Netflix Closes Boss Fight, Maker of 'Squid Game: Unleashed'

Boss Fight's shutdown was confirmed by co-founder David Rippy and development director David Luehmann in LinkedIn posts, and Netflix did not provide comment. Squid Game: Unleashed and the Netflix Stories titles will continue to be available on the platform despite the studio’s closure. The studio had roughly 80 staff listed on LinkedIn, and it remains unclear whether employees will be laid off or reassigned within Netflix Games. Squid Game: Unleashed drew strong engagement, including more than 10 million downloads and No. 1 chart placements in dozens of countries. Under games chief Alain Tascan, Netflix is emphasizing party, narrative, kids and mainstream titles with a heavier TV focus, with multiple party games slated for release this holiday season.
