The Fortnite x Squid Game crossover will also have over 10 cosmetics for players to purchase. Some of the more notable ones are the Dalgona and Ddakji backbling, which are iconic fixtures from the Netflix show. However, if you want to collect them all, you will have to spend quite a bit of money.

The Netflix crossover with Epic Games has also faced a bit of criticism in the lead-up to its release. Fans were not happy when it was revealed that the Fortnite Squid Game skins would not include characters from the show, such as protagonist Gi-Hun. Now, players aren’t thrilled with the pricing of the new cosmetics.

Reacting to the leaked shop, a player joked, “These prices got me feeling like I’m in an actual Squid Game.” A second user exclaimed, “3,000 V-Bucks for a bunch of defaults is too much.” The comment is, of course, referencing the fact that the bundles don’t actually feature characters from the series. One commenter pointed out, “The manager could’ve easily been just a secondary style for the guard like c’mon, and why no front man?”

Many of the criticisms seem to center around the Fortnite crossover not featuring The Frontman. Which makes sense — the masked antagonist is practically the mascot for the show. If there was ever a more perfect skin for the battle royale, it would have been his. Hopefully, Epic Games is planning to release him later on as a Quest reward or a future shop item.
