Developed by BonusXP, the same company that released the mobile gameStranger Things: The Gamelast year,Stranger Things 3: The Gameallows players to play along with the storyline of the the third season as more than 12 playable characters, some of them new to the show. Each character has a unique ability to contribute to the adventure and progress through each level, according toPolygon, so be prepared to play through this at least a dozen times. The game can be played solo or as a split-screen local co-op (there is no online play).

The new game trailer shows scenes ripped right from theStranger Thingsseason 3 trailer, including the sweet emotional moments between Jim Hopper (David Harbour) and Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder). It even opens with the same misguided surprise to Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), which results in Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) getting rodent spray right in his eyes. But as we saw from the lastvideo game trailer, it won’t follow the season exactly word-for-word — the kids get to murder some guards, video game style.

Stranger Things 3: The Gameis coming to PlayStation 4, Mac and Windows PC and Xbox One, with “a streamlined version” for mobile platforms onJuly 4, 2019.Stranger Thingsseason 3 hits Netflix on the same day.
