A new Squid Game video game to celebrate the launch of season 2

“With deadly challenges that will remind you of the “Squid Game” series and new games inspired by classic childhood activities, each round is a sinister return to childhood. Will you come out of this recreation alive?” indicates the American giant. And a small clarification which is important: No paid subscription is required, including a subscription to the Netflix service.
The objective could not be simpler, namely to survive the various trials which take the form of activities from our childhood, such as “1, 2, 3 Sun” or even the “obstacle course“. Netflix has already confirmed that the game will be available to everyone for a limited time only, without revealing more about it.
For the American giant, this is obviously a great marketing operation since not only does it aim to allow millions of users to test the “games” from Netflix, while offering a promotional campaign worthy of the name for the Squid Game series. Netflix remains confident about its future in the video game market, the group having notably launched the independent game Monument Valley 3 on December 10.
