Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Preview – An exclusive look at a haunted prison in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
Ghostbusters are back in town and will soon light up the ghosts in a new asymmetrical multiplayer game from IllFonic, the development studio behind Friday the 13th: Games and Predator: Hunting Ground. In an exclusive new look at the upcoming studio Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, we see four packs of charged protons and ablaze against a purple Slimer-like ghost with too many eyes. This battle takes place in a prison setting that IlllFonic feels is a must for this game.
“We wanted to think of places where gamers could imagine ghostly activity and where it could actually be haunted,” said Jared Gerritzen, creative director of IllFonic. The story is told around the campfire. Therefore, this location must be included when making the map. “
In the various clips I saw of the battle on Stone Island, all was not well. Mannequins are placed on the table to eat or play chess. Purple ectoplasm dripped from most of the ceiling, and wheelchairs roamed the hallways with no one in them.
“The prison map has a lot of open and vertical spaces,” says Gerritzen. But there are also close quarters in certain parts of this map. The prison map has quite a bit of diversity that at first glance might be overlooked.”
Even if the player-controlled ghost tries to use vertical gaps to create distance, Ghostbusters won’t fall far behind thanks to the Vertical Ascension Device (VAD). The PKE Meter can also track it, if the Ghostbusters fall too far behind. While impersonating a new character, you’ll interact with some of the original Ghostbusters from the 1984 movie, including Ray Stanz and Winston Zeddemore. Some locations will also be familiar. The Firehouse and Ray’s Occult Books are a pair you’ll see.
IllFonic is currently slated for a Q4 launch for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed on PlayStation and Xbox, as well as PC. Few licenses make sense for a 4v1 experience like Ghostbusters. I can’t wait to see how this plays out.
