Buckle Up, Fortnite just dropped such an extremely explosive news that no one before would have predicted-coming tonight into the item shop: Squid Game skins. I know. How crazy would it have been to imagine the viral survival drama of Netflix finding its way into the Battle Royale? The reactions from the internet have never ceased pouring in with the news.
So, what is really going on? The community got shaken up when popular Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR let the bombshell loose in a single hype tweet: “Squid Game skins will be available TONIGHT 🔥.” Not even a mention of costs, nor a clue as to which characters will make an appearance. Nevertheless, the fans were fuming mad in the reply thread.
Are ya feeling it? Which actually means my answer is yes; a gamer with the handle @TSC143_ shouted loud and clear in all caps: EXCITED ABOUT IT. This statement is also true since @honeymoon250 joked that his brother wasn’t getting much sleep tonight. Meanwhile, the hype sustained strong with @LapisLoopz gratefully commenting, “Oh my w thank you shiina.” For one period, ShiinaBR was as good as Santa Claus with his Fortnite leaks.
Now, then not everybody is happy; @michaelfellner1 said, “If it’s not the super hero skins I don’t care; They do this all the time release skins that don’t fit the season.” A literal knife to the heart. Plus, @Ch1LLCODguy called them “dogshit,” for Front Man apparently got snubbed. Tough crowd indeed.
Then, of course, price becomes the question! @ilikefood2322 says the real: “Is the bundle the 3k for those 4 or all 12 skins?” Because one has to be honest, Fortnite prices might as well seem as confusing as the actual Squid Game rules. And @Vontaii1 asks simply and plainly: “How much?” — It’s the way everyone feels.
Some folks already have their in-game outfits on mind. @guysraisedbyfly can hardly wait to try him out (Albert, whoever that may be), while @TjayGaming_ declared, “I will be buying them” with an accompanying fire emoji. @Soulbound_TV, on the other hand, has things rolling from here: “Queue the lobby: 99 guards, 1 VIP 😂.” Spot on.
However, a couple of folk aren’t vibing: @bretinator10 called the skins “stupid,” while @erayy555 yawned, “Could be better.” That’s harsh, but hey, not every collaboration takes the cake.
Oh, and of course, add to that the icing: timezone drama. @FunnyBasil just groaned with disdain: “Ah yes Europe timezones suck,” because anyone that waits for anything to drop at 1 in the morning has got to be crazy.
Here lies the God-timer. Is Squid Game in Fortnite the best thing that ever happened or an ego crusher? At least this item shop refresh will go down in history. Whether you are here for the pink soldiers, the green tracksuits, or just enjoying the madness itself; it will be a night to remember.
If this doesn’t make your mind I’ll put kuya @SeanDoggo on record saying: “Been waiting for this all these years.” Okay, Sean, that’s a little bit much, don’t you think? But hey, the hype is real. Now go grab those V-Bucks and gear up for the drop into the island wearing your favorite Squid Game outfit. Just don’t get eliminated-well, unless that’s your thing.
So, yes, Squid Game skins. Tonight. Fortnite. Let’s go!
