Squid Game: Unleashed set to receive new characters and events to celebrate season two of the show

By GeorgeJan 04,2025

Squid Game: Unleashed celebrates Season 2 with a wave of fresh content! Get ready for new characters, a brand-new map, and exciting challenges. Plus, earn exclusive in-game rewards just by watching the new episodes!

Netflix's surprise holiday gift—making the battle royale game free for everyone, even non-subscribers—continues with this content drop designed to attract new players and reward existing ones.

Starting January 3rd, experience a new map inspired by the "Mingle" mini-game from Squid Game Season 2. Playable characters Geum-Ja, Yong-Sik, and rapper Thanos will also debut throughout January.

Unlock Geum-Ja and Thanos through special in-game events on January 3rd and 9th respectively. And here's the best part: watch Squid Game Season 2 episodes to earn in-game Cash and Wild Tokens! Watching up to seven episodes unlocks the exclusive Binni Binge-Watcher outfit.

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

  • January 3rd: New Mingle map launches alongside Geum-Ja. Participate in the Dalgona Mash Up Collection Event (until January 9th) featuring Mingle-inspired mini-games and Dalgona tin collection.
  • January 9th: Thanos joins the fray! Complete Thanos’ Red Light Challenge (until January 14th) using knives to eliminate opponents and unlock him.
  • January 16th: Yong-Sik, the final new character, arrives!

Squid Game: Unleashed might be a game-changer for Netflix's gaming strategy. The free-to-play model, coupled with the incentive to watch the show for in-game rewards, cleverly links the game to its source material and encourages Netflix subscriptions.
