Recently, foreign media Gamespot reported that an anonymous employee's LinkedIn post showed that Boss Fight, the production team of the mobile game "Squid Game: Unleashed" adapted from "Squid Game", has been shut down by Netflix. The reason is not yet clear.

"Squid Game: Deus Ex" is a multiplayer online competitive MOBA game that will be launched on December 17, 2024.David Rippy, co-founder and former CEO of Boss Fight, said: "News about Boss Fight's closure is spreading fast. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me today. It's certainly terrible news, but I'm very grateful for the time we had at Netflix."

Netflix acquired Boss Fight in March 2022. At that time, a senior executive pointed out that the studio had rich experience in making games and would help accelerate the ability to provide high-quality games to Netflix members, allowing users to enjoy games anytime and anywhere.Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters also used "Squidward: Deus Ex" as an example, indicating that Netflix hopes to produce more such games based on its own film and television IP in the future.But three years after the acquisition, due to changes in Netflix's game strategy, the studio was closed.
