Netflix is making a Pokemon Go-style Stranger Things game

In addition to the Dark Crystal game, Netflix has announced two more games, both based on Stranger Things, and teased a Fortnite-Stranger Things collaboration, presumably timed for when the new TV series airs on 4th July. You've probably already seen the Stranger Things Scoops Ahoy ice-cream shop in Fortnite's Mega Mall; Netflix said "there's more to come soon".

Of the new Stranger Things games, the most interesting is a Pokemon Go-style, location-based game known (for now) as Stranger Things Mobile Game, for Android and iOS devices.

In theory, it's a good fit. The game revolves around The Upside Down and how it's hidden all around you in your day-to-day life - a central theme in the Stranger Things TV show. You'll apparently have to work together with friends to overcome the evils escaping from there.
