Autumn 1987. Hawkins has been marked by the opening of the portals and our heroes are united by a single goal: to find and kill Vecna, who has vanished into thin air: it is not known where he is or what his plans are. Complicating the mission, the government placed the city under military quarantine and intensified the hunt for Eleven, forcing her into hiding again. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, a heavy and familiar fear takes hold. The final battle is upon us, and with it a darkness more powerful and deadly than anything you’ve ever faced before. To put an end to this nightmare, the entire group must remain together, for the last time.
