The rumor persistently of recent times has finally materialized to become a reality.

Now become a global phenomenon, Stranger Things has landed, the air of nothing and with no big communication behind, in the summer of 2016. With its soft atmosphere of melancholy and poetic, the series of Ross and Matt Duffer has been able to appeal to a new panel of spectators, eager to reconnect with the atmosphere of the 80’s.

Through multiple tributes ranging from the Goonies to E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial, or even Poltergeist, Stranger Things has very quickly established itself as the THE series to see these last few years and the show’s flagship Netflix.

Roger, we will come back in a video game

With the halo of success to the top of his head and a darn good reputation, Stranger Things had already seen an adaptation of the video game on your phone. Minimal, yes, but it was fucking effective, and had been a good promotional vehicle to promote the arrival of season 2. Now, Stranger Things joined the big league alongside Batman, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Guardians of the Galaxy in an adaptation of the video game from Telltale.

The news was announced via the in-game editor for the conference of E3 (salon of the video game) that takes place this time in Los Angeles.

Separately, we’re thrilled to confirm that Telltale is developing a game based on the Stranger Things that we’ll publish to consoles and computers at a later date. (2/3)
