Epic Games has unveiled a highly anticipated collaboration for Fortnite—none other than Squid Game, and the community is buzzing with excitement. Fortnite's Creative mode empowers players to unleash their creativity, crafting unique maps and islands for solo or group play.

Among the most popular creations in Fortnite Creative are recreations of Squid Game's deadly challenges. While several Squid Game islands exist in Fortnite, one stands out: Octo Game 2. Created by sundaycw, this map meticulously replicates key scenes from the Netflix series, allowing players to compete for the top spot, just like in the show.

While player-made islands are impressive, creators could elevate their designs with official Squid Game assets. During the State of Unreal 2025 presentation, Epic Games announced that Fortnite and Squid Game will collaborate, bringing one of Netflix's most popular IPs to Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). These tools will launch on June 27, 2025, just weeks into Chapter 6 Season 3.

This news thrills fans of challenging party games in Fortnite Creative, but many are curious if Squid Game will extend to other modes and the Item Shop. Players have long desired Squid Game skins, particularly the Pink Guards' masks and contestants' tracksuits, as standout cosmetics.

The Fortnite Competitive account's comment on the Squid Game teaser has fueled speculation about a competitive event. Fortnite has a history of rewarding players with cash prizes, mirroring Squid Game's high-stakes competition. A virtual Squid Game event with V-Bucks or real-money rewards would be a thrilling addition.
