After generating excitement with an announcement last June, Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is now set to land with great fanfare on October 26, 2023, and not just on the platforms initially planned. Developed by nDreams in collaboration with Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, this immersive virtual reality action game, initially announced for Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 2 Pro, will also make its appearance on PS5, thanks in particular to support for PSVR 2. Ghostbusters fans will be delighted to know that this title will be available just in time for Halloween. The game will be shown again at the latest PlayStation State of Play, on September 14, 2023.
The main appeal of Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord lies in its commitment to offering a cooperative multiplayer experience in VR, a true tribute to the teamwork symbolized by the famous Ghostbusters franchise. No film in the saga has ever featured a lone hero facing down paranormal entities; here, there's strength in numbers, allowing players to don the franchise's iconic gear while battling some particularly snarling spectres. And to further enrich this adventure, the game introduces a new storyline, new locations, freshly designed equipment and new characters.
Thanks to advanced PSVR 2 technology, Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord offers unprecedented immersion. From features such as eye-movement tracking, which revolutionizes in-game precision, to immersive lighting that plays on emotional ambience, to the headset's haptic feedback that makes players viscerally feel the presence of ghosts, everything has been designed to plunge players right into the heart of the action. Add to this the adaptive triggers of the PSVR 2 Sense controllers, which enable more tangible interaction with the Ghostbusters ' equipment and even the crushing of mischievous little marshmallows, and you have the ultimate VR experience for all fans of the series.
Note that nDreams has also collaborated closely with Ghost Corp, the guardians of the Ghostbusters universe. In anticipation of the game's release, pre-orders for Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord on PSVR 2 are already available, also offering a special"Full Containment" edition packed with additional content.
