The ‘Stranger Things’ Crossover Event Has Begun in ‘Fortnite’
In Fortnite, John Wick, Thanos, the Demogorgon, and Chief Hopper all exist in the same universe where people are made to fight to the death for a laugh. Probably about the only way Hopper’s life could get any worse.
Yes, if you’re a pop culture hit these days, chances are you’ll be making an appearance in the omnipresent juggernaut that is Fortnite, and Stranger Things is the latest to turn up for a round of Battle Royale (still waiting on that Beat Takeshi skin so we can go full circle).
A few days ago, Epic Games announced the crossover on Twitter to coincide with the launch of the third season of the show, and it includes cosmetic items and skins such as Jim Hopper and yes, the Demogorgon.
The game also features the mall from season 3 and some freaky deeky Upside-Down portals.
Frankly, we’re a bit disappointed as there was clearly only one skin we needed from Stranger Things.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
