Listeners, November 2025 is a monumental month for Brawl Stars, with the game launching its biggest crossover yet: the Stranger Things collaboration. This partnership with Netflix coincides with Stranger Things Season 5, bringing the Upside Down directly into Starr Park until December 3. During the event, players experience the world of Hawkins with exclusive in-game skins featuring iconic characters such as Eddie Munson, Hopper, Eleven, Will, Dustin, and Steve, each mapped onto existing Brawlers. The game introduces Upside Showdown, a new roguelite-infused battle royale mode where participants use Power Cards to adapt their strategy through five challenging rounds, aiming to escape the Upside Down for maximum rewards. Along the way, listeners can earn Waffles, a new in-game currency that unlocks special power-ups, cosmetics, and collectibles, while collaborating to battle formidable bosses like Vecna and the Demogorgon. Themed maps and visuals reinforce the dark, suspenseful tone inspired by the series, and this crossover precedes the Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 release on November 26, making it a key pop culture moment in both gaming and streaming[2][3][5].

On the competitive side, attention turns to Stockholm, Sweden, where the Brawl Stars World Finals will take place from November 28 through 30. Sixteen of the world’s top teams—including ZETA DIVISION (East Asia), SK Gaming and HMBLE (EMEA), SKCalalas SA (South America), and North America’s leading Tribe Gaming—will compete for a massive $1 million prize pool, with $400,000 going to the champions. Fans engaging online gain opportunities to earn Pro Pass XP, vote on match outcomes, and unlock limited-time Hypercharge skins and exclusive merchandise, ensuring global participation and excitement. The event confirms the game’s rising status in the world of competitive esports, offering professional-level excitement accessible to the wider community[1][4].

Community interaction peaks with the Scary Doors event, which wraps up on November 7. Each day, listeners have faced new quests and challenges, and upon completion, the community receives Door Keys to vote on unlocking one of 20 mysterious doors. Prizes behind these doors include Hypercharge Starr Drops, themed items like Sushi Rolls, and even gem giveaways, all culminating on the final day when three doors can be opened at once. This format generates an ongoing sense of anticipation and teamwork, distinguishing it as one of the most elaborate and engaging interactive events to date[1][6].

The November update further introduces Ziggy, a new brawler who diversifies gameplay with novel tactical options, plus reworked release animations for every character in the roster. Additional personalization options come via new QR and creator codes, providing pins, icons, gems, coins, and exclusive skins, making the month vibrant for customization and collection[6][7]. This month’s content demonstrates Supercell’s commitment to both competitive depth and pop culture engagement, ensuring listeners remain at the heart of every game update and event[1][2][3].
