In 2020, the show is said to be getting its own mobile game.Over the past few months, the Netflix show ramped up its partnership with brands working with the likes of Coca-Cola to bring back its 80s-themed “New Coke” for a limited period. Also leaving its bite marks are the folks at Burger King who have created the “Upside Down Whopper”, in partnership with Netflix, which will be made available in major cities in the US. Nike too released a new collection last month based on the show. As such, the global sports brand decided to follow the trend back in 1985, which is the year Stranger Things' Season three is set on.
