Netflix has announced at this year’s E3 that, as well as the upcoming Dark Crystal game, they are currently working on two other games, both based on the hit horror series Stranger Things

No doubt announced as part of the gear-up for the debut of Season 3 of the show on July 4, the two games will be fairly different in nature. One is set to be a location-based mobile game for iOS and Android in the same vein as Pokemon GO, with the current working title of Stranger Things Mobile Game.

Augmented reality is a pretty apt mechanic for the Stranger Things series and its mysterious parallel world of The Upside Down. The game’s premise revolves around the idea that this world overlaps our own, which is very on-theme for the show. You’ll have to work together with friends in order to overcome whatever evil threatens to break through.

Stranger Things Mobile Game is set to release next year and is being developed by Next Games, the creators of The Walking Dead’s own Pokemon GO-like The Walking Dead: Our World. Out of the two games to come out of the popular Netflix series, this looks like the most promising.

The other Stranger Things game on the way will be a direct tie-in with the third season, appropriately titled Stranger Things 3: The Game. It’s an isometric action-adventure that’s clearly going for a retro look and feel, which ties in well with the TV show’s 80s setting.

The game lets you play as your pick of 12 characters from the show, as well as having local co-op. It’s being developed for PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android, and iOS, as is due to launch on the same day as Season 3 of the show on July 4.

at least one isnt an interactive narrative a la Bandersnatch, woulda hated if they pawned it off as a "game"

I did a review on Stranger Things 3: The game after 25 hours of gameplay.
Hope it adds helpful information to this thread.

The game was ok for fans of the tv show (like me)
$19,99 is a bit expensive though.
It’s cool for couch coop play.
Every player can unlock achievements
(It’s quite rare for couch coop game)

Don’t play it if you haven’t watch the last season since it really follows the show.

They kinda deserved it though. They got way too big way too fast for their own good.

Netflix is starting to make a lot of games. They're becoming the Netflix of gaming.

I hope you get to be the monster and can kill the cast. I'd love to kill those children. Or maybe you're the new kid in town and it's a dating sim. But when you're about to kiss for the first time everyone turns into scary shit from the upside down. They're not trying to kill you, but kiss you and you have to run for dear life before you get kissed by some black spikey gooy fucked up looking things.

Those are my hopes.
