Developed by Boss Fight Entertainment and launched in November 2024, Squid Game: Unleashed was a huge success, exceeding 10 million downloads via Google Play. The title is also available on iOS.
Unfortunately, this success was not enough to save the studio, which was shut down by Netflix last week. The news were confirmed by David Rippy, former CEO of Boss Fight Entertainment, in a message posted on LinkedIn.
« Hi everyone – well, word has gotten around quickly about Boss Fight’s closure. Thanks, everyone who reached out today. Rough news, for sure, but I’m very grateful for the time we had at Netflix. We worked with some awesome people and made many games that I’m very proud of, including Squid Game Unleased which hit #1 in 26 countries.
You’ll see lots of Boss Fighters with similar posts. Please consider them if you have any open roles – they are outstanding people and true professionals through-and-through. As for Bill, Scott and me – we’re going to take a little breather before tackling whatever is next.
