It seems that Overwatch also wants to join a collaboration with the squid game

On October 1, Korea s Youtube Overwatch channel launched a very intriguing video, which caused a sense of curiosity among his fanatics. In fact, the video, filmed in a single plane, shows what seems to be a map on which different symbols appear: the characteristic circle of the Overwatch logo, a triangle and then a square. Mysterious symbols for the general public, much less for Netflix subscribers . Then an obvious link appears between the videogame and the fashion series: the squid game .

As if you live on another planet, the squid game is a Korean series produced by Netflix from which, since its launch on September 17, it has been spoken throughout the world. This explosive cocktail of suspense, blood and suspense has seduced the Netflix Audience and is now at the top of the lists of pilforms.

What is the connection between the Korean and Overwatch series?

First point: these famous symbols. A circle, a triangle and a square, forms that are several times in Squid Game, in the same order. In fact, these have become the emblems of the series because they represent the logo of the game.

Second point: background music. Although visually, the only plane is fixed on the map and its symbols, the sound background provides more information. It is possible to listen to a woman while taking a melody of infant music. This choice of music is not arbitrary since it is emblematic music of the series, which can be heard several times during the different episodes.

The link is now obvious.

Specifically, what does this mean?

It is not the first time that a videogame is inspired by a series or a film for communication. The link between the cinematographic world and the world of videogames is often done because in fact it represents a bridge between two giants in terms of influence and notoriety. This constitutes, for the producers of films and series, a true trampoline because it allows to make it known by a new type of community, very active in networks.

At least, it is a recipe for Netflix that works. The US platform, accustomed to adapting video games to movies or series, is now embarking on a collaboration with several videogames. Previously, Netflix and its series The paper house had appeared in some games like Rainbow Six Siege where a special bustling event was carried out. The series also appeared in Watch Dogs: Legion, with new outfits and a new map available for the occasion. It is also common to see masks related to certain films when they are released in Fortnite. This popularization of the link between these two industries is being very advantageous and, therefore, allows the creation of a completely new universe that brings together several communities.

What can we expect from this possible collaboration?

A collaboration between Netflix and Blizzard Entertainment is more than conceivable. However, it seems that the event is only accessible for Korean players, since the video was published only on the Korean Youtube channel of the game.

In addition, the object of this probable association is still very vague. New weapons? New Skins? Some new information about overwatch 2? We can expect more information on the subject in the coming days.
