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.

Lady Death fans will be getting a video game to call their own. Franchise creator Coffin Comics has announced that Lady Death Demonicron, a canonical beat-em-up video game in the Lady Death universe, has been funded on Kickstarter and is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of developer Art of Play Games.

With Lady Death Demonicron, the Lady Death franchise marks its 30th anniversary, which began way back in 1994 (though the character first appeared back in 1991). The Kickstarter for Lady Death Demonicron launched just three days ago, and has already reached its goal of $150,000 USD, with the campaign on until May 24.

“We’re excited to handcraft the next chapter of Lady Death in video game form with the creator of Lady Death Brian Pulido and his incredible team,” says Ash Nicholls, Director at Art of Play. “It’s time for Lady Death to conquer the video game space with the leadership of Art of Play,” says creator Brian Pulido. “Demonicron is true to Lady Death’s savage spirit. I can’t wait for players around the world to get their hands on it.”

Lady Death Demonicron will centre on Lady Death (naturally), who just wishes to mourn her friend in peace. Unfortunately, a horde of demonic enemies has swarmed the cemetery gates. These malevolent forces hound Lady Death between realms, invoking a hunt through alternate realities that bring forth a sinister mystery. Poised to help is Ravenheart, a haunted swordsman prepared to accompany Lady Death through these ominous realms in search of answers to a convoluted mystery.

In Demonicron, players will move through hand-drawn environments, accessing the heroine’s lethal sword skills, destructive magic, and strong intuition. You’ll be able to upgrade your kit as you battle through the beat-em-up’s 15 levels, earning new swords and uncovering brutal finishers to slay a path to victory.
