The upcoming Planescape reboot will also play an important role
Ever fancied becoming the bad guy? Well, a new Stranger Things VR game that mixes psychological horror with action is coming from creative studio Tender Claws in 2023, and it casts you as telekinetic monstrosity Vecna. The game’s been commissioned by Netflix, with the series writers involved in creating it. I’m not sure exactly how involved they are, but the trailer is suitably Stranger Things enough that it’s not that big a deal if they just looked at it and went “Yes, fine.” You can watch it for yourself below.
If you watched Stranger Things season four, took one look at Venca and thought ‘god I wish that were me,’ you’re in luck, because Stranger Things VR makes that dream come true!
Strangers Things VR is being made in collaboration with Netflix from Virtual Virtual Reality developer Tender Claws, and rather than letting you play as one of the kids, this time round you’re playing as season four’s big bad Vecna. Taking on this role, you’ll be invading the memories and dreams of characters from the show, and you can “harness telekinetic powers to battle humans and creatures alike” (via Eurogamer).
The game is described as a “pyschological horror/ action game,” so presumably not one for the faint of heart. It’s also planned for all major VR platforms, though no specifics on which those are, and should be launching winter 2023, but again no more details than that.
