New Stranger Things Game Stars Vecna, Will Reveal More About The Villian - Kotaku

Netflix has announced Stranger Things VR, a caller crippled that volition fto fans of the amusement play arsenic Vecna, the large atrocious from play four. Tender Claws, the developer, promises that the crippled volition supply immoderate much accusation and backstory astir the creepy villain who terrorized Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas, and the others past season.

In play 4 of Stranger Things, the kids and adults of Hawkins, Indiana had to look disconnected with the deadly, dream-invading villain, Vecna. (A sanction fixed to him by the kids and based connected a Dungeons & Dragons villain.) Vecna was a unsafe foe capable to termination radical via dreams, making him hard to defeat. Season 4 near Vecna’s nonstop presumption unclear. While it seems improbable that this caller VR crippled volition beryllium revealing wherever oregon if Vecna is inactive around, it volition beryllium delving into his past and origin.

Here’s the authoritative statement from Netflix and developer Tender Claws, who antecedently developed Wide Ocean Big Jacket:

Stranger Things VR volition let fans to acquisition the satellite of Stranger Things from the never-before-seen position of Vecna arsenic helium explores chartless realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his program for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins. Players volition invade the dreams and memories of fan-favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to conflict humans and creatures alike, arsenic Henry Creel’s translation into Vecna and his power connected the events of anterior seasons is revealed.

Perhaps the happening I’m astir funny successful is the spot astatine the extremity of that description, the committedness that we volition spot however Vecna influenced past seasons of the show. We cognize Vecna was astir successful immoderate signifier during the erstwhile seasons, but however helium connects to the events of the amusement anterior to Season 4 has yet to beryllium afloat fleshed retired oregon explained. And portion determination are immoderate absorbing instrumentality theories retired there, I’m excited to spot a much authoritative look astatine what Vecna was up to successful Hawkins earlier and during the past seasons.

Stranger Things VR won’t beryllium retired until Winter 2023 and Netflix doesn’t accidental which platforms it volition motorboat connected beyond a vague committedness of each “major” VR platforms. My conjecture is PSVR 2, which volition beryllium retired adjacent year, arsenic good arsenic Meta Quest 2 and PC VR via Steam. Hopefully, this volition clasp implicit Stranger Things fans arsenic the hold for Season 5 continues. And hopefully, this caller crippled is amended than the bland play 3 game Netflix antecedently released successful 2019.
