Netflix continues to invest in interactive entertainment, both through choose-your-own-adventure episodes ofshows likeBlack Mirrorand full-fledged video games likeStranger Things. The company will make an appearance at E3 2019, and it still has someunannounced adaptationsthat it will be showing off. The question is, of course, just what will they be?
Speaking to the official E3 account on Twitter, Netflix’s science-fiction account NXOnNetflix revealed that it will be hosting its own panel at E3 in June. The panel will be called “Bringing Your Favorite Shows to Life: Developing Netflix Originals into Video Games.”
How does this sound:"Bringing Your Favorite Shows to Life: Developing Netflix Originals into Video Games"?

Stranger Thingswas confirmed to make an appearance during the panel, with the account adding that there is “more to come.”
Presumably, this means that a video game adaptation of at least one more of Netflix’s original series will be announced at E3.Stranger Thingswas turned into an isometric action game similar to those popular in arcades during the time when the show is set, but this likely wouldn’t work for other Netflix series.
An action series based onOzarkor a point-and-click adventure inspired byChilling Adventures of Sabrinaseem like good choices. We areveryunlikely, however, to see anything based on the Netflix Marvel series, which were canceled in advance of Disney launching itsDisney Plusstreaming service.
Netflix already has some other experience with television and video games, but not in the way you might expect. The Telltale seriesMinecraft: Story Modewasbrought to the streaming service. Taking the adventure gameplay of the original release and turning it into an interactive television show, it offered a different way to experience the humor and story for those unfamiliar or uninterested in traditional video games.
Among Netflix’s latest interactive programs isYou vs. Wild, starring Bear Grylls. In the series, you make choices to help the legendary outdoor expert survive in the wilderness, and each episode takes place in a vastly different environment. Naturally, it’s the most fun to figure out how to make Grylls do something silly.
The latestStranger Thingsgame sequel,Stranger Things 3: The Game, is scheduled to release on July 4 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
