Jocul Calamarului, the chillingly creepy spectacol where desperate, debt-ridden adults compete in a deadly tournament of children’s games, is returning to Netflix for its third and final season on Friday. Its brightly colored, dystopian world has heavily influenced pop culture, even including Halloween costumes. And now, the Squid Game universe is coming to the massively popular game Fortnite in a crossover event beginning at the same time that the third season is available to watch.
When does Squid Game come to Fortnite?
- Look for a new island, Squid Grounds, in the Fortnite battle royale mode, Reload, on June 27, at 9 a.m. ET.
- It seems likely that the Squid Game skins and items will come to Fortnite before the new island map does. Leakers are reporting that the skins and item shop will be reset at 8 p.m. ET on the night of June 26.
- Squid Game-themed skins in the shop will include the red-clad guards and green-clad competitors.
- „Veți recunoaște o mulțime de arme care revin în actualizarea Squid Grounds, deși planorul și bomba Boogie își fac apariția pentru prima dată în Reload”, promite un reprezentant Fortnite în legenda trailerului de pe YouTube care prezintă adăugirile din joc.
Și pe Fortnite.com, jocul intră în mai multe detalii.
„Găsiți locuri de joacă familiare din jocuri, complete cu decoruri de orașe și un labirint scobit pe sub dealurile insulei.” site-ul spune„Poți chiar să joci Red Light, Green Light pe propriul tău risc.”
Before Friday’s launch, players can compete in the Squid Games Cup, a Reload Duos Fill tournament taking place on the Slurp Rush map on June 25. Top players can then earn the Games Guard outfit before it shows up in the shop on June 26.

Cât costă skin-urile de joc Squid în Fortnite?
Squid Game game focuses on people so far in debt they must risk their lives. Some Fortnite players are joking about that similarity, because according to unconfirmed leaks first reported on by SpushFNBR şi NotPaloleaksși cited by Vice, playing could be pricey.
- Reportedly, the Squid Game skin main bundle will cost 3,000 V-Bucks, which is the game’s currency. Fortnite.com says that the bundle includes the Games Guard outfit, the Ddakji Defender outfit, the Green Light Guardian, Marble Maven, Dalgona Destroyer, Tug of War Titan, Pentathlon Perfector, Jegi Juggler, Flying Stone Fighter, Gong-gi Great, Games Manager outfit and Glass Bridge Survivor outfit. It looks as if the crossover won’t include one of the more iconic Squid Game characters, the eerie black-clad Front Man, a former police officer who won the tournament and now runs it.
- According to popular Fortnite leaker HYPEX, prices even for single skins won’t be cheap, with the guard and manager skins selling for 1,500 V-Bucks each and the male and female player skins for 1,200 V-Bucks each. Maybe you can find a deadly tournament to enter to win enough … oh, wait.

But some Fortnite fans seem excited about the new additions regardless.
„Faptul că avem jocuri bazate pe eliminare în cadrul jocurilor bazate pe eliminare este apogeul meta-ului din 2025” a spus un utilizator X.
Remember the deadly version of “Red Light, Green Light” from Squid Game? That game, and a version of its unnerving robot doll, will show up in Fortnite, too.
Un alt utilizator a spus că ar prefera ca Squid Game să joace un rol în jocul standard Fortnite, de tip battle royale.
„Pare o idee bună, dar de ce este Squid Game în modul Reload și nu în modul Battle Royale?” au întrebat X. „Nu cunosc mulți oameni care joacă Reload, inclusiv eu [sic]. Ultima dată când am jucat Reload a fost când a apărut prima dată modul de joc.”
Another person suggested this might be because the Battle Royale season theme, superheroes, doesn’t fit with Squid Game.
