Get ready for a massive digital event as Epic Games and Netflix have officially announced the highly anticipated return of the Stranger Things crossover to Fortnite. This blockbuster collaboration is scheduled to go live on November 24, 2025, strategically timed just before the premiere of the show's fifth and final season. This marks the second time the beloved franchise has entered the battle royale arena, and it promises to be a much larger event, packed with more content and exclusive themed cosmetics.
The Upside Down Blitz Map: A New Battlefield
The centerpiece of this Fortnite Stranger Things collaboration is a brand-new map designed specifically for the Blitz mode. Epic Games has already teased this terrifying new playground on its social media channels. The trailer showcases a dark and corrupted version of Hawkins, perfectly capturing the eerie essence of the show's parallel dimension, with the monstrous Mind Flayer ominously hovering over the island.
This Upside Down Blitz map is expected to introduce new gameplay dynamics. Players can look forward to exclusive new weapons available only in this mode. There is also strong speculation about the introduction of special boons and medallions, which will undoubtedly elevate the overall intensity and fun of the Fortnite gameplay experience.
Confirmed and Rumored Character Skins
The collaboration will unleash a wave of new cosmetics, headlined by the hilarious and unexpected Eddie Munson-inspired Peely skin. This crossover variant dresses the beloved banana in the likeness of the fan-favorite character from the series. Notably, the skin also features "The Seven" badge icon, sparking fresh rumors about the potential return of The Seven faction in the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 7.
Beyond this confirmed skin, the community is buzzing with anticipation for the possible arrival of the core Party members as playable outfits. This includes Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair. Fans are also eagerly hoping to see the terrifying antagonist Vecna from Season 4, as well as a skin for the charismatic Steve Harrington.
The cosmetic offerings will extend far beyond just character skins. Developers are likely to introduce complete cosmetic bundles featuring emotes, back bling, pickaxes, and various other accessories. Furthermore, there is a strong possibility that the original Stranger Things skins from the Chapter 1 collaboration, such as the Demogorgon and Chief Hopper, will make a return to the item shop for players who missed them the first time. More specific details will be revealed as the November 24 launch date approaches.
