Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is Illfonic’s new asymmetrical multiplayer game that really surprised us
in the past Gamescom in Cologne, we had the opportunity to test and see many games that will be released in the coming months. One of the things that surprised us the most was Ghostbusters: Spirits Freed, an asymmetrical multiplayer in which we can live the experience of being a first-person ghost hunter or even “embody” the ghost himself. An idea that fits perfectly with the very nature of one of the most legendary sagas in the world of cinema.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed comes from the North American studio Ilphoniccreators of Friday the 13th: The Game, Predator: hunting grounds or the recent shooter arcade multiplayer. Who feel particularly comfortable in this genre which has become popular in its time Evolve and continued throughout these years with other titles such as Dead in broad daylight.

After playing a game with Illfonic’s own developers, our impressions were really good. We had to be part of the ghostbusters team with the others developers and track down a ghost controlled by another press partner. Although my experience was with keyboard and mouse, since the version we tested ran on a PC, the game control was quite smooth and with some fairly easy-to-learn mechanics.
At our disposal we had the classic beam gun to weaken the ghosts, a radar anomaly detector and the classic trap to catch the ghosts. The scenarios are large enough to have to separate the team in search of the ghost but very well connected between its different rooms. As hunters, we have to weaken the ghost to finally catch it before it kills us. Communication will be crucial to strategize and not fall one by one
Who are you gonna call?
As a ghost, our main task will be to strengthen ourselves by scaring the different NPCs that are in each phase. We will be able to blend into the environment by taking the form of an object and try to go unnoticed. During this time we will accumulate power to eventually fill the Ghostbusters with pink goo and win the game.
The developers themselves have confirmed to us that there will be hundreds of cosmetic items to customize our characters. They also told us that it will have a system of matchmaking so that every player can enjoy their favorite role with ease.
In short, a title that we were pleasantly surprised by his gameplay and conquered us for the intellectual property it represents, impossible not to be moved by the melody of its soundtrack. Then we leave you with the Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed trailer.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will be released on October 18, 2022 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox OnePS4, PS5 and PC. If you want to be informed of all the news from the world of Xboxfollow xbox community through our social networks Twitter, Tic there Youtube.
