Fortnite Reload Season Teases Squid Game-Inspired Map

Fortnite Reload's upcoming update brings explosive changes starting June 27th. The Squid Game Reload map arrives, transforming the deadly games from Netflix's hit series into playable Fortnite chaos. The iconic Red Light, Green Light challenge evolves from nostalgic meme to an actual in-game survival mechanism.

From childhood playgrounds turned deadly to claustrophobic underground tunnels, this new battleground delivers heart-pounding close-quarters combat punctuated by tense moments of anticipation.

Limited-Time Squid Game Takeover

During launch weekend (June 27-30), the Squid Grounds map completely replaces Oasis as the only available Reload map. The update brings an expanded arsenal including the deadly Red-Eye SMG, tactical Boogie Bombs, and glider redeploy items - perfect for escaping deadly situations.

Competitive Reset and New Opportunities

June 27th triggers a full ranked reset across both Reload and Zero Build modes. Your new ranking will be determined after just one placement match, giving everyone a clean slate for the season. New players must first eliminate 500 opponents before accessing ranked play.

Competitive players can test their skills early in the Squid Grounds Cup on June 25th. This Duos Fill tournament on Slurp Rush offers exclusive rewards including the Games Guard Outfit and Masterful Stare Spray for top performers.

Complete Squid Game Experience

The update wouldn't be complete without crossover cosmetics. Look for themed back blings, weapon wraps, and signature emotes. Twitch viewers can also score free loot through special drops during the event.
