Nickelodeon’s iconic sea sponge, SpongeBob SquarePants, has officially arrived in Fortnite, but in a completely unexpected way. Instead of becoming an in-game skin like many other characters, SpongeBob has made his entrance into the battle royale universe through a collaboration with Paramount Game Studios and Zoned.
Together, they’ve created four immersive UEFN maps based on the beloved animated series. Get ready to explore Bikini Bottom, face off with iconic characters, and experience SpongeBob-themed adventures like never before!
All Fortnite SpongeBob UEFN Maps Explained
With this collaboration, players now have the chance to dive into four exciting SpongeBob-themed Fortnite maps. These maps offer a variety of experiences, from hide-and-seek to free-for-alls and even a karate chop showdown.
Although Epic Games hasn’t officially sponsored these maps, Fortnite’s official social media accounts shared a trailer with an astounding 19.3 million followers, which included a legitimate in-game model of SpongeBob SquarePants himself.
Here’s a breakdown of the four maps and what you can expect from each one:
SpongeBob Slap Fight (7553-2540-2748)
In SpongeBob Slap Fight, players will engage in karate chop battles. Dodge incoming attacks, collect Krabby Patty tokens, and try to outlast your opponents in this fun, action-packed mode.
SpongeBob Red v Blue (0762-5568-4050)
SpongeBob Red v Blue is a free-for-all (FFA) battle mode where players equip themselves with jelly blasters. It’s a classic team-based showdown, but with a fun SpongeBob twist.
Bikini Bottom Prop Hunt (8840-0539-0526)
In Bikini Bottom Prop Hunt, players must hide and disguise themselves as SpongeBob-inspired props. Whether it’s a Krabby Patty or a jellyfish, your goal is to blend in and avoid being discovered by the seekers.
Bikini Bottom Only Up (6719-4656-3054)
Bikini Bottom Only Up takes you on a journey starting in Rock Bottom where the objective is to climb to the top. Test your skills as you make your way through challenging obstacles and difficult terrain.
Each of these SpongeBob maps brings a unique experience to Fortnite, so you can enjoy a variety of gameplay styles while visiting the world of Bikini Bottom. To start playing, simply head to the Discover tab in Fortnite and input the 12-digit map codes listed above.
Could This Be the Start of a Bigger Crossover?
The collaboration between Fortnite and Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants raises the question: could this lead to more SpongeBob-related content in Fortnite? With Paramount owning both Nickelodeon and its extensive library of intellectual properties (IPs), it’s highly likely that this is just the beginning.
After all, we’ve already seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT)—another Paramount property—arrive in Fortnite as skins. Given Fortnite’s history of adding legendary characters like Peter Griffin from Family Guy and Godzilla, it wouldn’t be surprising to see SpongeBob SquarePants join that illustrious list.
Could we see SpongeBob as a playable skin? The answer is a resounding yes. Considering the increasing trend of crossovers in Fortnite, it seems inevitable that SpongeBob might eventually make his way into the game as a fully playable character, further expanding the ever-growing roster of iconic skins.
Conclusion
The SpongeBob SquarePants UEFN maps in Fortnite offer fans an exciting new way to experience the world of Bikini Bottom. From slap fights to prop hunts, there’s something for everyone in this new collaboration.
While there’s no official confirmation yet of a SpongeBob Fortnite skin, the possibility remains high. With more crossovers happening all the time, SpongeBob might soon be your next playable character in the battle royale.
