Squid Game: Unleashed is celebrating the release of season two with a wave of exciting new content! Get ready for new characters, a brand-new map, and engaging challenges. Plus, you can earn exclusive in-game rewards just by watching the new episodes!
Netflix's surprise holiday release of Squid Game: Unleashed—a free-to-play battle royale experience—was a bold move, even extending access to non-subscribers. Now, with this season two update, they're doubling down, enticing players with rewards tied to watching the show.
Starting January 3rd, dive into a new map inspired by the thrilling Mingle mini-game from Squid Game season two. You'll also meet three new playable characters: Geum-Ja, Yong-Sik, and Thanos (the rapper, not the Avenger!).
Geum-Ja and Thanos each have special in-game events running from January 3rd to 9th and January 9th to 14th respectively, offering unique ways to unlock them. And for those watching the show, there are additional rewards! Watching episodes of Squid Game season two earns you in-game Cash and Wild Tokens. Watching up to seven episodes unlocks the stylish Binni Binge-Watcher outfit!
Here's the January content calendar for Squid Game: Unleashed:
- January 3rd: The Mingle map launches alongside Geum-Ja. Participate in the Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event (until January 9th), completing Mingle-inspired mini-games and collecting Dalgona tins.
- January 9th: Thanos enters the fray with his own recruitment event, the Thanos’ Red Light Challenge (until January 14th). Eliminate players using knives to earn this character.
- January 16th: Yong-Sik joins the roster as the final new character in this update.
Squid Game: Unleashed is proving to be a significant venture for Netflix in the gaming world. The initial free-to-play release was a bold step, but rewarding subscribers and incentivizing viewing through in-game rewards is a clever strategy to boost both the game and the show's popularity.
