Late last year, Netflix announced “Stranger Things VR,” a new VR experience based on “Stranger Things,” where players take on the role of season four baddie Vecna. On Thursday, it was announced the new experience would arrive this fall on Meta Quest.
In “Stranger Things VR,” players experience the world of “Stranger Things” from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins.
This new VR experience will give players a different perspective of past seasons of “Stranger Things” as they invade the dreams and memories of fan-favorite characters like Will Byers and Billy Hargrove as you manipulate them to do your bidding. Players will even have the chance to relive memories from Henry Creel’s time at Hawkins Lab with Dr. Brenner.
Players will also be able to harness telekinetic powers to possess minds and grab, crush, and throw creatures as they transform into Vecna, and his influence on the events of prior seasons is revealed.
“Stranger Things VR” is developed by Tender Claws and based on the hit Netflix series. The game is currently available for pre-order at a discounted price of $26.99 and is expected to arrive this fall.
