When it comes to adapting their most famous original series, Netflix has been a little hit or miss. Sure, there are pixel-art adventures like Stranger Things, but I'm not sure how well Too Hot to Handle is doing with the kind of people who find dating shows fascinating, no offence. But for those looking for a bit more action and violence, the reveal that Squid Game: Unleashed is set to hit Netflix on December 17th will be a welcome one!

Pitting you against your friends and strangers, Squid Game: Unleashed throws you into the iconic, chilling death contest, although this time with a bit more of an amusing veneer. Whether that's good or bad depends on your perspective on the show, but it certainly looks to capitalise on the popularity of Hwang Don-hyuk's hit series.

Taking you through iconic scenarios from the show, with a few new ones dropped in for good measure, Squid Game: Unleashed could be the big hit Netflix has been waiting for. Dropping right before season two of the show appears on December 26th, you can pre-register for Squid Game: Unleashed right now!

There's definitely something to be said for the irony of a show about the dehumanization of people and the exploitation of their deaths for entertainment being turned into a multiplayer battler. Yet at the same time, from a purely detached perspective, it makes sense, and it looks as if Netflix has finally realized that attracting a dedicated multiplayer audience could keep fans returning to their service even if they reject some of their streaming content.

Still, while you wait, why not check out some other new releases? Our own Jack Brassel has given a glowing review to Honey Grove, a calming gardening simulation.
