Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, a 4v1 haunt-or-hunt action-packed video game, from the asymmetrical multiplayer experts at IllFonic is primed to release new information on the game’s year two, FREE DLC roadmap. Fans can expect a heightened focus on interactive play and so much more.

“We have been so focused on building an immersive world, one fans would recognize and appreciate,” remarks Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer at IllFonic. “Our goal now is to double down on the feel. As a long-time Ghostbusters fan, I want to feel immersed. Our drive for DLC year two: heighten the fun, heighten the experience.”

IllFonic has planned four major DLC releases throughout 2024. The first release, in March, will coincide with Columbia Pictures’ upcoming release, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, out in theaters on March 22. Fans will get to try their hand at taking down Garraka, master of the Death Chill and the newest villain to join Ghostbusters lore. Or maybe fans want to play the heavy themselves and plunge the world into a new ice age. Either way, this DLC will let fans live out experiences inspired by the new movie’s adventure. The free DLC will also include more Ghostbuster gear – proton packs, suits, and more.

Future DLCs will also include a 40th Anniversary announcement, a return of a fan favorite, a bounty challenge for the ages, and more. Each DLC focuses on gameplay, a ghastly ghost, and team gear/gadgets to make busting feel oh-so-good. No matter what, fans of Ghostbusters have the chance to unite forces or rally against each other seamlessly across platforms, whether playing on PC/Epic Games Store/STEAM, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch.

In Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Ray Stantz, and Winston Zeddemore open the Firehouse to you and the next generation of Ghostbusters. This asymmetrical game of hide and seek is a 4v1 setup where players will either be part of a team of new Ghostbusters or a Ghost. This title not only allows players to enjoy the game solo or with up to four friends but also features an online and offline single-player mode available in the form of bot-assisted play. Most importantly, the more you play, the more the story will unfold (with cutscenes). Whether haunting or hunting, the game is easy to learn and fun to master!
