Netflix has revealed a new mobile game inspired by the hit sci-fi show Stranger Things.
Announced during the Netflix panel at the E3 Coliseum, the Stranger Things mobile title will be a “location-based RPG/puzzle game,” likely in the same vein as other augmented reality titles such as Niantic’s incredibly popular Pokemon GO.
Set to arrive in 2020 on iOS and Android, players can “Explore The Upside Down Hidden around you and work together with other players to overcome its emerging evils."
The game is being developed by Finnish studio Next Games, creators of The Walking Dead: Our World, another location-based augmented reality mobile game based off the AMC series.
In addition to revealing the new Stranger Things mobile game, Netflix teased some new partnerships with game developers Behaviour Interactive, Ubisoft, Roblox, and Epic Games for some unannounced upcoming projects. The partnership with Epic Games could mean some sort of Stranger Things crossover event in the hugely popular battle royale game Fortnite.
In the meantime, Stranger Things 3: The Game, a 16-bit co-op beat ‘em inspired by the upcoming third season of the show, is coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices on July 4.
