Netflix and video game developer Telltale Games have both confirmed reports that they are collaborating on a new game based around the hit sci-fi series Stranger Things. Netflix responded to TechRadar, confirming the project, but also clarifying it will not actually be featured on the Netflix service.

"The Stranger Things project is being published by Telltale at a later date, not on the Netflix service," the company said. "It's part of our marketing and title promotion efforts."

It seems in recent weeks, Netflix has made some steps to expand upon the lore of Stranger Things in order to reach a larger audience in different formats. Last week, it was reported that Netflix partnered with Penguin Random House for a worldwide deal to publish a series of books inspired by the series; one of which will be a prequel novel about Eleven's mother and the MKUltra program.

Telltale, who is known for developing interactive adventure games based on popular franchises (like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones) responded separately to the report, issuing their own statement on Twitter.


Telltale typically releases their series as episodic adventures, usually consisting of five episodes in a season. Usually, they tell their own original stories featuring new characters, so expect the game to expand upon the lore of Stranger Things.

As for the actual Stranger Things show, it's expected to return for its third season on Netflix sometime in 2019. Production on the upcoming season began in April.

Awesome! Should be a great way to expand upon the stranger things lore. I still need to finish the final episode of Batman season 2, though.

I thought for a moment this was going to be about Millie Bobby Brown deleting her Twitter account because immature people on the Internet decided to come up with "funny" homophobic memes about her when I saw the thumbnail picture.

Cool news though with that said, videogames are fun.

I enjoyed TWD and Batman Telltale games for what they were, but they're just so damn repetitive.

Not my cup of tea, but I'll check this one out just bc of Stranger Things.

Hopefully this allows Telltale Games to hire more employees, because I like the company and seeing it growing means more people will be employed.

I'm an absolute sucker for TT games.

I'll probably watch the show just so I can play this.

I'd do a lot of unspeakable things if it meant Telltale would make a Star Trek video game. It's perfect for them.

This show ain't that great to be honest. It feels like a "Best Of Plagiarism" compilation.
