Netflix Shows off Its Squid Game Video Game at Gamescom 2024, and It’s Not the Bloody Good Time That Fans Wanted
After the success of the Squid Game show on Netflix, players were utterly disappointed with the Unleashed trailer at Gamescom.
- Squid Game created a new history on Netflix by making an almost untouchable record.
- While fans have been waiting for Season 2, they suddenly received a mobile game trailer based on this massively popular show.
- However, the trailer for Squid Game: Unleashed has disappointed them a lot, as the game has no blood and gives up on the scary vibe.
Gamescom 2024 has already revealed loads of exciting trailers and announcements. There are still a few days left before the event officially ends, but fans have already been overflowing with updates. Though a lot of announcements and trailers have won their hearts, a lot of them have even disappointed gamers. Of course, the Netflix Squid Game: Unleashed trailer is among the disappointing ones.
While players have been patiently waiting for Squid Game Season 2 to launch on Netflix, they instead received the trailer for Squid Game: Unleashed, a mobile game based on one of Netflix’s most successful dystopian survival thriller series. However, the excitement soon changed to dissatisfaction after the trailer came.
Squid Game: Unleashed Trailer Disappointed Fans to a Great Extent
After Squid Game was released on Netflix in 2021, it reached an unexpected height and became the most-watched show on Netflix, with 1.65 billion viewing hours in its first four weeks. It broke all the records and created a milestone that is still intact. Therefore, fans eagerly waiting for another season of this show is not surprising.
The release date for Season 2 has already been announced. Fans will be able to experience another scary season of the show on December 26, 2024. But before that, Netflix announced an upcoming mobile game based on the show that can only be accessed on the Netflix app.
Up to this point, things were all right, but as the trailer for Squid Game: Unleashed unfolded at Gamescom, all the excitement started washing away. Though the trailer revealed a lot of things, fans didn’t find the horror vibe that was the USP of Squid Game.
Even the entire trailer has no blood at all. It’s so neat and clean that it seemed to be made for kids and teenagers. Players immediately started criticizing and mocking this game.
Squid Game or Fall Guys: Fans’ Questions After Watching the Latest Trailer
Squid Game: Unleashed failed to win the hearts of fans. From the very beginning, the animation and colorful world of the game look childish, which doesn’t match the show or the theme. Even the obstacles and the way in-game characters try to avoid them immediately bring to mind two renowned games: Stumble Guys and Fall Guys.
Players on X have jumped into criticizing and mocking the game. Most of them satirically compared it to Fall Guys.
This thing doesn’t stop here, as players started calling it Fall Guys in Squid Game clothing.
Some players even mentioned that it used to be Squid Game, but now it has become a cartoon.
Well, some frustrated players mentioned that they lost interest after watching the trailer.
As the feedback reveals, fans didn’t like the trailer at all, especially because it completely ignored the horror vibe of the show.
Therefore, how this game will perform after release is a big question at this point.
Anyway, while waiting for this game, players shouldn’t miss some impressive trailers that Gamescom 2024 has revealed in the last two days.
