Exploring theStranger Thingsuniverse outside television screens,Stranger Things: Puzzle Taleshas reimagined the critically acclaimed series, so players can take control and experience their favorite characters as they solve puzzles and defeat the show’s infamous enemies. The release of Season 4 provided fans with new fan favorites, and that—of course—includes none other than Eddie Munson. And with over 30 playable characters, theHellfire Clubleader joins the RPG game to fight the ultimate enemy.
To matchEddie Munson’s eccentric personality, lead game designerVesa YlhäinentoldTudumthat her team “went wild” in creating the new playable character with a unique ability to match the strength of the game’s first main antagonist,Vecna. Moreover, apart from Eddie Munson and Vecna, Tudum reported that the newest update also includes new Hellfire Club campaigns, withErica Sinclair’s Lady Applejack variant arriving soon.
How the Game Works
Described as an RPG game styled after the “80s Saturday morning cartoon,” players can develop their team of characters, includingEleven and Mike Wheeler, as well as the rest of the fan favorites, in an adventure game that will bring fans to the show’s popular locations, such as Starcourt Mall, Palace Arcade, and Upside Down. Players must solve puzzles and other missions in order to defeat enemies like theDemogorgonsand other villains, including Vecna.

The addition of Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) added more dynamics to the series. He became an overnight favorite thanks to his cool persona and 90s grunge aesthetic. However, like Billy (Dacre Montgomery), Eddie also didn’t stand a chance. After sacrificing himself to save his friends—which was both an iconic and heartbreaking scene—Eddie died as he tried to distract the Demobats while playingMetallica’s “Master of Puppets,“which would eventually cost him his dear life. Apart from Quinn, Season 4 also provided viewers with new characters (both good and bad), including Argyle (Eduardo Franco), Chrissy Cunningham (Grace Van Dien), and Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower).
