Illfonic has caused a stir with its announcement that it will be releasing Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed on PC <\/a>and console later this year. You may recognize the developer\u2019s name from a familiar title, Predator: Hunting Grounds<\/a>. It seems as if it will be bringing the same type of gameplay, with four players facing off against one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this type of social gaming has been around for some time, we only saw a focus on the genre when Among Us<\/a> become popular. Fortnite<\/a> soon incorporated the same elements, but we\u2019ve enjoyed other titles that let you hunt down players<\/strong>. Some examples include Friday the 13th<\/a>, Dead by Daylight<\/a>, and Murderous Pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what we\u2019ve seen so far, it seems there\u2019s a slight turning of the tables in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Instead of one player hunting the others, you\u2019ll have four characters<\/strong> searching for the ghost. You may recognize the main characters from the original movies, but there will be a few new faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this light, it\u2019s similar to Call of Duty<\/a>\u2019s prop hunt mode in several of its latest games, except you\u2019ll be hunting a ghost and not props. We\u2019re not sure how much of a story Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will have, as the main focus will be on the multiplayer component<\/strong>. It seems Illfonic will be doing what it does best, just with a different brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until we get more details, you can check out the official trailer<\/strong> for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleased<\/strong> below. What we like so far is that you can place AI bots in any empty slots if there aren\u2019t enough online players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
