Announce Trailer

Narrated by Ghostbuster Winston Zeddemore, played by the legendary Ernie Hudson, Illfonic shows players the basics of Ghost-busting as the ghostly games ensue. Equipped with Proton Packs, Particle Throwers, Ghost Traps, and a PKE Meter, players who choose to be Ghostbusters will attack and capture the gassy nuisances authentically.

But, for the first time, the Friday the 13th devs allow players to become the ghosts. What happens next? We’ll have to join the unhinged chaos to find out.

What do we know about gameplay?

The Ghostbusters will be based in the iconic firehouse, much like the lore of the original film. There, they will have access to the Ecto-1, while Winston and Ray Stantz – voiced by Dan Aykroyd – will offer guidance on ghosts and the spectral world told through Ray’s Occult Books.

The gameplay stays true to the action of the iconic films.

As a legendary Ghostbuster, you will be able to squad up with the other team members as you attempt to attack, trap, and subdue pesky ghosts.

In museums, hotels, and other locales, the Ghostbusters will have to utilize every weapon in their arsenal to prevent the spirits from entirely leaving the areas haunted.

If you choose the ghost’s route, the player’s gameplay differs… a lot. Spirits will be able to fly, sneak, scare, and slime the Ghostbusters as they haunt the area.

Spirits can also haunt civilians to increase the area’s haunt limit. To combat the Ghostbuster’s weapons and hi-tech weapons, Ghosts will have to utilize tricks, deception, and Ectoplasm to rout their opposition.
