The game arrives on Dec. 17 (<em>Squid Game<\/em> season 2 premieres Dec. 26). Earlier this week, Polygon sat down with game director Bill Jackson to talk about <em>Unleashed<\/em> and the process of adapting <em>Squid Game<\/em> into a video game that leans on the dark humor of the original show, but hopefully adds more fun into the equation than the characters on the TV show could ever hope to have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For one thing, the <em>Squid Game<\/em> TV show characters never know how the games work before they start playing. They\u2019re just thrown into a deadly situation and have to figure out how to survive as they go along, often with several casualties involved in the process. In video game form, Jackson emphasizes, players will be able to face these challenges over and over and therefore have the opportunity to get better at them each time \u2014 and even compete to climb the leaderboards. \u201cIn that world where everybody\u2019s playing, you actually can get better and move up through a ladder, and get a next league, and move up to better competition,\u201d Jackson told me on our video call this week. \u201cOr you can be a casual player and just kind of hang out and not worry about that. And it\u2019s really up to you. So it is still for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Of course, that \u201ceveryone\u201d doesn\u2019t mean this game is family-friendly \u2014 this is <em>Squid Game<\/em>, after all, so it\u2019s got gore. But the video game also has a somewhat cartoonish aesthetic to help ease that aspect (which is yet another reason it\u2019s a less harrowing experience than the show). \u201cYou don\u2019t want to create a world where players don\u2019t want to be,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cYou want a place where they want to be. So that started to lean us towards a more stylistic art style. And yes, we did have some earlier darker versions of that art style that were nixed as we worked through the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/how-squid-game-unleasheds-team-turned-its-dark-source-material-into-skill-based-thrills-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When it comes to depicting \u201cthe brutality of the world\u201d of <em>Squid Game<\/em>, Jackson went on, \u201cThere are moments in this game where you can be thrown through the air in a fairly graphic way, and if your character hits the wall, there might be a blood splatter on the wall.\u201d But the game\u2019s physics are still going to feel good, he assured me, because this is a skill-based game as well: \u201cWe wanted the control to be a little bit more accurate instead of feeling what we used to call \u2018floaty.\u2019 We wanted you to be able to have a little more direct control over the character. [\u2026] We didn\u2019t want the characters to feel unreal and have their physics feel unreal, so it feels accurate to that. It\u2019s a fun, more accurate game than kind of the floaty ball or capsule shapes that you\u2019re probably used to in the genre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Unleashed<\/em> will include deadly schoolyard games from the first season of <em>Squid Game<\/em>; some of these games will be very familiar to any players who\u2019ve seen the show, while others had to be adapted to fit the video game format. For example, the game Dalgona \u2014 also known as the honeycomb game, in which <em>Squid Game<\/em> characters have to carve out a specifically shaped piece of candy \u2014 takes on a different form in <em>Squid Game: Unleashed<\/em>. \u201cWhat we do is, we inspire a level by that one,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cAnd with Dalgona, you\u2019re kind of skating the shape out on a level. And then you fall through. It\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cSo it\u2019s inspired by [<em>Squid Game<\/em>] sometimes, or it\u2019s direct in some cases. And then there are completely new ones that are either inspired by something else, or really childhood experiences,\u201d Jackson continued. \u201cThey\u2019re basically the juxtaposition of a childhood experience that maybe we\u2019ve all had around the world, coupled with this kind of brutal penalty for messing up.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/how-squid-game-unleasheds-team-turned-its-dark-source-material-into-skill-based-thrills-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/how-squid-game-unleasheds-team-turned-its-dark-source-material-into-skill-based-thrills-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As for <em>Squid Game<\/em> season 2, Jackson and his team have also created levels based on the games that will be introduced there \u2014 but players don\u2019t need to worry about spoilers. <em>Unleashed<\/em> won\u2019t be releasing that content until later on, Jackson assured me: \u201cA week after season 2 goes live on the series side, there\u2019s going to be season 2 games in our game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That\u2019s all possible because the game developers have been able to be in direct communication with the <em>Squid Game<\/em> team over the course of this process. \u201cThe great thing is we have incredible collaboration and access to that stuff,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cSo when we see the script, even, we can say back, \u2018These work,\u2019 like I mentioned, \u2018These are direct, easy to do.\u2019 \u2018This one, we can\u2019t figure out how to do,\u2019 or \u2018We have to inspire something from it.\u2019 And that conversation happens at that level. [\u2026] We\u2019re collaborating with the actual creators and with the marketing team to understand how all this will fit together when we finally get to launch it in our game. But we\u2019re not going to spoil anything. It will not happen until season 2 has been revealed to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/game-awards-tga\/495597\/squid-game-unleashed-free-to-play-release-date\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boss Fight and Netflix Games debuted Squid Game: Unleashed at Gamescom 2024, and the team behind the 32-player battle-meets-party game reemerged at The Game Awards 2024 to announce that the game will be free to everyone \u2014 even if you don\u2019t have a Netflix subscription.
