‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’ Summons Third Free DLC, Price Drop Today [Trailer]
It’s a new month, and IllFonic is marking it with the release of the third free DLC for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Not only that, but the game is also receiving a permanent price drop of $19.99 USD.
As for DLC 3, alongside the usual fixes and Quality of Life updates to Spirits Unleashed, it also adds a new map, a new Ghost type in the Watcher, and new cosmetics that reference the 2016 Ghostbusters film.
The New Motion Club map is described as “a pillar of the New York underground music scene”. After a change in ownership, the venue was expanded to include a two-thousand square foot street level dance hall with the original basement stage reimagined as a comedy club. What new ownership didn’t account for though, was a recent spike in paranormal activity.
As for the new Watcher Ghost, it bears a close resemblance to the Bug-Eye Ghost toy from years gone by (and from its brief appearance in Ghostbusters: Afterlife). And much like the toy, the Watcher is able to launch eyeball towards intended scare targets, and then either recoiling it back to its socket, or pulling its torso to the eye itself, phasing through anything that stands between them.
Currently, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is available for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store. Also, keep an eye out for the Nintendo Switch Ecto Edition of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.

Definitive Edition of Throwback Survival Horror Game ‘Doctor Viscera’ Launches June 23 [Trailer]
For those who enjoy their survival horror gaming with a side of old-school cheese, you have Liminal Road’s Doctor Viscera. Released last October on Steam, the game is set to receive its Definitive Edition next week on June 23rd, with plans for a release on consoles to be shared soon. The Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition will include a variety of improvements, adjustments, and new content designed to make the experience even more intense. All of this content will be available free to existing owners.
For those not in the know, Doctor Viscera is a throwback survival horror title with PSX-inspired visuals, where you must escape the abandoned GrimmHaus Asylum. You must explore the asylum’s various rooms, find useful items, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas and discover escape routes. At the same time, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the Doctor and his grotesque experiments.
The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the Nurse, a brand-new enemy who will actively pursue players throughout the campaign. Although slower than the eponymous doctor, the nurse introduces a completely different gameplay dynamic by using ranged attacks with a firearm, forcing players to rethink their routes, strategies, and survival tactics.
Under certain circumstances, you can disarm the Nurse, creating entirely new situations and possibilities within the game.
Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition also introduces a new area to the map, featuring a tram system. In addition to serving as a new exploration route, it can also be used to quickly escape pursuers and travel between different sections of the asylum.
The update also brings improvements across multiple aspects of the experience, including:
- Level design changes
- Puzzle redesigns
- Performance optimizations
- New immersive audio system
- Controller support
- New menu interfaces
