Listeners, the world of Brawl Stars is abuzz as the October 2025 update introduces a landmark collaboration between Brawl Stars and Netflix’s Stranger Things. This partnership transforms several in-game brawlers with Stranger Things-inspired skins such as Eleven Lumi, Dustin Nita, Hopper Bull, Eddie Draco, Will Gus, and Scoops Ahoy Berry. The Brawl Pass skin, Eleven Lumi, even features special chromas like Retro and Thrilled Lumi, while Dustin Nita’s Demogorgon befriends him through a new Hypercharge variant. Players will find these skins and their unique cosmetic variants bringing Hawkins and the Upside Down right into Starr Park[1][2][4].

The event’s highlight is a new game mode called Upside Showdown, a roguelite progression-style mode where players advance through five stages, picking Power upgrades at the start of each round. Only the top four move on each round, and those who win all five earn trophies and a currency called Waffles, which can be redeemed for special run-boosting cards and upgrades. Boss Battles return with escalating difficulty and greater rewards for those who dare to compete[1][2].

A new Mythic assassin brawler named Gigi is debuting as part of the Juju trio. Gigi is a possessed ballerina doll wielding a magical glove. Her main attack, Pirouette Power-up, provides area damage while increasing her movement speed, and her Super lets her teleport onto enemies and return for additional exit damage. Uniquely, Gigi’s Super can be rapidly charged by dodging incoming projectiles. Listeners have a chance to unlock Gigi by participating in a special release event using Gigi Boxes, which also contain exclusive skins[1][2].

The October update brings an overhaul to the Hypercharge system—now all brawlers get standardized boosts of 5 percent extra attack and defense and 20 percent more movement speed during Hypercharge. New Hypercharges include Pam’s Mama’s Love, which provides turret healing and shields on deploy, Alli’s Swamp Snacking for healing and max health damage, Mina’s Triplecane launching triple bouncing hurricanes, and Ziggy’s Grand Vortex, which returns after reaching full range[1][2].

Daily rewards have been updated, requiring six wins for six variable daily rewards, such as Starr Drops, Sushi Rolls, Mega Boxes, and more. Teaming up is now easier due to a feature that tracks players you’ve recently won with, and XP Doublers now also affect Quest XP. Two new trio modes, Wipeout and Gem Grab, focus on teams of three in competitive matches[1][2].

Listeners should note significant balance changes, including a decreased Hypercharge charge rate and various gadget cooldown tweaks[3][4]. Mega Quests and Omega Quests form a new quest chain system, providing escalating and exclusive seasonal rewards as players progress through each Brawl Pass season, with the final Mega Quest reserved for Brawl Pass holders[1][2].

Looking ahead, a new Brawl Talk is teased in one month, promising more Stranger Things content and fresh surprises for Brawl Stars fans around the world[2].
