Stranger Things is one of the most popular Netflix series ever, with multiple award nominations and over 140 million people tuning in for the latest season. The cultural phenomenon has been nominated for 230 awards and won over 70 worldwide. Now, just ahead of the highly anticipated fifth and final season, fans can step inside the beloved series like never before, in full-body VR.
In STRANGER THINGS: CATALYST, players become Dr. Brenner’s test subjects and explore the sinister halls of Hawkins National Laboratory, the eerie glow of the Rainbow Room, the shadow-haunted woods of Mirkwood, and the nightmarish Upside Down. Every location comes alive with stunning visuals and mind-blowing action sequences. Players can fight like Eleven using incredible telekinetic powers to hurl objects, crush obstacles, and fight back against supernatural threats like Demobats, Demodogs, and even the terrifying Demogorgon.
Turn Your World Upside Down
Trapped in Hawkins National Lab, players and their friends must escape, rescue survivors, and overcome an onslaught of supernatural creatures. Can you trust Dr. Brenner? Or are you just one of his lab rats? Players will discover the mysteries of the lab and learn the true limits of their powers. The rift to the Upside Down is open. The enemy is coming, and the fate of Hawkins is in your hands. Stand together, or fall alone, in STRANGER THINGS: CATALYST.
“The launch of STRANGER THINGS: CATALYST represents the culmination of our most ambitious collaboration with Netflix yet,” said Steve Zhao, Founder and CEO of Sandbox VR. “By creating an entirely new chapter in the Stranger Thingsuniverse, we’ve crafted an experience that goes beyond anything fans have seen before. Our technology allows players to truly embody the supernatural powers they’ve watched on screen, creating unforgettable moments as they face the thrills of the Upside Down alongside their friends.”
Sandbox VR is creating the future of entertainment by building the world’s most immersive experiences using bleeding-edge virtual reality technology. Their patented motion-tracking technology, which captures the movements of a player’s entire body, combines with a high-quality haptic system to provide players with unprecedented realism and complete immersion that’s not possible with home VR or other location-based VR platforms. Players’ own bodies act as their game controllers; all they have to do is step into the virtual world and participate in the action unfolding all around them.
This marks Sandbox VR’s third collaboration with Netflix, following the tremendous success of Squid Game Virtuals and Rebel Moon: The Descent. Squid Game Virtuals has achieved remarkable success since its launch, generating record-breaking sales and attracting millions of players worldwide. All Sandbox VR experiences are developed by an in-house AAA gaming studio led by game industry veterans and are specifically designed for groups to play as social experiences. Teams of up to six friends freely roam and explore virtual worlds together while relying on each other to succeed.
