Squid Game Fans Hit With More Bad News

Fans of the Squid Game franchise, especially those who enjoy video games, received disappointing news: Netflix has shut down Boss Fight Entertainment, the team that created the Squid Game: Unleashed game.

Turning Squid Game into a video game makes perfect sense – the show is essentially built around a series of challenges, much like minigames. This idea isn’t new, as similar concepts have been used before. The main difference is the high stakes in Squid Game: failing a minigame means certain death.

Squid Game: Unleashed’s Studio Has Been Closed By Netflix

In 2022, Netflix bought Boss Fight Entertainment, a game studio, to start creating games based on its shows and movies. This was part of a bigger move into the gaming world, which also included a game based on the popular series The Queen’s Gambit. In 2024, Boss Fight Entertainment released Squid Game: Unleashed for Android and iOS, letting mobile gamers experience the intense challenges of the show.

Netflix has shut down Boss Fight Entertainment, but players can still enjoy Squid Game: Unleashed online. This closure highlights a concerning pattern within the industry.
