‘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.
Publisher Lyrical Games has announced that One More Level’s first-person Souls-like Valor Mortis will arrive October 13 on PlayStation 5,the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Those itching to get a chance to play the game ahead of its launch can check out the demo that’s available now on Steam.
The demo includes two chapters: Chapter 1: Revival introduces the core combat system on a ravaged battlefield. The second chapter is a brand new midgame level where players use William’s transmutation powers to traverse a destroyed bridge to the Lighthouse, with a steeper difficulty curve that previews what’s ahead.
Set in a supernatural reimagining of 19th-century Europe, Valor Mortis casts players as William, a resurrected soldier of the Grande Armée who wields both Napoleonic-era weaponry and devastating supernatural powers. Guided by Napoleon’s disembodied voice, you must traverse ravaged battlefields, sprawling mountains, and European-inspired cities consumed by a grotesque, continent-wide plague — the same corruption that pulses through William’s veins and gave him life.
The new trailer places the relationship between William and his Emperor, Napoleon, front and center. It marks Napoleon’s first appearance in the game, portrayed by César Award-winning actor Vincent Cassel, as he warns William of his newfound abilities and poses a question to players: what would you sacrifice for power?
As this is a Souls-like, you’ll experience challenging, stamina-and-skill-based combat designed to feel threatening and immersive. Every death is a stepping stone to mastery as you perfect your ability to parry blows, dash out of harm’s way, and deliver ravaging, visceral finishers. You’ll also make use of William’s newfound mobility to outrun and flank Napoleon’s plague-ridden Eternal Guard in Metroidvania-style exploration. Progress carefully, uncover environmental secrets, and survive the rotting remnants of an endless war.
