Fortnite Officially Confirms Squid Game Collaboration

Epic Games has finally unveiled one of the most highly anticipated crossovers in Fortnite history — a collaboration with Netflix's global hit Squid Game. This partnership was announced during the State of Unreal 2025 presentation and will officially launch on June 27, 2025, bringing fresh content to Fortnite’s ever-evolving universe.

🧠 Squid Game Meets Fortnite Creative

Fortnite Creative has long been a sandbox for imaginative recreations of popular IPs, and Squid Game is no exception. Fans have spent years designing their own versions of the deadly games from the show. One standout example is Octo Game 2 by creator sundaycw, which brilliantly replicates multiple Squid Game challenges and settings — offering players a competitive experience true to the Netflix series.

But while fan-made maps have captured the spirit of Squid Game, the upcoming official collaboration takes things to the next level.

🛠️ Squid Game Comes to UEFN on June 27

With this new partnership, official Squid Game assets will be introduced into Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), giving creators unprecedented tools to build even more immersive and authentic experiences. The UEFN update launches June 27, just a few weeks into Chapter 6 Season 3.

This means creators will finally be able to design maps and challenges using elements directly from the show — from iconic visuals like the Red Light, Green Light arena to the eerie masks worn by the Pink Guards.

👕 Will We See Squid Game Skins in the Item Shop?

Many fans are now wondering: Will Squid Game cosmetics arrive in Battle Royale or other Fortnite modes? Players have long requested character outfits like the contestants' tracksuits and the Pink Guards’ uniforms, which would make standout additions to the Fortnite Item Shop. Although not officially confirmed yet, this kind of crossover usually brings cosmetic bundles.

Adding fuel to the speculation, the Fortnite Competitive account commented on the Squid Game teaser post, prompting theories that Epic could be planning a competitive event inspired by the show.

💰 Could a Real Squid Game-Style Competition Be Coming?

The potential for a Squid Game-themed competitive event or tournament is generating significant buzz. Given Fortnite's history of hosting prize events — including real-money tournaments — it wouldn't be far-fetched to imagine a virtual Squid Game-style challenge where players compete for V-Bucks or even cash prizes, echoing the original series’ high-stakes format.

📅 Key Date: Squid Game x Fortnite Launches June 27, 2025

With the introduction of Squid Game into Fortnite's ecosystem, fans can look forward to:

• Official assets in UEFN
• Creative maps inspired by the series
• Possible cosmetics and competitive tie-ins

Whether you're a Creative mastermind or a cosmetics collector, this collaboration is shaping up to be one of Fortnite’s most exciting crossovers yet.
