‘Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden’ Out Today on PC and Consoles [Trailer]
The long wait to play DON’T NOD’s narrative Action-RPG Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is over. The game arrives today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, accompanied by the customary launch trailer that hits on the necessary notes to get prospective players interested, including the relationship between the game’s protagonist ghost hunters, Antea Duarte and Red Mac Raith.
From the developer behind Life is Strange and Vampyr, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden was initially revealed during The Game Awards 2022, and is set in 1695 in New Eden, where communities of settlers are plagued by a curse. As Banishers, Antea and Red are trained spirit-hunters, protecting people from lingering specters. But when tragedy strikes and Antea herself becomes a ghost, Red struggles between honoring his Banisher oath, and sacrificing the living in a desperate bid to bring Antea back.
As Banishers, you will enter the lives of New Eden’s communities and solve haunting cases in a mystical, lore-rich world plagued with supernatural creatures and ancient secrets. Use your wits or combine Antea’s spiritual powers and Red’s arsenal to defeat and banish the souls tormenting the living.
Challenging decisions will lay on your path, dramatically impacting your story and the fate of New Eden’s inhabitants—be they living people or wandering souls.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
