Netflix Games - Squid Game: Unleashed (... & Unreleased project)
Squid Game: Unleashed is a networked multiplayer battle royal for Android, iOS, Samsung mobile devices, and Google Chromebooks. Our initial release was tied to Season 2 of Squid Game but we also featured a significant update tied to Season 3 of Squid Game.
