Your favourite Netflix Original characters will be coming to your gaming consoles soon!
Netflix hosted a panel at the E3 Coliseum on 12 June to discuss its foray into the video game industry. Titled “Bringing Your Favorite Shows to Life: Developing Netflix Originals into Video Games”, the panel looked at how the company hopes to drive fandom with these games.
With the help of some of the world’s most talented game developers, fans will have the opportunity to experience the worlds of the original series and films they love.
Three upcoming games have been announced so far, with the first one launching just next month. Stranger Things 3: The Game comes out on 4 July 2019. More information and teaser art below!

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics
- Available on: Nintendo Switch, XBOX One, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac — digital only

In this location-based RPG/puzzle game, players can explore The Upside Down through their mobile phones (like Pokémon GO!) and work together with other players to overcome its emerging evils.
Apart from standalone video games, Netflix is also integrating its Netflix Original characters and worlds into existing games. Partners in this initiative include Roblox, Ubisoft, and Behaviour Interactive. Keen-eyed fans may have already spotted the Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlour from Stranger Things in Fortnite’s Season 9—more will come later this year!
