer battle royale game,” Netflix said in a statement, “Play with friends (or enemies) online and see if you have what it takes to outlast and defeat the other players in each twisted contest.”
Some fans suspect these games could be some of the newest segments in the upcoming seasons of Squid Game, but the streaming company is yet to confirm the details about it.
Last week, Netflix announced that they are opening Squid Game: The Experience exhibit at The Manhattan Mall in New York this October.
Squid Game: The Experience will let fans have a first-hand look and participate in some of the games from the world-famous series like “Red Light, Green Light.”
Visitors will also get to compete in groups of up to 24 to try and gather points “in a series of escalating challenges, each featuring cutting-edge technology until a winner is declared.”
Last August 1, Netflix officially confirmed that the second season of Squid Game is set to premiere on December 26, 2024, while its last season will hit the screen in 2025.
