SpongeBob SquarePants is the latest piece of entertainment to be captured by the IP playground that is Fortnite.
But this doesn’t mean SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy will be running around gunning down opponents with assault rifles, thankfully. Instead, four islands have been developed that allow players to play mini-games based on the classic Nickelodeon cartoon.
Here’s the breakdown of attractions:
- SpongeBob Red vs. Blue – Gear up for a thrilling round-based combat game! Players face off in a free-for-all (FFA) battle using jelly blasters to eliminate competitors.
- Bikini Bottom Prop Hunt – This hide-and-seek game gets a Bikini Bottom twist – hiders morph into everyday objects, while seekers must spot and eliminate them.
- SpongeBob Slap Fight – This game challenges players to karate chop opponents off the map while collecting Krabby Patties for extra points. Dodge other players and stay in the game!
- Bikini Bottom Only Up – Start your journey in Rock Bottom and parkour through iconic Bikini Bottom landmarks, obstacle course-style.
As far as I can tell, this update doesn’t include any SpongeBob skins. The cartoon characters just seem to hang around as you play.
“We know so many fans of SpongeBob SquarePants are gamers, so it was a natural next step for us to bring Bikini Bottom to life in this authentic format for them,” said Paramount vice president of games and emerging media Doug Rosen. “This collaboration with Zoned allowed us to create an engaging and immersive experience that truly captures the essence of SpongeBob and resonates with the Fortnite community.”
Just watch out for Godzilla, Bikini Bottom.
