Portals in Fortnite tied to Stranger Things crossover event UPDATE: Dancing Demogorgons incoming. News by Imogen Beckhelling Contributor Updated on 5 Jul 2019 15 comments UPDATE 5th July 2019: Epic has revealed some shiny new Stranger Things skins for its crossover event with the show. Unlike previous crossovers, this event doesn't seem to have a limited-time game mode, however the new cosmetics mean you can break out your moves dressed as Chief Hopper or the Demogorgon. I think I just sold two Demogorgon skins for Epic from r/FortNiteBR To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

The only area they've been found in so far is the Mega Mall, along with a few other nods to the show, like the addition of the Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor. Reddit user TAK_Blitz had found six of the mysterious portals as of yesterday, and more are supposedly cropping up. In the video below you can get an idea of the portals in action, and while nothing sinister comes out of them (yet), they do allow you to teleport to another portal somewhere in the mall. While Epic haven't revealed any specifics about the event, the crossover was announced yesterday ahead of Stranger Things season three's release today. #FortniteXStrangerThings https://t.co/HpxRVvUSiY pic.twitter.com/Skf30OsJB8- Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 4, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
