Stranger Things VR, a new game from Netflix and Tender Claws that allows you to play as Vecna, will be released on major VR platforms in the summer of 2023.
Stranger Things VR was announced during the Stranger Things Day 2022 celebrations in a short video which can be seen below.
The description reads, “Play as Vecna in this new Stranger Things adventure in VR. Become an explorer of unknown realities as you form the hive mind and tame the void. Invade minds and conjure nightmares in your quest to enact revenge on Eleven and Hawkins.”
For those who don’t know, Vecna is the main antagonist of Stranger Things’ fourth season. Jamie Campbell Bower (who made a guest appearance at this year’s Comic-Con Africa) plays him as an adult, and Raphael Luce plays him as a child.
Tender Claws previously worked on Virtual Virtual Reality 1 & 2, The Under Presents, Tempest, Tendar, and George in the Tub. While there isn’t much more information about the upcoming game, Tender Claws did share the below description:
“Stranger Things VR will allow fans to 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. Players will invade the dreams and memories of fan favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to battle humans and creatures alike, as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and his influence on the events of prior seasons is revealed.”
