Fortnite brings a Stranger Things Blitz map — drop into the Upside Down on Nov 21

Fortnite is launching a Stranger Things crossover with a limited-time Blitz map that recreates a creepy Upside Down version of the Creel House. The map goes live on November 21 and brings quick, chaotic matches to the show’s eerie setting.

Trailers and leaks point to playable skins for several core characters — Lucas, Dustin, Mike and Will — plus Vecna. Expect themed cosmetics like backpacks and emotes tied to the show, and likely festival music or other event content to complement the map.

What to expect

• Map: A Blitz-mode arena set in the Upside Down around the Creel House for fast matches.
• Skins & cosmetics: Multiple Stranger Things characters, themed backpacks (leaks mention a Vecna clock pack) and emotes.
• Timing: Map launches Nov 21; Fortnite Chapter 7 season content (starting Nov 30) will add more crossovers like Kill Bill and Back to the Future items.

Why it matters

Fortnite’s pop-culture crossovers keep the game fresh and attract fans beyond core players. A Stranger Things map provides an atmospheric play space and fresh cosmetics that both show fans and regular players may want to grab.

Past & upcoming crossovers

Fortnite has hosted previous Stranger Things drops (2019) and many other licensed events. This season has already featured Simpsons content and Formula 1 items, and upcoming Chapter 7 promises more movie tie-ins and a new island.
