Charge your proton packs. IllFonic has announced that their asymmetrical multiplayer game Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will be open for business just in time for Halloween.
Per Gematsu, Illfonic has announced that Spirits Unleashed will arrive for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store on October 18. Pre-orders are now available at retailers, while digital pre-orders go live on August 18.
Digital pre-orders include advance access to Slimer, a custom Particle Thrower and Proton Pack, and special clothing colorways. Meanwhile, physical edition pre-orders includes advance access to the Basher Ghost, a rare Ectoplast skin, remote trap vehicle kit and a special P.K.E. meter.
Much like what you’d expect from a Ghostbusters game, in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, you’ll form a team with up to three other Ghostbusters to track down Ghosts that are haunting a particular location. Or, if you so choose, you can be the cause of the haunting as the Ghost itself.
As a Ghostbuster, your job will be to find the ghost, capture it using the iconic gadgets from the series, and discover hidden rifts acting as the Ghost’s spawn points and teleportation portals, and destroy them. As the Ghost, you’ll be roaming around, scaring civilians and possessing objects to raise the overall Global Haunt percentage. To counteract the Ghostbusters, you can use slime to temporarily stun Ghostbusters, move the rifts to keep them guessing, and even summon minions to make an escape.
And while you wait, check out our preview of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.
