Coming off the momentum of the recent movie, which had rave reviews, a new Ghostbusters game has been announced and is ready for release.
Spirits Unleashed is currently under its final testing period and is set for a Q4 release on PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC. Illfonic released a trailer on its Youtube channel, and the game looks incredible, showing off gameplay and story sequences. What should attract players to the game is that not only can you play it as a Ghostbuster, but you can also play it as a ghost trying to take down the Ghostbusters.
Here are all the details from the official Illfonic press release, and you can also check out the Youtube video below.
Put on a Proton Pack, grab a Ghost Trap, and monitor the trusty PKE Meter as a Ghostbuster in a team of four brave souls pursuing ghastly ghosts terrorizing public locations. Work together to find the Ghost, blast them with streams from the Particle Thrower to tether the slimy foe in place, and shut the trap at the perfect moment! Keep citizens calm and corral the Ghost before the environment gets too haunted.
Play as a Ghost, scaring unsuspecting citizens at various locations. You ain't afraid of no Ghostbuster, thanks to the ability to fly and teleport between rifts. Possess objects lying around each room to sneak by roaming Ghostbusters and frighten passersby. If that doesn't work, sliming and summoning ghoulish minions will. Haunt each map to completion as one of multiple Ghosts with different abilities.
Prepare for each match in the iconic Firehouse by customizing your Ghostbuster or Ghost, upgrading equipment and abilities, and getting some target practice in using the Particle Thrower as well as its different modifications. Talk with Winston Zeddemore, voiced by Ernie Hudson, and get missions before going out into the field. Meet some new and old friends like Dan Aykroyd's Ray Stantz, ready to hand down some busting wisdom at Ray's Occult Books.
Who you gonna call when you wanna bust some ghosts? Thanks to cross-platform multiplayer, anyone on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and/or Xbox Series X|S or One can come together to cross the streams or spew slime. AI companions can help fill games, or enablE solo Ghostbusters or a solo Ghost to play offline.
