Squid Game: Unleashed is celebrating the release of season two with a wave of new content! Get ready for new characters, a fresh map, and exciting challenges. Plus, exclusive rewards await those who watch the new episodes.
Netflix's surprising holiday release of Squid Game: Unleashed – a battle royale game based on the hit Korean drama – was free to all, even non-subscribers. Now, with this new content drop, they're cleverly incentivizing non-users to join the fun and rewarding subscribers for watching the show.
What's in store for current players? Starting January 3rd, a new map inspired by the Mingle mini-game from season two will be added. Playable avatars Geum-Ja, Yong-Sik, and rapper Thanos will also debut throughout January.
Geum-Ja and Thanos will each have special in-game events on January 3rd and 9th respectively, allowing players to unlock them. And for those watching the show, there are additional rewards! Watching episodes of Squid Game season two earns in-game Cash and Wild Tokens. Watching up to seven episodes unlocks the Binni Binge-Watcher outfit!
Here's the January content roadmap for Squid Game: Unleashed:
- January 3rd: New Mingle map launches alongside Geum-Ja. The Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event (until January 9th) challenges players to complete Mingle mini-games and collect Dalgona tins.
- January 9th: Thanos arrives with his own recruitment event, the Thanos’ Red Light Challenge (until January 14th). Eliminate players using knives to unlock this character.
- January 16th: Yong-Sik joins the game as the final new character in this update.
Squid Game: Unleashed is proving to be a significant step for Netflix in the gaming world. The free-to-play launch was bold, but rewarding subscribers and encouraging viewing is a smart strategy to boost both the game and the show's popularity.
