Netflix has introduced Stranger Issues VR, a brand new recreation that may let followers of the present play as Vecna, the large unhealthy from season 4. Tender Claws, the developer, guarantees that the sport will present some extra info and backstory concerning the creepy villain who terrorized Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas, and the others final season.
In season 4 of Stranger Issues, the children and adults of Hawkins, Indiana needed to face off with the lethal, dream-invading villain, Vecna. (A reputation given to him by the children and based mostly on a Dungeons & Dragons villain.) Vecna was a harmful foe in a position to kill individuals by way of desires, making him onerous to defeat. Season 4 left Vecna’s actual standing unclear. Whereas it appears unlikely that this new VR recreation will be revealing the place or if Vecna remains to be round, will probably be delving into his previous and origin.
Right here’s the official description from Netflix and developer Tender Claws, who beforehand developed Vast Ocean Massive Jacket:
Stranger Issues VR will permit followers to expertise the world of Stranger Issues from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, varieties the hive thoughts, and enacts his plan for revenge towards Eleven and Hawkins. Gamers will invade the desires and reminiscences of fan-favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to battle people and creatures alike, as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and his affect on the occasions of prior seasons is revealed.
Maybe the factor I’m most inquisitive about is the bit on the finish of that description, the promise that we’ll see how Vecna influenced previous seasons of the present. We all know Vecna was round in some kind in the course of the earlier seasons, however how he connects to the occasions of the present previous to Season 4 has but to be totally fleshed out or defined. And whereas there are some fascinating fan theories on the market, I’m excited to see a extra official have a look at what Vecna was as much as in Hawkins earlier than and in the course of the previous seasons.
Stranger Issues VR received’t be out till Winter 2023 and Netflix doesn’t say which platforms it would launch on past a obscure promise of all “main” VR platforms. My guess is PSVR 2, which will likely be out subsequent 12 months, in addition to Meta Quest 2 and PC VR by way of Steam. Hopefully, this can maintain over Stranger Issues followers because the look forward to Season 5 continues. And hopefully, this new recreation is healthier than the tasteless season 3 recreation Netflix beforehand launched in 2019.
