Squid Game: Characters and Events Unveiled for Season 2

Squid Game: Unleashed is celebrating Season Two with a massive content drop! New characters, a new map, and exciting challenges await. Plus, exclusive rewards are up for grabs by watching the new episodes!

Netflix's surprising holiday release of Squid Game: Unleashed, a battle royale game based on the hit Korean drama, was free to all players, subscribers and non-subscribers alike. Now, with the Season Two update, they're incentivizing viewership with in-game rewards!

What's new for existing players? Starting January 3rd, a new map inspired by the Mingle mini-game from Squid Game Season Two launches. Playable avatars Geum-Ja, Yong-Sik, and rapper Thanos will also debut throughout January.

Geum-Ja and Thanos each have special in-game events on January 3rd and 9th respectively, allowing players to unlock them. Viewers of Season Two can earn in-game Cash and Wild Tokens. Watching up to seven episodes unlocks the exclusive Binni Binge-Watcher outfit!

Here's the January content schedule for Squid Game: Unleashed:

• January 3rd: Mingle map and Geum-Ja character arrive. The Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event (until January 9th) challenges players to complete Mingle mini-games and collect Dalgona tins.
• January 9th: Thanos joins the game with his own recruitment event, Thanos’ Red Light Challenge (until January 14th). Eliminate players using knives to unlock him.
• January 16th: Yong-Sik, the final new character in this wave, makes his in-game debut.

Squid Game: Unleashed could be a game-changer for Netflix's gaming ambitions. The free-to-play model was a bold move, but rewarding subscribers and encouraging viewership is a clever strategy to boost both the game and the show's success.
