The masked menace from Squid Game has entered Fortnite, and players are racing to claim his chilling Front Man skin. Here’s how you can add this sinister icon to your locker before it disappears from the store.
To add to the excitement, Epic also announced a UEFN collab that allows creators to make their own experiences while utilizing licensed assets from the Squid Game IP. As of now, creators are allowed to publish their experiences which can even be their own twisted version of the games.
While announcing this major collaboration at Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live, Epic also teased a much-awaited character from Squid Game who is finally making his appearance in the game, and it’s the orchestrator of it all, The Frontman. Here’s when you can expect the skin to release and how to get it.
Fortnite Squid Game Front Man Skin Release Date and How to Get It
The Fortnite Squid Game Front Man skin launches on January 20, 2026, as part of the Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass. Players reach tier 87 to claim it through daily and weekly quests that award XP. Epic Games confirms this ties into the Squid Game crossover event, available across all platforms without extra purchase. Match the Front Man’s mask and suit in-game right after the update drops.
The Front Man Fortnite skin, inspired by the iconic Squid Game antagonist, will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop on August 26, 2025, at 8 PM ET. This widely anticipated crossover satisfies fan demand for the masked character, who was missing from the inaugural Squid Game Fortnite bundle in June, which was criticized for its 3,000 V-Bucks pricing and absence of a Front Man skin.

Players may purchase the Front Man skin straight from the Fortnite Item Shop with V-Bucks. While the precise pricing has yet to be determined, the last Squid Game bundle cost 3,000 V-Bucks, implying that the Front Man bundle might cost around 1,500 V-Bucks, depending on the bundled items.
The Front Man bundle is said to include hus distinctive black mask and coat suit, a Dalgona-themed pickaxe, and a back bling imitating the Squid Game coffin or a masked guard emblem, all of which align with the show’s style. An emote that mimics the Front Man’s imposing presence is also being speculated to arrive. These items, while not verified, are based on fan speculation and the known signature style of the Squid Game crossover.
Front Man bundle V-Bucks price and contents
The Front Man Bundle costs 2,000 V-Bucks and includes four Squid Game-themed cosmetics.
V-Bucks price
-
Front Man Bundle Item Shop price: 2,000 V-Bucks.
-
Buying all included items separately would cost more (about 3,100 V-Bucks total), so the bundle is discounted compared with individual prices.
Bundle contents
The Front Man Bundle from The Games set contains:
-
Front Man (Epic Outfit).
-
Loot Piggy (Back Bling, elim-reactive “money” pig).
-
Perilous Gift (Pickaxe/Harvesting Tool with pink bow knife design).
-
Mingle Game Dance (Icon Series-style dance emote themed around Squid Game).
Is Front Man skin elim reactive
The Front Man skin itself is not elim reactive, but its Back Bling is.
Skin vs. Back Bling reactivity
-
Front Man has no listed reactive or elim-reactive properties: the model, mask, and clothing do not change after eliminations or during gameplay.
-
The Loot Piggy Back Bling that comes in the Front Man Bundle is elim reactive: it starts empty and visually fills up more as you get eliminations in a match.
