‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed – Ecto Edition’ Now Available on the Switch and Steam
It just wouldn’t be the Halloween season without Ghostbusters. And for Switch fans, the day has finally arrived with the launch of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed – Ecto Edition via the Nintendo eShop. Not only that, but Spirits Unleashed is also now available on Steam after being previously releases on the Epic Games Store.
“We are super excited to bring Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed to all gaming platforms,” says IllFonic CEO & Co-Founder Charles Brungardt. “As a lifelong fan of Ghostbusters, IllFonic has been hard at work to bring busting and haunting to all fans with the Ecto Edition. We are expanding the story, adding new maps, ghost types, and more.”
Also available as a free update for current players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, the Ecto Edition includes a new story expansion, new ghost types, two new maps and more.
The story expansion adds several new story acts to the narrative progression of Spirits Unleashed, including a new adversary to battle. To access the new content, all you have to do is level up your character.
As for the new ghost type, the Overlord and its variants have arrived just in time for Halloween. This new ghost type is imbued with never-before-documented passive abilities that makes them even more difficult to tether. The Overlord’s aura emits a looming dread, compounding a creeping sense of fear within anyone in range. Overlords don’t “slime” or “shock” those in their way; rather, they devastate them by swiping with their claws, and hurling any physical objects that are in range.
For the new maps, we get a haunted restaurant in Petey’s Pirate Cove, and the Galway Subway Station, which has seen an influx of old-timey train cars and encounters with tormented apparitions.
Lastly, there’s a whole new assortment of cosmetics and gear shells to unlock, along with the usual bug fixes and improvements.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
