Fortnite launched its second Stranger Things crossover on November 21, 2025, coinciding with Stranger Things Season 5 on Netflix. The event features new skins, cosmetics, and a complete transformation of the Blitz Royale map.

Along with Upside Down, players can now experience a mini version of Hawkins, the small town at the core of the series.

The reworked Blitz Royale map is divided into two biomes: Hawkins and the Upside Down. The normal Hawkins area includes well-known areas such as Hawkins Heights and Library Landing, both recreated without the supernatural corruption.

The Upside Down side is dark and ominous, with red lightning flashing over the foreboding Mind Flayer, tendrils crawling across buildings, and two major POIs: Gnarly Farms and Stranger Suburbs. 

Fans will find Easter eggs like Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Shop and Will Byers' house, decked out in Christmas lights. Portals make their way into the game as well, allowing players to teleport across the map and between dimensions.

The collaboration will add new Stranger Things skins and cosmetics. Each skin for Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will, along with the villain Vecna, can be purchased separately or in bundles. 

The Party Bundle includes all four boys' skins, along with pickaxes, back blings, and emotes, for 3,400 V-Bucks.

The Vecna Bundle includes the villain's skin, back bling, pickaxe, and emote for 2,000 V-Bucks. Both bundles will be available in the in-game shop until December 4, 2025.
