The final season of Stranger Things will begin filming next year, but Netflix’s hit sci-fi drama still has a lot going for it. After 2019’s Stranger Things 3: The Game, Netflix introduced its follow-up video game adaptation, and this time we’re exploring the Upside Down with our VR headsets. Stranger Things VR, created in collaboration with developer Tender Claws, is set to release late next year.
Stranger Things VR focuses on Season 4’s antagonist, Vecna, and is described as an “action horror/psychological” game. It will be released on “major VR platforms” in winter 2023, which we suspect will include Oculus Quest 2 (now Meta Quest 2), Meta Quest Pro, and PC VR headsets like Valve Index. Given the release window, PSVR 2 and Oculus Quest 3 are not out of the question. In any case, it will surely appear in one of the best models of virtual reality headsets.
“Stranger Things VR will allow fans to experience the world of Stranger Things from a never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as she explores unknown realities, creates a hive mind, and enacts her plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins. Players will invade the dreams and memories of fan-favorite characters and use telekinetic abilities to battle humans and creatures as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and its impact on the events of previous seasons are revealed.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Stranger Things in virtual reality. In December 2017, Sony partnered with Netflix to bring Stranger Things: The VR Experience exclusively to PSVR. Unfortunately, it looked more like a tech demo than a full game, and it’s no longer available on PSN. But with the release of Stranger Things VR, we can finally get the experience fans have been waiting for.
