Stranger Things POI The Sideways in Season 8 of Fortnite

An anonymous leaker put out massive leaks a long time back about what is coming to Fortnite. According to them, a new POI will be added that will be identical to the Upside Down dimension from the popular Netflix show Stranger Things.

While it might seem far-fetched to some, with aliens, UFOs, and parasites already on the island, the sky really seems the limit. Famous leaker Hypex also gave a sneak of the data files in Fortnite, which have "sideways" mentioned in the names.

Some loot tiers were added for "The Sideways" monsters that get added next Halloween (according to the Reddit leak): - Loot_Sideways_Weak (Grey Loot)- Loot_Sideways_Strong (Blue Loot)- Loot_Sideways_SuperStrong (Purple/Legendary Loot)- Loot_Sideways_ZigZag (Jumpscare) pic.twitter.com/Q7pVF6GxCj

As the leaks mention, this content is stored for Halloween, and the "Sideways" might introduce monsters to the island. However, the most exciting part is that these creatures and mechs will be ridable, surely introducing exciting gameplays.

Furthermore, the introduction of this POI might bring a new map, as many have suggested on online forums. Fan concepts of the new map are all over the internet.
