The Stranger Things mania that has engulfed the world (and died down slightly) since season one has not produced an enormous roster of spinoffs, until now (unless of course you count the nostalgic reference on the runway of Louis Vuitton SS2018).
The annual Game Awards were held last night and, along with announcing the years best in gaming and a new Mortal Kombat, the showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer came onstage to introduce the trailer for the aptly named Stranger Things 3: The Game. The little trailer was made specifically for the Game Awards, and features two character (Chief Hopper and Steve, maybe?) showing up outside the awards show after smashing their way through some enemies.
