‘Stranger Things VR’ Gets a New Gameplay Trailer, Fall 2023 Release [Video]
Back in November, Netflix teased that they were in the process of developing Stranger Things VR. Apart from the announcement trailer, we didn’t get much else. Netflix had fixed that with a new gameplay trailer, as well as narrowing down a Fall 2023 release date for the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. Pre-orders are now available on the Oculus Store at a discount price of $26.99.
Developed by Tender Claws, Stranger Things VR will have you playing as Vecna seeking revenge on Eleven and Hawkins. Players will invade the dreams and memories of fan-favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to possess minds and battle creatures, as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and his influence on the events of prior seasons is revealed.
The new trailer unveiled during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase gives you a taste of some of the things you’ll be doing in the Upside Down, including combat and the eventual crossing over through gates.
The original announcement stated that you’ll become an “explorer of unknown realities as you form the hive mind and tame the void.” You’ll also be able to invade minds and conjure nightmares in your quest for revenge.
Meanwhile, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things is set for a 2024 release.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
