At the height of its success, Telltale Games was a powerhouse developer thanks to its foothold on episodic games and a host of partnerships with other companies, ranging from The Walking Dead to Batman. It was no surprise then when Telltale Games announced that its next partnership would be with Netflix to produce a Stranger Things game, owing to the show's ongoing success. Sadly, fans' excitement for the project was short-lived, as following the studio's sudden shutdown in 2018, most of its projects were canceled regardless of development, Stranger Things included.
