Fortnite announces Stranger Things cup featuring Vecna skin

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:

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.

Initial details for the FNCS 2026 circuit have already been revealed and the season will feature four major LAN events. Along with the Pro-Am and Global Championship, fans will be able to witness the top Fortnite teams compete at the FNCS Mid-Season and Road Elite Series. 

One of these events will take place in Europe, while the rest of details have been kept under wraps. Lastly, Epic Games has also announced the first-ever mobile series for the title, offering a massive prize pool of $1m (~£764,700).
