Watch Gameplay from Upcoming AR Game ‘Ghostbusters World’
You’ll be able to turn your smartphone into a ghost trap and bust ghosts around your neighborhood with the AR game Ghostbusters World, teased in further detail today.
Sony Pictures Entertainment and Ghost Corps in collaboration with mobile game publisher 4:33 Creative Lab present Ghostbusters World, a state of the art augmented reality game that’s coming to iOS and Android later this year.
“Ghostbusters World gameplay will enable players to battle and capture hundreds of ghosts from all dimensions of the franchise, including the films, TV shows, comic books, theme parks, and video games. The game will also feature new and unique ghosts to the franchise.”
Out of the Game Developers Conference, check out a “let’s play walkthrough” video showing the full scope of Google Maps API integration, interaction with the environment, and new ghosts being caught, as well as a new gameplay video below!
“The Ghostbusters Universe is rich in characters and Ghostbusters World is the perfect medium to get to know these characters in a whole new dimension,” said Ivan Reitman, Principal, Ghost Corps, and Director & Producer of the original Ghostbusters movie.
The game features the latest in AR and other mobile technologies and differentiates itself with skill-based gameplay and other exciting features yet to be announced.
Running With Scissors first revealed their first-person shooter Flesh & Wire back in February. The developers have popped up again with a new trailer, offering prospective players a first glimpse at the nightmares lurking with antiheroine Angel in this POSTAL franchise spinoff that seeks to return to the first game’s dark and violent theme and setting.
Meet Angel, a normal college student with her whole life ahead of her, and Solomon, her loyal sphynx cat. In a sudden muzzle flash of horrific violence, the two find themselves swept up in a waking nightmare of blood, conspiracy, and retribution.
Pursue all-consuming vengeance as the duo seeks answers, no matter the cost. Go on a bloody tear, crossing paths with law enforcement, the National Guard, and a sinister cult that will stop at nothing to prevent Angel from finding the truth – and how it all connects to franchise protagonist the Postal Dude.
“Angel is the first time we’ve introduced a new protagonist to the POSTAL series, and she’s already resonating with both new and long-time fans,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “Her story taps into the darkness that characterized the first game in the series, and today’s new trailer gives our community a first look at Angel’s feline companion, and the atrocities awaiting in Dreamscape.”
Look for Flesh & Wire to launch in 2027 on PC via Steam, GOG, and PlayStation 5.
