Netflix releases new mobile title Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales developed by Next Game

A new mobile game based on the Stranger Things franchise has been officially launched today. Netflix helped Finnish studio Next Game develop the title, which marks a new step for the streaming giant in its expansion into the games industry.

Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales is now available on iOS and Android. It is a puzzle game combining match-3 and RPG elements.

“We are thrilled to launch this game together with our partners at Netflix,” Next Games CEO Teemu Huuhtanen said (via PocketGamer), adding that it is a story-driven title.

Netflix now has a few Stranger Things-based games available via subscription with no ads or in-game purchases. However, it is unclear whether Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales will arrive on the streaming service.

In September, it was announced that Netflix is now developing VR title Eden Unearthed for Oculus Quest. The news was followed by the acquisition of Night School Studio, which became the first game developer to join the streaming giant.
