New Ghostbusters Game Confirms 4v1 Multiplayer & Playable Slimer
IllFonic, the development crew best known for Friday the 13th: The Game, has announced Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, a new asymmetrical multiplayer title featuring playable Ghostbusters and playable Ghosts. The team at IllFonic received the short end of the stick when it came to Friday the 13th, since the horror game launched amid a legal dispute between the brand's creators that brought all copyrighted use to an abrupt halt.
It didn't take long for the studio to bounce back, though. In 2020, IllFonic unleashed Predator: Hunting Grounds on PC and PS4, offering up another asymmetrical multiplayer adventure based on a classic horror franchise. This 4v1 experience placed four players in the role of an elite fireteam tasked with trackig down the titular Predator. Admittedly, Hunting Grounds failed to hit the mark in many respects, resulting in a quickly dwindling player-base. But IllFonic's latest announcement makes it clear that the team plans to continue evolving its 4v1 gameplay formula.

Today, March 22, developer IllFonic shared details about its next major release — Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. A 4v1 multiplayer experience akin to Friday the 13th: The Game, Spirits Unleashed will allow players to put on a Proton Pack and assume the role of a Ghostbuster. Of course, given the asymmetrical nature of the game, users will also have the ability to play as a Ghost like Slimer. The title lacks a firm release date at the time of writing, but should launch in the fourth quarter of this year for PC via the Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
