Fortnite has kicked off a limited time crossover with Netflix show Stranger Things, just in time for the launch of the latter's third season that launched yesterday.

As per the Fortnite Twitter account, the event sees a new item set available in the in-game item shop consisting of Chief Hopper and Demogorgon outfits and a Vine Wrap skin for your weapons. Players are also reporting (via Reddit) the popping up of mysterious Stranger Things-themed portals around the map that can transport you to their counterparts elsewhere, though they're mainly restricted to the Mega Mall area of the map. 

Fortnite is no stranger to pop culture crossovers at this point, of course – having recently enjoyed tie-ins to both John Wick and Avengers: Endgame.
