It’s been a couple of years since we called on the Ghostbusters with release of Spirits Unleashed. But today comes news of the Year 2 Roadmap, with new content dropping into game alongside the release of the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire film.Â
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a 4v1 haunt-or-hunt action-packed game, created by the asymmetrical multiplayer experts at IllFonic. Having first released on Xbox, PlayStation and PC in 2022, it’s now time for some all-new content to hit.
It’s here where the game’s year two, FREE DLC roadmap comes to the fore. And with it fans can expect a heightened focus on interactive play and so much more.Â
New content in line with the film
“We have been so focused on building an immersive world, one fans would recognize and appreciate,” remarks Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer at IllFonic. “Our goal now is to double down on the feel. As a long-time Ghostbusters fan, I want to feel immersed. Our drive for DLC year two: heighten the fun, heighten the experience.”
IllFonic has planned four major DLC releases throughout 2024.
The first release will drop in March, coinciding with Columbia Pictures’ upcoming release, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, out in theaters on March 22nd. Fans will get to try their hand at taking down Garraka, master of the Death Chill and the newest villain to join Ghostbusters lore. Or maybe they’ll get the opportunity to play the heavy themselves and plunge the world into a new ice age.
Either way, this DLC will let you live out experiences inspired by the new movie’s adventure. The free DLC will also include more Ghostbuster gear – proton packs, suits, and more.
What’s to come?
There’s more though. Future DLCs will also include a 40th Anniversary announcement, a return of a fan favorite, a bounty challenge for the ages, and more. Expect to find these in Summer, Fall and Winter.
IllFonic promise that each DLC focuses on gameplay, a ghastly ghost, and team gear/gadgets to make busting feel oh-so-good. No matter what, fans of Ghostbusters have the chance to unite forces or rally against each other seamlessly across platforms. They’ll be able to do that no matter whether they are playing on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC/Epic Games Store/STEAM, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch.
