It's been nigh impossible to be online these past few weeks without bumping into a mention of Squid Game. Rather than being the surprise aquatic sequel to indie pixel brawler Duck Game - though that would be amazing - Squid Game is a Netflix sensation that took the world by storm. Now, one fan has envisioned what it would look like if the show crossed over with Genshin Impact.
In a world where free to play multiplayer titles fueled by a microtransaction business model are the hottest and most profitable, and companies far and wide are trying to get a slice of the games-as-a-service model, crossovers have become all the more commonplace. For better or worse, Fortnite is still the crossover king, but Genshin Impact has already tested the waters with a Horizon Forbidden West cross promo.
While a real crossover between Genshin Impact and Squid Game seems unlikely to say the least - the tone, style, subject matter and settings are so vastly different and anachronistic to each other - that hasn't stopped the fandom from speculating. One particularly crafty fan whipped up a little custom video showing off what such a crossover might look like in practice.
