New Story Trailer for ‘Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord’ Details New Villain, New Ghostbusters HQ [Video]
We’ve been waiting on just when exactly we’ll be able to suit up with our Proton Packs in nDreams and Sony Pictures Virtual Reality’s Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord ever since it was announced last June. Sony Pictures Virtual Reality has now narrowed down the release date to Fall 2023, along with the release of a new story trailer.
Debuting during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, the story trailer for Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord details just who exactly is the Ghost Lord, along with showing off the Ghostbusters’ new San Francisco HQ.
“Who is the Ghost Lord? Why is he in San Francisco? And why is he obsessed with the Ghostbusters? Fans have been asking us about Ghost Lord since we announced the name of the game, so we’re happy to finally share more about this supervillain that expands the Ghostbusters universe,” says Jake Zim, Senior Vice President, Virtual Reality, Sony Pictures Entertainment. “In our newest story trailer, players will begin to unravel the mystery of Ghost Lord along with tons of easter eggs that should be familiar for fans of the Ghostbusters franchise. The fate of the city, and the Ghostbusters’ legacy, lie in the hands of players who ain’t afraid of no ghost.”
Developed by VR developer and publisher nDreams and published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, Rise of the Ghost Lord will see players step into the boilersuits of a new cast of characters at the start of their journey running their own ghost-busting headquarters out of San Francisco. Legendary locations in the city such as the Golden Gate Bridge will be brought to life across an extensive and engrossing campaign where players can go solo or team with up to three friends in co-op to stop the powerful Ghost Lord and his band of malevolent ghosts from causing chaos throughout the city.
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is currently being developed for the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and PlayStation VR2.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
