Squid Game-Style Video Game Potentially in Development

Squid Game has taken the world by storm since it was released on Netflix mere weeks ago. So much [...]

comicbook.com

According to one Tom Henderson, who is an often-reliable source of information when it comes to upcoming video games, a Squid Game style project is currently in the works. Henderson notes that he's not sure which studio might be working on this project, but he says it will clearly stand as an evolution of the battle royale genre. "The future of [battle royale] is coming," he said on social media.

Seriously? Jesus Christ man I am so tired of TikTok and meme culture deciding how these video games are made.

A videogame based off of the other new show on Netflix called "Maid" would be MUCH more interesting.

... Ever heard of Fall Guys?

But I love this concept, so keep 'em coming

 

[Chukhopops]

Wouldn’t that just be Fall Guys with gore?

 

[jaysius]

I haven't watched it, but isn't it about a Battle Royale? We already have those.

 

[Skifi28]

Splatoon 3 was already announced, that's enough squid for most people.

 

[Boss Mog]

I haven't watched it, but isn't it about a Battle Royale? We already have those.

It's more like fall guys than a BR, there's rounds and only those who qualify make it to the following round.

What does Squid Game-style even mean, just making a competitive mini game collection that they somehow want people to get hyped for so they attach a now popular name (and/or gore that naturally does nothing for gameplay) to it for no reason?

I haven't watched it, but isn't it about a Battle Royale?

Nope. It's like Kaiji manga/anime. Dunno why it went so popular, it's a nice watch but nothing ground breaking, deep or so expertly done or anything.

It's like fall guys as others said, but the losers are killed, either by the game itself (fall from height) or just shot after the fact if the game is harmless.

Anyway, already done, in VR too. For one of the games at least.

 

[RoadHazard]

What the fuck does any of that mean? Squid game style game? Can someone translate that into English?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Squid Game AKA babies first death game fiction really broke normies brains huh?

 

[Mercador]

I guess it will be quite a popular halloween costume

 

[YukiOnna]

Danganronpa already exists though...

You are the Maid! Single mom in poverty with no money and up shit creek!

They just change the mask and add some gear to their la casa de papel costume XD

did you not watch Squid Game yet? I mean, watching it explains what is meant...
basically a battle royale with kids games... similar to Fall Guys but, well... more brutality

 

[10101]

Roblox beat them to it…

Literally the day after watching it a couple of weeks ago my daughter was showing me red light / green light Roblox vids

I’d be down for some sort of AAA squid games style game though with 456 odd players - could be a laugh (or a lag fest)!

 

[Keihart]

I kinda like the show but a game about it? nothing really interesting get out of it...
... unless it's made as an ARG.

There were several cool concepts that were kinda BR before, the popularity of the show could make it catch fire, maybe.

 

[deriks]

Am I dreaming or Fall Guys is basically this idea, and it's fun?

 

[kunonabi]

Wouldn’t that just be Fall Guys with gore?

And hopefully better physics.

 

[tkscz]

Fall guys and Mario party already exist

 

[daywarf]

I expect them to create a new genre of horror, social horror

 

[Davevil]

 

[Tommi84]

Hey, developer... Uhmm... The game is already out, it's called 'Fall guys'

 

[Brofist]

Hey, developer... Uhmm... The game is already out, it's called 'Fall guys'

I totally agree. I mean look at what losers Epic looked like releasing Fortnite when PUBG already existed.

 

[Orpheum]

Just go log onto Roblox and play some of the Squid Game stuff there... By the time a larger production releases the hype will be long gone.

 

[MrJTeera]

I totally agree. I mean look at what losers Epic looked like releasing Fortnite when PUBG already existed.

Yeah, bunch of creatively bankrupt moneymakers.

 

[I'm nobody]

Could work if they do it like until dawn

I've always wanted a cube game
.

The 90s version is the best one

 

[CrustyBritches]

Is this like The Running Man for Zoomers?

 

[GymWolf]

Not into party game myself but at least this one sound a bit interesting.

 

[Stitch]

I've always wanted a cube game

The Half Dead games are like Cube

 

[Mercador]

They just change the mask and add some gear to their la casa de papel costume XD

Now that you mentionned it! Can't unsee this now.

 

[KormaChameleon]

More than likely will suck. Just being made as a cheap cash in due to the current hype of the show.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[MrJTeera]

I wish there’s a BR game where your task is to do all the mundane shit in videogames. I’m talking about endless tailing missions, easy quicktime minigames, forced-walking conversations etc.

You can ragequit the game at any time, and whoever last the longest is the winner.

Oh, and the game needs to run on a stable 30 fps as well. No higher than that.

 

[Pejo]

This has been a thing already in gaming/anime/manga as long as I can remember, but I guess this is the first mass market appealing version of it. One thing that I thought Squid Game (the show) did pretty well was the acting. The lead especially conveyed his emotions throughout the show really well until the shitty ending. The concept of last man standing or death games or whatever is nothing new at all. Funniest part is that if this is a decently funded project, it won't be out for 2-5 years anyways, long after people forget about the show.

Where's my Darwin's Game videogame?

 

[GeorgPrime]

... Ever heard of Fall Guys?

But I love this concept, so keep 'em coming

Give me Fall Guys with blood and splatter lol

 

[Ebele]

Fall Guys

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Smash TV remake? Hell yeah

 

[Shakka43]

I started hearing about this squid game show last week (still don't know what it even is about) and now not an hour passes by without me seeing the name some where.

 

[Bryank75]

Danganronpa already exists though...

Yup, heavy inspiration was obviously taken from Dangonronpa in the formulation and aesthetic of the TV show.

 

[PSYGN]

Too late, you can play it on Roblox already.

 

[A.Romero]

I think it's a no brainer.

I think the Mario Party clone Pummel Party is close to that. The board concept with minigames is great. Add no revive and a more serious tone. Add games that are not necessarily skill based but also luck and wit.

It would be a great game.

Don't care about the license, though. Squid Games did a great thing for that genre by giving it mass appeal but other than that it's not the best example of it.

Kaiji was way more interesting and exhilarating, for example.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

These type of announcements are so meaningless.

 

[Punished Miku]

Honestly thought the show was already a heavy homage to Zero Escape and Danganronpa. Its a very gamey show.

 

[celsowmbr]

Round 6 you mean

 

[BaneIsPain]

Make battle royale movie game. That would be awesome to see head blown off once the timer is reset to zero.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Seriously? Jesus Christ man I am so tired of TikTok and meme culture deciding how these video games are made.

Tik tok and meme culture? It’s a tv show unless I’m missing something here?

Squid Gane is essentially Fall guys so this isn’t really new.
