Stranger Things Characters Now Available in Fortnite

Epic Games has admitted that the new island-based age rating system in Fortnite «didn't hit the mark,» and now it's working on something new that will hopefully make things a little more equitable for everyone.

If you have been on the lookout for a new seasonal knitting project but are yet to be inspired, well, Remedy may just have exactly what you need.

Epic Games has promised fixes to remedy early issues with Fortnite's newly introduced age ratings system, which has left players frustrated after many popular cosmetics have become unusable in certain parts of the game in order to meet ratings requirements.

The most recent update during the Fortnite OG Season has included perplexing restrictions from Epic Games. Fortnite, a game primarily about shooting and “eliminating” other people, has implemented age restrictions on cosmetic items (skins, back blings, etc.) featuring weapons.

Yesterday, Fortnite players noticed that some of the skins in their locker had a new symbol on them – a triangle with a yellow outline and an exclamation mark inside – alongside a warning that said, «Items with the symbol can only be used in experiences rated 12+.» Players were upset with the change, which arrived out of nowhere, as it made skins they previously used on various creative islands unusable on said islands due to the new age rating restriction. Developer Epic Games has now responded, revealing that about 7% of Fortnite skins, or Outfits as they're officially called, can only be equipped in islands rated Teen. 

Fortnite has begun age-restricting certain cosmetics, despite being rated 12+ by PEGI. That's because its Creative mode, which is essentially Epic Games' answer to Roblox, has a different age rating system to Save the World and Battle Royale. Map creators can individually rate their worlds, choosing to stick with Fortnite's or to go lower, so certain skins have been disabled for worlds that are rated under 12.

Stranger Things star David Harbour says he "loved" Bethesda's space RPG Starfield and has used "all the exploits" to get infinite money and steal things. 

Dead by Daylight launched in 2016 with a cast of original killers and survivors inspired by the horror archetypes of the 80s golden age of slasher cinema. As the game quickly grew in popularity, developer Behaviour kick-started an ambitious plan to see if they could bring together horror’s most iconic villains under its umbrella, almost like what Fortnite did for pop culture, but specifically for horror.

Following its removal from the game two years ago, will make its way back into Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive announced on Monday.

There’s no Batman, Luke Skywalker, or Jack Skellington in Fortnite‘s new OG Season. However, Fortnite has received its busiest day ever, receiving over 44.7 million players on Saturday, November 4, blowing the development team away.

Fortnite has gone back to basics today with the long-awaited return of its original, classic Fortnite island map — albeit for a limited time only.

A reliable Fortnite leaker has revealed images for a new Stranger Things skin coming to the game. While fans have already seen The Demogorgon and Jim Hopper, the Fortnite OG season will bring with it two skins for Eleven.
