IllFonic annonce Ghostbusters : Spirits Unleashed

After a decent return to the cinema crowned with a 200 million dollar box, the SOS Ghost license will also return to video game this year. Sony and Columbia Pictures mandated the Illfonic Studio to realize Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, a game that fits in the great tradition of the studio already known for Friday 13, Predator Hunting Grounds and Arcadegeddon.

And if really none of these games do not mention something, then simply remember that Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed takes the form of an asymmetrical multiplayer game in 4 against 1 in which a team of ghost hunters join forces to Track their target, itself embodied by a lonely player, through different cards (museum, prison, hotel).

In good official game of the seal of Columbia Pictures and Ghost Corps, the subsidiary in charge of extending this cult license of the 80s, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed takes up all the iconic elements of the films, which we speak of the Proton packs, the paranormal activity detector, the particle launcher, the fire station acting as GQ, the ecto-1 function Cadillac or characters like Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) and Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), knowing that the game fits canonically following the events of the latest film Ghostbusters: AfterLife.

In the role of the ghost, which unlike hunters is played in the third person, players will have the advantage of mobility and can therefore fly or teleport between the faults. They will also have the ability to detect humans through the walls or to own the objects that hang out in each room to escape the hunters and speaked the passers-by. Four ghosts were unveiled for the moment, including the indispensable food-all.

It is also known that companions controlled by the IA will complete the teams if necessary in order to enroll the wait between the parts, which are calibrated to not last more than 10 minutes. In the tone of the movies, the game promises to be accessible and non-violent, have specified the creators. It aims at a launch at the end of the year 2022 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and Epic Games Store with Cross-Play support.
