Epic Games used Gamescom 2025 to announce a Fortnite x Squid Game collaboration, with creator-made games launching in Fortnite on August 20, and the Front Man himself arriving on August 26.
Squid Game in Fortnite
The collaboration brings Squid Game-themed creator-made games to Fortnite, allowing players to experience the deadly competition from the hit Netflix series within the Fortnite universe. Given the show’s massive global popularity, this is a match made in crossover heaven.
The Front Man Arrives
The Front Man — the mysterious masked figure from Squid Game — will be available as a skin in Fortnite starting August 26. Expect more Squid Game-themed cosmetics to follow.
Fortnite’s Crossover Empire
Fortnite has become the ultimate crossover platform in gaming, with collaborations spanning Marvel, DC, Star Wars, anime, and now Netflix. The Squid Game crossover is particularly interesting because it brings a non-gaming IP into the Fortnite ecosystem in a gameplay-relevant way, not just as cosmetic skins.
