Fortnite x Squid Game Collab ⇒ Unlock Skins & Secrets Now

The long-awaited Fortnite x Squid Game collaboration has officially launched, combining the global phenomenon of Netflix’s Squid Game with one of the gaming industry’s most content-rich platforms. This crossover introduces immersive gameplay elements, visual references to the hit series, and major updates tied into broader Fortnite lore via the Chapter 6 Season 3 Super update. From new skins and map changes to blitz-paced mode enhancements and story-driven mini-events, there’s more in this patch than meets the eye.

Squid Game Enters the Fortnite Universe

For the first time, players can experience Squid Game in Fortnite in an official capacity. A themed Reload map, Squid Grounds, acts as the main stage for Squid Game content. In it, players can engage with custom challenges inspired directly by the Netflix show’s deadly competitions. Skins modeled after both contestants and guards are now available, featuring full customization options with over 460 number and icon combinations, including the series’ signature symbols: circle, triangle, and square.

Creative Tools and Game Assets

Fortnite’s Creative Mode adds new tools that allow players to create Squid Game-style maps and experiences. Red Light Green Light assets, including the iconic motion-sensing doll and thematic coffins, are now usable in UEFN. These additions provide creators the flexibility to design their own twisted game types or roleplay environments rooted in the Squid Game aesthetic.

Some of these assets spill into the broader Fortnite ecosystem. Notably, limited-time inclusions such as the Redeye SMG and Squid Game invitation cards are active across different game modes, offering collectors something to chase beyond cosmetics.

Chapter 6 Expands with Superman, Story Updates, and Mini Events

Beyond the Squid Game collab, the Chapter 6 Season 3 Super update progresses Fortnite’s ongoing narrative. Key characters Hope and Midas have returned for storyline quests, while cryptic additions to the map tease exciting developments.

New Points of Interest: Fortress of Solitude

At Lakeside Labs, players discovered an icy outpost that matches early depictions of Superman’s fabled Fortress of Solitude. Hope’s prophetic vision paintings and mysterious dialogue strongly suggest this will be the staging ground for a forthcoming event spotlighting the Man of Steel.

Upcoming Live Event: Fall of the Supernova Academy

Meanwhile, in Utopia City, a freshly unearthed portal hints at the Zero Point’s return. This will likely connect to the upcoming mini live event, Fall of the Supernova Academy, setting the stage for Superman’s formal story integration and deeper revelations involving Midas.

Blitz Royale: High-Intensity Action in Under Five Minutes

Also launching with the update is Blitz Royale, a new Limited-Time Mode tailored for fast-paced and mobile-friendly gameplay. In this mode, matches are capped at five minutes, with players dropping onto the map pre-loaded with a weapon and medallion. Each elimination levels you up instantly, unlocking increasingly powerful loot.

Over a four-week span, Epic will rotate Blitz content, including returning bosses like Hades, elemental Avatar scrolls, and fan-favorite weapons from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Blitz Royale ends on July 15, so players looking to experience the chaos should jump in early.

New Characters, Mythics, and Abilities

This season’s content update doesn’t stop at map expansions and new modes—it brings powerful mythic abilities and unique character variants into rotation. DC fans will be pleased to learn that Robin is immediately available via Battle Pass, while Superman—modeled after actor David Corenswet—arrives later in the season or earlier via Battle Bundle.

Mythic Arsenal Expands

Superman’s upcoming mythic ability is one of the most exciting reveals, with planned features including heat vision, flight mechanics, explosive ground slams, and HP siphon capabilities—making it a potential meta disruptor for competitive play.

Standalone Abilities and Combos

Other new additions include:

Storm Beast’s Pom Poms – Transforms players into a beast form focused on destruction.
Miss Cape – Grants temporary flight, and when paired with Mist Gauntlets, forms the Ascended Mist, a powered-up version with added effects.

Available Now: Squid Game Skins and Rewards

Fortnite’s Item Shop has stocked customizable Squid Game skins for guards and contestants. These skins are premium content and must be purchased. Players can also participate in Reload map quests focused on XP rewards. While these missions do not unlock cosmetics, they deepen the in-game integration of the collaboration.
