‘Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered’ Gets an October Release Date!
Announced back in May, a remastered version of 2009’s Ghostbusters: The Video Game is on the way, and today we’ve learned that it’ll arrive just in time for the Halloween season!
The game will release on October 4 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game was essentially a brand new sequel to the films, co-written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis and featuring voice performances from Aykroyd, Ramis, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson. Set two years after the events of Ghostbusters 2 (in 1991), you play an unnamed rookie character being trained by Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, and Zeddemore.
After a PKE shockwave disperses ghosts all over New York City, you and the gang are tasked with saving the day, and the team eventually discovers that Ivo Shandor is trying to bring another Gozer-like Destructor into the world of the living. Along the way, they (and you) have run-ins with Slimer, the Library Ghost, Walter Peck, Vigo the Carpathian and Stay Puft.

Critical Reflex Debuts ‘Grobnopolis | Last Days’ Gameplay Trailer, ‘Sated’ Playtest Signups [Video]
Critical Reflex has followed up the April reveal of Bananadevjeff’s Grobnopolis | Last Days with a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming narrative horror adventure, as well as announcing signups for the first playtest for their recently-announced roguelike horror cooking game, SATED.
For those who missed it, Grobnopolis | Last Days continues and expands the story of Bananadevjeff’s itch.io hit Funeralopolis, and casts players as an apartment block caretaker in 1983 Huta-Grobno. You find fragile comfort in keeping things running smoothly while the city curdles into panic. When the locals begin to whisper of a thick “Soup” overtaking the streets and the local ecclesiastical order tightens its grip on your community, you must piece together what’s happening through newspapers, uneasy conversations, and a homemade radio. Though you may find in this slow, oppressive atmospheric horror experience that curiosity is both compass and curse.
Meanwhile, SATED is a cooking roguelike from developer Forest Reges, where you descend into a dripping megastructure to cook increasingly grotesque delicacies for ever-hungrier monsters. Your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied…or become the meal yourself.
As mentioned, you can sign up for the upcoming playtest via the official Steam page. Just click the “Request Access” button and wait.
