Fortnite Updates
Fortnite X Stranger Things Cup 21.11.25

-
Upside Down Blitz Map
-
Fortnite is introducing a Stranger Things–themed map in its Blitz Royale mode.
-
The map is a dark, corrupted version of Hawkins that channels the eerie “Upside Down” dimension.
-
The Mind Flayer looms over the map, adding to the atmospheric horror vibe.
-
There are portals or “dimensional” features that tie into the Upside Down → these might teleport players/influence gameplay.
-
New gameplay mechanics: boons, medallions, and Stranger Things-themed weapons are expected.
-
-
New Skins & Cosmetics
-
Several new character skins from Stranger Things are coming: Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, and the villain Vecna.
-
There’s a fun “Peely as Eddie Munson” skin — Peely dressed in Eddie’s denim vest.
-
Back bling, pickaxes, and emotes tied to the Stranger Things lore: e.g. Vecna’s back bling is the “Creel clock.”
-
Some older Stranger Things skins (like Chief Hopper, Eleven, and Demogorgon) are expected to return.
-
-
Event Timing
-
The crossover launches around November 24, 2025, in Fortnite.
-
This timing aligns with the release of Stranger Things Season 5 (which debuts on Netflix shortly after).
-
-
Gameplay & Challenges
-
There will likely be Stranger Things-themed quests or challenges.
-
Collectible medallions on the map might give players special powers or advantages.
-
The mode is more than cosmetic — the Upside Down map affects how you play.
