‘Ghostbusters VR’ Coming to PSVR2, ‘Ghostbusters VR Academy’ Announced
With a new animated series on the way, and two feature films in tow, nDreams’ upcoming Ghostbusters VR also had an update yesterday. Not only is the game heading to Meta Quest 2, but also the PlayStation VR2!
Announced via the official Ghostbusters Twitter account, the four-player co-op adventure will head to Sony’s still-in-development platform. Though like the release date for the previously-announced Meta Quest 2, no release date has been announced for the PSVR2 version.
Ghostbusters VR is to be published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and developed by nDreams, the latter whom has worked on previous Ghostbusters titles, as well as Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever. In Ghostbusters VR, you’ll be running a new Ghostbusters HQ in a new city, San Francisco. Go at it alone, or as a team with up to three friends in co-op in an extensive and engrossing campaign.
If that’s not enough busting for you, per Gamespot, Sony is planning on a new location-based virtual reality game called Ghostbusters VR Academy. Developed by Hologate, the new VR game will let players take part in Ghostbuster training and pilot a flying version of the Ecto-1 in a high-speed race to see who’s the fastest. Of course, you’ll also be strapping on your proton pack in teams of four, and take on missions where you’re tasked with catching a ghosts. Ghostbusters VR Academy will be playable at 400 Hologate locations globally by the end of 2022.
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.
