New ‘Phasmophobia’ Update Grants Ghosts Further Abilities, But Furniture is Now Your Friend
Kinetic Games has given Phasmophobia fans another update, this time adding even more creepy abilities for the ghosts to use on players, tweaking the difficulty during the hunting phase. The developer also added that the future updates will include new maps, ghost types and new equipment.
For starters, ghosts are now harder to evade, with their movement speed increasing over time (save for Revenants) if they see you during a hunt, and they will only leave you alone if they can’t find you at your last known location. Furthermore, ghosts now have a 50% chance to remember the last location they saw you in during the last hunt, and will in turn search that place first during the next hunt.
Want more? If you keep talking inside a locker or closet, and the ghost knows you are in it, the ghost will now fully open both of the doors on its second attempt, even if you are grabbing them.
Luckily for players, it’s not all one-sided. Furniture will now block the line of sight between you and the ghost, granting you more places to hide in all maps, rather than just closets and lockers. Ghosts will also now remain in place during the starting phase of a hunt. However, the starting phase has been reduced from eight seconds to five.
There are also several bug fixes and changes to the UI, which you can read up on from the Steam page.
Phasmophobia is currently available on PC via Steam.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game
Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.
Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”
In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”
Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.
Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
