Fortnite has announced the Stranger Things Cup as part of its major collaboration with the Netflix series. 

Taking place on November 21st, the in-game tournament will give players a chance to grab antagonist Vecna’s skin early, before it makes its way to the Item Shop.

“Mouthbreathers, am I right? Drop into the Stranger Things Cup for the chance to earn early access to the Vecna outfit!” Epic Games announced.

The Stranger Things Cup is a solo competition open to players across mobile, Xbox, PC, Switch, and PlayStation. However, the session for mobile devices will be held separately from other platforms. 

Check out the schedule across all regions below, listed in local times:

North America

  • Mobile: 10:30 PM
  • Other Platforms: November 22nd, 12:30 AM

Europe

  • Mobile: 9:30 PM
  • Other Platforms: 11:30 PM

Middle East

  • Mobile: 5:30 PM
  • Other Platforms: 7:30 PM

Brazil

  • Mobile: 11:30 PM
  • Other Platforms: November 22nd, 1:30 AM

It is unclear what ranks players will have to achieve in order to get the skin, so it is advised to secure as many eliminations as possible and aim for a Victory Royale to increase the chances.

Apart from the cup, the Stranger Things partnership will also add a themed Blitz Royale map, along with multiple character skins and emotes.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
