Squid Game, after the Netflix TV series think about the video game

(ANSA) - MILAN, OCTOBER 15 - In just over two weeks, the Netflix TV series Squid Games has become the most watched ever on the streaming platform, bypassing Bridgerton. The streaming company would thus intend to expand the franchise, working on a new product inspired by the protagonists' alleys, a video game. Minyoung Kim, vice president of content of Netflix's Asian-Pacific division, said unofficially in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "We have received - he said - an overwhelming volume of requests with the aim of expanding the Squid Game brand. The role of my team is to really examine all these opportunities, to create a concrete roadmap. We are examining different areas, from video games to products. consumption and more,to really understand what we can bring to our audience and increase their loyalty to the series, remaining faithful to the world that our creator has built. "From the rumors, it is clear that it would be a 'battle royale' video game, similar to the famous Fortnitee Pubg , which would be well suited to the plots of Squid Game, even if, at least for the moment, it is not known what the title will consist of and if it will really be launched. Netflix had announced, months ago, that it wanted to enter the video game sector, making video games available within their app, based on original series. To date, Android users can already access some games hosted on both the Play Store and the Netflix app, although they are not exclusive to Reed Hastings' company. (ANSA).
