Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
IllFonic

A new Ghostbusters game is set to be released later this year. IllFonic is the studio behind Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds. If you are familiar with Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters, the basic premise will feel familiar.

The Ghostbusters will have four players. You can use the PKE Meter to detect a ghost and use the Particle Thrower and Ghost Trap. You will need to subdue the ghost before they can make a museum, prison, hotel or other public location too haunted.

The fifth player will control the ghost. You can fly between rifts. The ghost can summon things. They can stun the Ghostbusters so they can continue their haunting ways.

In the Ghostbusters firehouse, you will be able to upgrade your abilities and equipment, and practice firing the Particle Thrower. Two of the original Ghostbusters are back. You will get help from Ray Stantz at his bookstore, and you will get missions from the man.

If you don't feel like playing online, you can play as a solo ghost or Ghostbuster with the help of an artificial intelligence. Everyone else will get cross- platform support for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.
