If you can't get enough of anything to do with Stranger Things, a mobile game is on the way.

A location-based puzzle RPG game based on the series is on the way in 2020, set to be released on iOS and Android devices.

Netflix announced the game during a E3 panel on Wednesday, and it'll be partnering with Finnish game studio Next Games for the release.

Detail is scant, but the game will feature Google Maps integration and allow players to explore The Upside Down on their daily commute and travels -- hello, Pokémon Go.

"No matter where you are at in the world, you can fight and battle against The Upside Down, even in your own backyard," Chris Lee, Netflix’s director of interactive games, said on the panel.

"They developed this amazing '80s, retro, Saturday morning cartoon art style that we’ve absolutely fallen in love with."

To note, this has nothing to do with Stranger Things 3: The Game, which is slated for release on Jul. 4, on the same day the third season arrives too.

On the E3 panel, Netflix revealed some additional screenshots of the beat-em-up title's gameplay.
