Fortnite easter egg hints at a Stranger Things crossover
Stranger Things appears to be Fortnite’s latest pop culture crossover, as an easter egg in the new Season 9 map is a very direct reference to the show’s upcoming third season. After another Avengers event and hints toward a John Wick event, there’s apparently no limit to Fortnite’s crossover potential, and a proper trip to Hawkins, Indiana wouldn’t be out of line.
The new Mega Mall - which replaced Retail Row - features a retro ice cream parlor called ‘Scoops Ahoy,’ as Fortnite News notes. If you’ve seen the Stranger Things 3 trailer (or last year’s Starcourt Mall teaser), that’ll look pretty familiar, since it’s the same shop where the occasional bad boy Steve Harrington works.
Decor in the shop is a perfect match for what we’ve seen from those teasers, so this isn’t just a coincidental bit of retail naming. John Wick’s house also hit the map in this update, and datamined files suggest that Fortnite will get a new event featuring the assassin - this store could be a teaser for something similar with Stranger Things.
