New Ghostbusters Game Announced
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – April 15, in the year of our
Lord 2016 – Activision Publishing, Inc., in
collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, has
announced a pair of new Ghostbusters video games set in and
inspired by the comedic action world of the upcoming
Ghostbusters film, in theaters July 15. Taking place after the
events of the new movie, both Ghostbusters games introduce new
casts of rookies keeping watch over the station while the
now-famous Ghostbusters tour the country stopping high-profile
poltergeists. When paranormal phenomena unleash apparitions
across New York City, these new squads of recruits must don
their proton packs and wrestle those rogue spirits back to the
afterlife!
The console game, Ghostbusters, is a third-person action
role-playing game positively charged for thrilling couch co-op
with up to four players locally. As rookie Ghostbusters, players
can level up their characters’ gear and abilities by tackling
objectives, defeating ghastly creatures and discovering hidden
collectibles in Manhattan’s most haunted haunts. There are four
heroes to choose from, and each has his or her own unique
personality and play style, bringing special strengths to
support the team.
Ghostbusters is expected to arrive on the PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam on July
12.
The mobile game, Ghostbusters: Slime City, lets players be a
Ghostbuster and save New York City from a new wave of threats.
Team up with other players in asynchronous co-op, and collect
powerful ghosts to rise to the top of the leaderboards. Players
can also craft their own proton packs from any number of
combinations of components, as well as upgrade their own
headquarters and complete jobs around the city for new weapons
and rewards.
Ghostbusters: Slime City is expected to launch in July on select
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices via the App Store, select
Android devices via Google Play and select Kindle devices
through the Amazon Appstore.
