Rather than playing as characters from the original films (or modern sequels, to which this is a followup), players will create their own ghostbusting team. Other than that, you’re armed with the familiar tools of the trade: PKE meters for tracking the spectres, proton packs for blasting the ghosts, and traps for caging them.

IllFonic say they want to create a multiplayer game for all ages, as distinct from their previous gorier fare. For that reason, defeated ghostbusters don’t die, but enter into a downed state.

This isn’t the first Ghostbusters game. The original cast reassembled for a third-person action gamethirteen years ago, which got amore recent remaster, and Activision parped out an action-RPGa few years back. Both games were decent, unlikeSanctum Of Slime.

Much like that aforementioned remaster, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will be exclusive to Epic’s game store, the Epic Games Store, when it launches later this year.
