Video game developer Mojang has partnered with Netflix to bring a new set of "Stranger Things" skins to "Minecraft," in line with the premiere of the series' second season.

The new skin pack based on the hit Netflix series features a comprehensive assortment of skins from characters from both seasons, including Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) and Jim Hopper (David Harbour). Even the alternate universe's Demogorgon is represented.

A glimpse of the new "Stranger Things" skin pack can be seen in the trailer below. Spoiler alert, some skins might give a clue on what happens in season 2.

Interested players can purchase the retro adventure on all "Bedrock" versions of "Minecraft" — mobile, Windows 10 and Xbox One — for $3. It is also available at the Minecraft Marketplace for 490 coins.

The "Stranger Things" pack came along with the "Minecraft" patch notes for the 1.57 update. This includes a limited-time Halloween-themed arena and special layers.

The Battle Mini Game also gets a "Custom" option. This enables players to choose the number of lives in each round and the number of rounds to play before the winner is selected. It has also added an assortment of options to control how players heal and how quickly they get hungry.

A "Custom" option has also been added to the Tumble Mini Game. This also enables players to choose the number of lives for each round, as well as the number of layers and the size of each layer.

The "Minecraft" Halloween Spooktacular event, meanwhile, is in full swing. Players can enjoy special themed content and activities on the game's official servers — a haunted house parkour course in the Lifeboat server, the Haunted Mansion SkyWars map in InPvP, and the Pumpkin King quests in Mineplex.

"Minecraft's" Spooktacular event runs until Oct. 31.
