Less than a month on from its arrival on Netflix and there have already been🥂 official rumblings that Sq♎uid Game could be turned into a video game.
Squid Game has been such a massive hit that it is already on track to become Netflix's most-watched show. Honestly, it has probably surpassed that milestone by this point and Netflix just hasn't confirmed it yet. It certainly sounds like everyone behind the scenes at the streaming giant is happy with what they're seeing as those in charge of whatever Squid Game offers up next are being bugged from every possible direction.
Netflix executive Minyoung Kim explained as much during a lengthy interview all about Squid Game and its success with . “We have all these other experts looking at different areas of potential. We’ve been getting an overwhelming but happy volume of requests from the o🐈rganization,” Kim revealed.
While a lot of those dicussions will have been debating the potential of Squid Game getting a second season, Kim also mentions a few other projects Netflix is looking🗹 into, including a video game. “We are looking at multiple different a🔯reas — from games, consumer product, and others — to really figure out what we can bring to our audiences,” Kim says.
Confirmation from Kim that a Squid Game video game is really something Netflix is considering comes at the same time as Tom Henderson claims one is ♌already in development. Henderson is known for what are usually pretty accurate Battlefield leaks. He tweeted that a “Squid Game type of game” is already in development, but is unsure of the studio behind it. Perhaps Netflix is a few steps ahead of where Kim claims with the project.
When it comes to converting a TV show into a game, it doesn't get much easier than Squid Game. Depending on how in-depth its creators want to get with it, of course. It could simply be a battle royale game like the show itself. Think Fall Guys but if you fall off See-Saw, you don't spawn at the last checkpoint you passed. Instead, an NPC in a creepy costume struts up and shoots you in the face.
