The forthcoming new season of Stranger Things will be accompanied by its own mobile game. Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer announced a new mobile game, simply titled Stranger Things 3: The Game, last night at The Game Awards and dropped a short trailer to tease the game. The game will follow the events of season 3 and will reportedly be available on all platforms.
The Duffer Brothers didn't provide any more details about the game, and the trailer is quite short, so it doesn't give too much away. However, it does show some of the show's beloved characters, including Hopper and Steve, fighting enemies in messy storage rooms, a food-court-like setting, and in front of a movie theater. Users will reportedly be able to take control of characters and go through some of the season's events, with surprises throughout.
The locations shown in the trailer jibe with the mega-mall that will come to Hawkins, Indiana, in the show's third season. The season's cryptic yet nostalgia-filled trailer promised that the town will 'step into the future' with the addition of the Starcourt Mall, where we can expect to see characters hang out, shop, and even work (Steve appears to be the newest employee of the Scoops Ahoy ice cream shop).

Developer Bonus XP partnered with Netflix to create this 16-bit title, following up their previous partnership that created Stranger Things: The Game. That was another mobile, top-down game that was based loosely on the first season of the popular sci-fi show.
