PvP Hide-And-Seek Title ‘Midnight Ghost Hunt’ Exits Early Access on March 21 [Trailer]

Two years after launching into Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, Coffee Stain Publishing and developer Vaulted Sky Games have announced that their four-on-four hide-and-seek game Midnight Ghost Hunt will be exiting the service and launching in full on March 21. The 1.0 release will see all ten of the game’s maps get a revamp graphically and from a gameplay standpoint, as well as new bot AI, new cosmetic updates/changes and more.

“We are beyond excited to finally bring Midnight Ghost Hunt out of Early Access into the hands of our players,” said Sam Malone, Vaulted Sky Games creator and lead developer. “This two-year Early Access period has given us a fantastic opportunity to really listen to everyone’s comments and opinions and make some great changes. We’re now super proud of where we have the game for its 1.0 launch.”

As mentioned, all ten of the game’s maps have been given a graphical facelift with new designs, new layouts, and new lighting. The maps have also been tweaked with new strategic hiding spots and improved gameplay flow.

The maps aren’t the only thing that have received a graphical boost, as everything from the ghosts themselves to the weapon FX to the interior of your van have received some TLC.

It’s not all looks, mind you. Both the Hunter and Ghost bots have received a “MAJOR upgrade” in their AI, which will employ “improved strategies and navigation”. You can now direct your bots to wield specific weapons or perks, or simply have them follow your lead. They also now have 3 difficultly levels for you to choose from (easy, normal, hard), or leave them on auto to adjust on the fly.

For those that need a refresher, Midnight Ghost Hunt sees a a group of four Ghost Hunters are assigned to clear out a series of haunted locations a la Ghostbusters. Countering them is a group of four players who play as the Ghosts. The Hunters have their ghostbusting equipment at their disposal, while those who play as the Ghosts have the ability to hide inside pieces of furniture to escape being caught. The Ghosts can then go on the offensive with a telekinetic bombardment, aka throwing stuff at the Hunters.

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.
