Netflix has confirmed that a new multiplayer game set in the Squid Game universe will be released in 2024. We’ve just gotten our full reveal via gamescom Opening Night Live 2024. Here’s your first looks and more. 

quid Game game has been known since October 2023, when the Wall Street Journal reported on Netflix’s gaming efforts at the time and stated, “Over the next several months, Netflix subscribers will be able to play games on their mobile devices based on hits such as Korean thriller ‘Squid Game,’” adding that a game based on Wednesday was in development, in addition to discussions around Extraction, Sherlock Holmes (we suspect they meant Enola Holmes), and Black Mirror.

A new update on the game came courtesy of the Q2 2024 shareholder letter, which details that their gaming efforts are still early on, but they’ve seen success by picking up Grand Theft Auto and releasing games based on its IP. It cited Netflix Stories as a good example, with Too Hot To Handle also pulling huge download numbers on Android and iOS games.

At Gamescom, we got our first official trailer for the new game, detailing the art style and what we can expect from the gameplay. 

A new website set up by Netflix to promote the game gives a full description of the game, although sadly, it doesn’t provide any more information on the release date.
