Illfonic Working on New ‘Ghostbusters’ Game?
With Ghostbusters: Afterlife busting into theatres very soon (for reals, this time), it would seem that we’re also in for another Ghostbusters video game. At least, that’s according to singer/songwriter/record producer Raphael Saadiq, of all people.
Snagged by PCGamesN, while on the Questlove Supreme podcast, Saadiq dropped news about an hour into the episode that his studio Illfonic is currently working on the game. No other information was given on the project, nor has there been an official announcement. Given Illfonic’s resume, with having worked on Friday The 13th: The Game and the more recent Predator: Hunting Grounds, it’s safe to assume that the game is in fairly good hands.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife, starring Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd and directed by Jason Reitman, opens in theaters on November 19, 2021.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]
Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.
Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.
The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.
Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
