Stranger Things 3: The Game will debut on the PC, consoles, and mobile devices on July 4, just as season three of the popular Netflix show Stranger Things debuts.
Netflix is moving into the game business. So now we don’t have to hear all that talk about who is going to be the “Netflix of games.” Clearly, it’s going to be Netflix.
BonusXP, the game studio that made the original Stranger Things: The Game mobile title in 2017, is working on the new game in collaboration with Netflix. It’s another sign, in addition to the interactive movie Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, that shows Netflix is aware of the power of games.
The game takes players beyond the TV show. The trailer gives a first look at more of the playable characters — including Dustin, Steve and Billy — which are just a few of the 12 playable characters in the game, each with their own unique talents and stats.
