Recently IGN revealed a trailer for a new video game based on the Ghostbusters brand. The game will be titled, “Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed,” and is a 4v1 asymmetrical multiplayer game. The is being developed by Illfonic, who is best known for developing the Friday the 13th and Predator: Hunting Grounds games. The trailer features a look at the setting of the game and also reveals that Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddoremore) and Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stanz) will be reprising their roles for the game. Currently it is unknown if Bill Murray will return to reprise his role as Dr. Peter Venkman. That being said, the trailer also reveals that the game is set after Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The game is set to launch for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC in Q4 2022.
I did enjoy Ghostbusters: Afterlife and it was great to see the returning actors to reprise their roles. The new characters were also alright, although I did feel that Paul Rudd’s character was a bit over promoted in the trailers. The new game looks pretty interesting and it will be cool to actually play as the ghosts this time around. While I am not a big Ghostbusters fan I did enjoy the previous Ghostbusters game so I have some experience with a game based on this beloved franchise. Overall I think this is a pretty great idea for a game based on Ghostbusters and I will be eagerly waiting to see more of this game in the future.
