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 offers quick, intense matches set in the show’s eerie environment.

Trailers and leaks indicate playable skins for several familiar characters — Lucas, Dustin, Mike and Will — plus Vecna. Additional themed cosmetics (leaks mention a Vecna clock backpack) and emotes are expected, and festival music or event items may accompany the drop.

What to expect

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

Why it matters

Fortnite’s crossovers continually refresh the game and draw fans from TV and film into the island. A Stranger Things map adds atmosphere and new cosmetic drops that both fans of the series and regular players are likely to engage with during the limited run.

Past crossovers & what’s next

Fortnite first crossed over with Stranger Things in 2019, and the game has since hosted many licensed events. The current season has featured Simpsons and Formula 1 content, and Chapter 7 will include movie tie‑ins and new island changes starting Nov 30.
