Epic Games has officially announced that the popular Netflix series Stranger Things will soon arrive in Fortnite’s Blitz Royale mode. The crossover adds another high-profile collaboration to the growing list of Fortnite events.
Blitz Royale was first introduced on June 18, 2025, as a limited-time event. Due to its popularity among players, Epic Games decided to make it a permanent mode. The mode features 32 players competing on a smaller map for about five minutes, offering a fast-paced twist on the traditional battle royale experience.
At present, Fortnite is already running a collaboration with The Simpsons. This event transformed the main battle royale map into a blend of Fortnite’s island and Springfield. The map even copies the show’s signature animation style, giving players the sensation of stepping inside a cartoon world.
Epic Games has reported a noticeable surge in both new and returning players after launching The Simpsons event. This success likely encouraged the company to aim for similar engagement with the upcoming Stranger Things crossover.
