Behaviour Interactive didn’t go into any details at the time, but today they’re announcing that theStranger Thingscollaboration, which comprises of survivors Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington, and the monstrous Demogorgon appearing as a killer.
In a statement given to TRG, Behaviour Interactive’s head of partnerships Mathieu Côté said: “We’re thrilled to renew this collaboration with Netflix, to bring back the Stranger Things Chapter, including the Underground Complex Map from the Hawkins National Laboratory, and the iconic Survivor duo composed of Nancy Wheeler, a tough aspiring journalist, and Steve Harrington, a former high school jock with a knack for finding trouble. We hope players who didn’t get to experience Stranger Things will take full advantage of this gaming experience today."
