Additional cast members include the Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak, Bachelor Nation's Hannah Godwin and Dylan Efron, who recently lifted the Dancing with the Stars trophy.

Viper, who appeared on the second season of Squid Game: The Challenge, was selected by fans to return to the competition as the winner of the second chance fan vote.

Viper previously told Tudum, that he plans to cause "total chaos" in the game when he returns. "I did learn that every single decision should be considered in great detail," he said. "I will surely use a microscope with every choice I make."

It is inspired by the original series and sees players face elimination during each game – but what remains the same is that only one player can emerge victorious...

Details on when The VIP Challenge will come to the streamer are yet to be announced.
