’****** dystopian survival thriller series.

As the trailer unfolded, it became clear that this wasn’t just another cash-grab tie-in. Instead, Squid Game Unleashed seems to be taking some serious cues from a certain bean-filled battle royale game we all know and love.

Squid Game Unleashed: Fall Guys with a Deadly Twist

The similarities to Fall Guys were obvious from the moment the trailer debuted at Gamescom 2024’s Opening Night Live. From colorful obstacle courses to chaotic multiplayer action, it’s clear that the developers have been taking notes from Mediatonic’****** game.

But don’t let the vibrant visuals fool you—this is still Squid Game we’re talking about! The game’s tagline, “You win some. You **** some,” makes it clear that the stakes are much higher than a simple stumble off a see-saw:

You win some. You **** some. Squid Game: Unleashed is an new mobile game based on the hit series. Team up with friends and enemies in a 32-player party royale showdown and race through deadly obstacles to prove your skills and claim ultimate glory.

With 32-player matches, the title promises the same frantic, every-bean-for-themselves action that made Fall Guys such a hit. But instead of just being eliminated, losers might find themselves facing a much darker fate.

While the game looks promising, some fans are questioning the timing of its release. As one X user succinctly put it:

It’s a sentiment that’s hard to argue with. The Squid Game phenomenon took the world by storm in 2021, and while the show’s popularity hasn’t exactly waned, one can’t help but wonder if this game might have made a ******* splash if it had been released closer to the series’ debut.

Still, the game seems to be bringing plenty to the table:

With deadly challenges you’ll recognize from “Squid Game,” the series, and more new games inspired by classic childhood activities, each round is a dark trip down memory lane.

Can you make it through playtime alive?

The mobile platform could also open up some interesting possibilities. Could we see real-time events tied to new episodes of the show (with Season 2 on its way)? Or perhaps seasonal challenges based on holidays around the world?

Whatever the case, it’s clear that the game is aiming to be more than just another branded mobile game. By taking inspiration from Fall Guys and combining it with the dark allure of the show, the developers might just have a hit on their hands—even if it’s arriving a bit later than some fans might have hoped.
