'Red Light, Green Light' From 'Squid Game' Recreated on Unreal Engine

The deadly "Red Light, Green Light" in the hit Netflix series "Squid Game" has been recreated on Unreal Engine, allowing fans to experience it—even just in a video game.

"Squid Game" is, by far, Netflix's biggest original series launch, dethroning "Bridgerton," which held the title since its 2017 release. The South Korean series has taken the world by storm since dropping on the platform on Sept. 17. Its popularity has even inspired a lot of people to recreate its challenges, even in existing video games in the industry, including "Overwatch" and "Roblox."

One programmer decided to up the ante by recreating the series' "Red Light, Green Light" game using Epic Games' Unreal Engine.

YouTuber Futurize shared the project on the UnrealEngine subreddit where it currently has more than a thousand upvotes. Based on the video, the "Red Light, Green Light" Unreal Engine version has perfectly captured the game from the series.

The only thing lacking in the game, so far, is the famous green tracksuit worn by the contestants. Aside from that, every part of the game appears authentic, from the field walls to the iconic menacing giant doll.

Just like in the hit series, not all players in the game can cross the finish line, with several of them getting eliminated only a few minutes into the game. To make the experience more exciting for players, the programmer made things in the video game version more lifelike. For instance, each time a player is shot down, players can see blood and very realistic-looking ragdoll physics.

The game has been heaping praises on Reddit, with some users suggesting the creator turn the "Red Light, Green Light" into a full multiplayer title once it is complete.

Unfortunately, the game is not yet available for everyone, and those who want to play it can just stick to active modes available in other video games such as "Roblox."

Interestingly, it appears Netflix is planning to expand "Squid Game" into consumer products and even a video game if the series continues to be successful.

"We are looking at multiple different areas — from games, consumer products and others — to really figure out what we can bring to our audiences to increase their affinity toward our content and give them more joy, while staying true to the world that our creator has built," Minyoung Kim, Netflix's VP of content for Asia, said in an interview with Hollywood Reporter.

Rumors saying the streaming platform is venturing into the video game industry have been rife since last year, so it would no longer be surprising if gamers would one day see a "Squid Game" video game.
