Squid Game: Unleashed is celebrating Season Two with a massive content update! Get ready for new characters, a new map, exciting challenges, and exclusive rewards for watching the new episodes.
Netflix's surprising decision to make the battle royale game free to all players, even non-subscribers, is paying off. This new update, launching January 3rd, adds even more incentive to play, offering rewards for watching the show.
What's new in the game? First up is a map inspired by the Mingle mini-game from Squid Game Season Two. Three new playable characters—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 to unlock them. And here's the best part: watching Squid Game Season Two unlocks in-game Cash and Wild Tokens! Watching up to seven episodes even unlocks the Binni Binge-Watcher outfit!
Here's the January Update Schedule:
- January 3rd: New Mingle map and Geum-Ja character arrive. The Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event begins, challenging players to complete Mingle mini-games and collect Dalgona tins (event runs until January 9th).
- January 9th: Thanos joins the game, with his own recruitment event, the Thanos’ Red Light Challenge. Players must eliminate opponents using knives to unlock him (event runs until January 14th).
- January 16th: Yong-Sik becomes the final new character added in this update.
Squid Game: Unleashed is proving to be a strategic move for Netflix's gaming ambitions. Offering free access to all, while rewarding subscribers and encouraging them to watch the show, is a clever way to boost both the game and the series.
