Fortnite Reload Drops Squid Game Map

• The Squid Game Reload map arrives on June 27th
• Expanded loot pool brings fresh gear
• Ranked mode resets coming for both Reload and Zero Build

Fortnite Reload's upcoming update breaks the mold. Within days, players will enter Squid Grounds — a brutal new battleground inspired by the Netflix phenomenon. The iconic Red Light, Green Light challenge transforms from childhood memory to deadly gameplay mechanic. This cramped, chaotic map delivers tense standoffs and unsettling quiet between violent clashes.

During launch weekend starting June 27th, Squid Grounds becomes Fortnite Reload's exclusive battlefield, temporarily replacing Oasis until June 30th. Experience high-pressure survival gameplay within Reload's signature structure. The expanded arsenal introduces the Red-Eye SMG, Uncommon Boogie Bombs, and Itemized Glider Redeploy to shake up strategies.

The June 27th update also triggers complete ranked resets across Reload and Zero Build modes. Your new placement will update after one qualifying match per mode based on current performance — offering a clean slate for competitive climbing. Newcomers must first eliminate 500 opponents to unlock Ranked play.

Competitive players can get early access through the Squid Grounds Cup launching June 25th. This Slurp Rush Duos tournament awards the exclusive Games Guard Outfit to regional champions before its item shop release. Participants earning eight+ points also secure the Masterful Stare Spray — full details available on the tournament schedule.
