Asymmetrical multiplayer game Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed is set to launch on PC and consoles in time for Halloween 2022, and an extra-spooky Collector’s Edition for consoles has been announced to add to the mood. It is packaged inside a replica case of the Tobin’s Spirit Guide and includes an exclusive poster, stickers, and a display stand. Purchasers will also get Advance Access to the Basher Ghost, a rare Ectoplast Skin, Ghostbusters RTV Kit Ghost Trap, and a special PKE Meter.

​

From developer IllFonic, this action-packed four versus one game allows fans to play out their Ghostbusting fantasies. Play solo or with up to four others as either the iconic Ghostbusters in a team of four versus the Ghost in an asymmetrical multiplayer battle (online or solo offline with AI support). As players progress, they will unlock cosmetics and upgrades for both Ghostbusters and Ghosts to evolve their gameplay experiences.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has all the iconic gear and gadgets, from Proton Packs to PKE Meters and Ghost Traps, that fans and new players to the universe will enjoy. Ghosts have multiple abilities in their arsenal such as possessing objects and sliming that make haunting all the various locations a blast to play.

Features of Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed include:

• 4v1 Gameplay Setup – Slime or be slimed! Play with up to four friends or solo as a new member of the Ghostbusters or a Ghost.
• A New Story with Old Favorites – As you progress through the game, unlock new story elements and scenes featuring iconic characters, Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore, from the Ghostbusters universe.
• Explore Iconic Ghostbusters Sets – Just like in the movie, the legendary Firehouse is the players’ Ghostbusters hub where you personalize your equipment and target practice before the big mission. Explore Ray’s Occult Bookstore to enter the Ghost Realm and customize your Ghost.

Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed: Collector’s Edition will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One for $69.99.

Okay, now THIS is a game! I am pumped!

Good date. But will the game be good? I dunno.

Hopefully the Switch version comes later..?

we really don't need more of these dead by daylight knock offs...

Looks fun, but just don't see it selling that well for $70. Especially when it'll be so dependent on others playing too. Though this is the collectors edition, so maybe the base will run ~$20.

This would be the perfect game for gamepass, where it will eventually end up anyway.

Does it have bots for offline? or just online only all the time with random people?

I still remember when the Ghosts vs Ghostbusters was going to be a mode in the Wii game. Would have been so cool, sad that never came to pass. Neat that they finally incorporated that idea into a game though.
