New Extended Gameplay Video Released for ‘Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden’, Along With New Red Echoes Edition [Watch]
With Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden locked in for a November 7 release, Focus Entertainment and developer DON’T NOD have dropped more gameplay footage from the upcoming action-RPG. The devs have also announced that pre-orders are now live, including the newly-announced Red Echoes Edition for those wanting something a little different from the Collector’s Edition.
In a world where the souls of the departed roam, you play as a couple of Banishers. Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith are experienced spirit hunters, entrusted with the daunting task of lifting a malevolent and ominous curse. After an ill-advised attack, Antea is killed, leaving her lover in solitude and profound despair. Torn between their vows to protect the living from malicious spirits and the nightmare of Antea’s condition, they’ll wander the eerie wilderness of North America to liberate her from her new plight. Whatever the cost.
Enter the lives of New Eden’s communities in a world plagued with supernatural creatures and ancient secrets. Combine Antea’s spiritual powers and Red’s arsenal to defeat and banish the souls that torment the living. Uncover secrets, navigate mysterious landscapes, and meet memorable but tormented characters whose fates rest in your hands.
Meanwhile, DON’T NOD and Focus have revealed the new Red Echoes Edition of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. While not quite as stacked as the Collector’s Edition, this edition of the game contains some interesting collectibles, including a leather-effect notebook illustrated with Red’s memories, an ink writing set, the game on any platform, and the Wanderer Set DLC.
The Collector’s Edition of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is still very much available on Focus Entertainment’s store, and includes the following:
There’s still time to choose the Collector’s Edition of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden to get:
- The game on any platform with the Wanderer Set DLC
- A modular statuette of Red and Antea
- The game’s official artbook
- A Steelbook case
- Two Banishers signet rings
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Behaviour Interactive Reveals New Chapters, Content & More During ‘Dead by Daylight’ Anniversary Stream [Trailer]
What the Fog wasn’t the only new announcement during the 8th anniversary livestream for Dead by Daylight . Behaviour Interactive is pulling out another out of nowhere crossover this time with Dungeons & Dragons. On top of that, fans will be treated to a Castlevania Chapter later in the year, as well as the long-awaited 2v8 Mode.
Coming June 3rd, Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons will introduce iconic D&D villain Vecna, known in Dead by Daylight as The Lich, as the new Killer. Meanwhile, a Bard, Aestri Yazar is the new Survivor. The new Chapter will also include a new map, Forgotten Ruins, taking players to a mysterious dungeon full of easter eggs for longtime D&D fans. Staples such as getting loot, magical items, and rolling dice will also be woven into the gameplay.
Players can try out the new Killer, Survivors, and gameplay features in the Public Test-Build, available now.
Meanwhile, the 2v8 Game Mode was announced for Dead by Daylight, offering a brand-new gameplay experience. The widely-requested mode will see 2 Killers face off against 8 Survivors on a much larger map. To ramp up the action, several gameplay adjustments have been made including the replacement of Perks for what essentially amounts to a class system and the addition of Cages instead of Hooks. More information on the 2v8 Game Mode will be revealed in a future livestream this July.
The good news didn’t end there, as fans were also treated to the enigmatic Project T, an in-development PvE action-horror shooter. Players will be able to join the Insider Program to receive exclusive news, and the chance to participate in playtests and share their ideas and feedback on the game.
Regarding The Casting of Frank Stone, which Behaviour has been teasing with small lore clips over the past week, a new gameplay trailer was revealed, hinting at the game’s branching narrative as the creation of an independent movie “unlocks horrors beyond comprehension.”
Lastly, Castlevania will be joining Dead by Daylight later this year as a new Chapter. Details will be revealed later this year, but fans did get a glimpse of what to expect with a teaser trailer.
