Telltale Games – the company behind episodic adventures The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy, Batman and Minecraft: Story Mode – has announced that it is turning its attention to Hawkins, Indiana for a new game based upon the hit Netflix series Stranger Things.
Separately, we're thrilled to confirm that Telltale is developing a game based on Stranger Things that we'll publish to consoles and computers at a later date. (2/3)

Details on Telltale’s plans for Stranger Things are scarce – as in non-existent, but it’s presumably safe to assume that it too will be an episodic adventure, and – like with The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones – it is probable that it will focus on its own original story and characters.
Filming is currently underway on the third season of Stranger Things, although it isn’t expected to hit Netflix until 2019. Meanwhile, it was also announced last week that netflix is teaming up with Penguin Random House to publish a series of books set in the Stranger Things universe, including an official companion book and a prequel novel detailing the story of Eleven’s mother.
