Free DLC Update for ‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’ Available Today
Teased back in December, IllFonic has announced the first DLC for their asymmetric multiplayer title Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. In fact, you can play it today! Touted as the first of many free DLC packages to play, this DLC is free for those who have purchased the game, this DLC pack includes a new map, new ghost and new firehall additions.
Along with tweaks to the tweaks to game matchmaking and bot AI, this new Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed DLC includes a new map in the form of The Facility. Initially closed for good in the late 1980s, The Facility and has been recently purchased by a private investor group, who have plans to renovate and reopen it. Unfortunately for them, it’s being plagued by ghostly activity, and construction crews refuse to enter this haunted health center.
“This job location [map] is clearly worn by time which gives players a unique feeling compared to our previous job locations [maps]”, explains design director, Jordan Mathewson. “Construction
workers are civilians and have begun a restoration of this facility that has uncovered why it was abandoned in the first place. Varied corridors combined with medium-sized rooms are built stacked up to provide a unique, more intimate gameplay experience with a creepier aesthetic. There will be some interesting ways to utilize these new areas in this map to each player’s, Ghostbuster or Ghost, advantage.”
Along with the new map, the DLC introduces the Glutton ghost type, which includes Muncher from Ghostbusters: Afterlife, as well as two additional variants.
Lastly, the Firehall includes new character customization options, gear like the Belt Gizmo and Disruptor Pylon, along with improvements to gear attachments, and more. That includes themed equipment that resembles the gear that appeared in “The Real Ghostbusters” cartoon!
lllfonic plans to release similar DLC drops each quarter of 2023 for free, in addition to the continued Quality of Life patches.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is now out on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store.
Fans of October Games and Full Moon Features’ Puppet Master: The Game (which is free to play, by the way) have a new update to dive into today, ahead of the game’s reported Early Access exit this week. Alongside the usual tweaks and bug fixes, the Underworld Update adds a new map and a new human in Watcher, as well as grants new unlockable cell-shaded skins for the puppets and more.
The new map is the eponymous Underworld, which is Sutekh’s Egyptian temple, drawing inspiration from both Puppet Master 4 and Retro Puppet Master. Other maps—Fifth Floor, the Attic and Rick’s Lab—have all received remastered lighting and optimization as part of the update.
The new Watcher humans are the resurrected undead mummy servants of Sutekh, solely tasked with eliminating anyone who tries to steal Sutekh’s secret of life. The Watcher is equipped with the Power of Sutekh ability, which allows them to project demonic energy that detonates on impact, causing a 3-second ragdoll effect to those hit by it. The Watcher also has several cosmetic skins, which you can unlock with XP.
Puppet Master: The Game players also now have access to more weapons, this time with a bone theme in the Femur (a new melee weapon), a Skull and an explosive Ebony Skull. There’s also the new Grenade, which causes ragdolling and kills anything within its radius.
Lastly, the Underworld Update tweaks the puppets in regards to their Night Vision. Puppets now have a togglable light source attached to them that only they can see, which gives them the ability to see in the dark. And for those looking for a comic book look to the puppets, you can spend your XP to unlock Cell Shaded Comic Book skins for each puppet.
