Summary
- There are talks about a new Fortnite Reload map that could be arriving soon, and some believe that it might be inspired by Netflix’s Squid Game.
- This leak lines up with Fortnite’s big update on June 18, which is expected to bring several major changes across different game modes.
- Another rumor suggests The Simpsons might also be in for an upcoming collaboration with Epic Games’ battle royale.
Fortnite’s summer updates are heating up fast. A new Fortnite Reload map is rumored, and might end up being one of the game’s most surprising crossovers yet. According to leaks from trusted sources, Epic Games could be introducing Squid Game into Fortnite, specifically in Reload mode. These leaks appeared just days before the June 18 update, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.
Squid Game and the New Fortnite Reload Map?
It all kind of started when a Fortnite leaker, named Loolo_WRLD, posted a few images that showed strange looking places. The places looked very similar to some scenes from the Squid Game series. This then led many players to think that a new Reload map based on the show might be coming soon.
Epic Games didn’t officially confirm anything about the crossover yet. However, there’s already a lot of signs that something might actually be happening. So, while there’s still no confirmed date for when the rumored Squid Game map would be added to Fortnite Reload, fans of the hit Netflix series still have something to look forward to.
Back at the State of Unreal event earlier this year, Epic said that Squid Game tools will be added to Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) on June 27. These tools let creators make their own games using real stuff from the Squid Game show. This makes this possibly one of Fortnite’s most detailed crossovers so far.
Could The Simpsons Be Next?
And like usual with Fortnite, one leak is followed by another one. Now, some insiders are saying that The Simpsons could also be making their way into the game. Rumors are that there’s already a Springfield-themed Reload map in the works.
If this becomes true, it would be the first time that The Simpsons are officially part of Fortnite. The map wouldn’t be as big as the main battle island. It may be made for a special event or a limited-time game mode, similar to the Star Wars event earlier this year.
What It Means for Players
If all these rumors are correct, this summer could become one of the more exciting seasons Fortnite had in a while. A new Reload map themed after Squid Game can bring a new type of intense gameplay. This can especially appeal to players who enjoy a more survival-focused experience. With new creative tools coming at the end of June, the Fortnite community will surely participate in a lot of Squid Game-style challenges.
Either way, players might want to prepare for a big shift in Fortnite soon. New maps, new experiences, and more crossovers always seem around the corner with this game.
Conclusion
