Things still aren’t okay in Hawkins. Will might be back but there still seems to be a darkness lurking in town.

The short trailer shows off footage from a classic Eggo commercial from back in 1979—perhaps reminding us that Eleven is still okay.

But that might not be the case in the near future. 9to5Google’s Stephen Hall tweeted that Google informed him that Assistant is coming to future updates of the Nexus 5X and 6P.
