Squid Game: Unleashed set to receive new characters and events to celebrate season two of the show

Squid Game: Unleashed is celebrating the release of season two with a massive content update! New characters, a new map, and exciting challenges await players starting January 3rd. Even better? Non-Netflix subscribers can enjoy the game for free, and everyone can earn exclusive rewards by watching the new season!

What's new in the game? Get ready for a map inspired by the "Mingle" mini-game from Squid Game season two. Three new playable characters are also joining the roster throughout January: Geum-Ja, Yong-Sik, and rapper Thanos.

Geum-Ja and Thanos each have special in-game events running from January 3rd-9th and January 9th-14th respectively, offering unique ways to unlock them. And here's the best part: watching episodes of Squid Game season two unlocks in-game Cash and Wild Tokens! Watching up to seven episodes even unlocks the exclusive "Binni Binge-Watcher" outfit!

Here's the January content calendar for Squid Game: Unleashed:

• January 3rd: New "Mingle" map and Geum-Ja character unlock event (Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event, runs until January 9th).
• January 9th: Thanos character arrives with his own unlock event (Thanos’ Red Light Challenge, runs until January 14th).
• January 16th: Yong-Sik joins the game as the final new character in this update.

Netflix's strategy with Squid Game: Unleashed is undeniably bold. Offering free access to all players and rewarding Netflix subscribers who watch the show is a clever way to boost both the game's popularity and the show's viewership. This could mark a significant turning point for Netflix's gaming ambitions.
