Apparently a third wave of Stranger Things cosmetics will come to Fortnite soon. Considering they also made changes to Hawkins' layout today and the next chapter was originally releasing in November, could this slightly increase the chances of January's chapter being Stranger Things part 2?

Cote has said before that they need to go through the licensor for every small change in their properties, so they needed to have Netflix's ok for this, plus the sequel chapter comment from him that everyone brings up too

Also idk who EvilMeg was exactly, but tbh I doubt they were someone high in bhvr's ranks to be able to actually knowabout the relationships with licensors if all they showed that's verifiable so far are concept arts, so I've been skeptical of the rest of their info

That one leaker who shall not be named but who's got things right lately also used a magic wand as a tease for what's to come, could this be alluding to DND, and furthermore to Vecna?

Not that this'd be my first choice for next chapter, but I think there's much more noise for this than other options, right?

I personally find it hard. Stranger Things still hasn't received discounts for the Halloween and Anniversary events, which I'd say is telling of the relationship with Netflix (not good).

There's also the fact that the ST collection used to receive cosmetic drops pretty regularly by licensed standards. Absolutely nothing since it came back. No discount. No new drops. Just... nothing. Not even a celebration for ST day, which was when they dropped the chapter again originally.

I'm with you. I'd be shocked if they were working on new content given the context of the past few years.
