'Stranger Things' Is Doing a 'Fortnite' Crossover

Published Jul 04, 2019
Never ones to miss a good marketing opportunity, Netflix's Stranger Things and Epic Games' Fortnite are doing a branded crossover event.With Stranger Things hitting Netflix today, Fortnite has got in on the action by revealing a set of Stranger Things skins, as well as inserted Upside Down portals in the Mega Mall area of the game. Of course, the mall is also a central focus of Stranger Things Season 3, so it makes some serious sense.
Down below, you can check out a few of the new skins, including one of Hopper and another of the Demogorgon.

And this also isn't the first time Fortnite has experimented with these kinds of crossovers. Most recently, there was a John Wick X Fortnite event in conjunction with the third film in the franchise.
