Sony Pictures VR is launching a new Ghostbusters VR game called ‘Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord.’ The new version of the beloved ghostbusters series was initially confirmed in April 2022, allowing players to squad up with three friends or solo to run a ghostbusting business. Tasked with "stopp[ing] the powerful Ghost Lord and his band of malevolent ghosts from causing chaos," players will have to navigate through San Francisco and catch frightening figures along the way.
The next Ghostbusters game won't be a direct sequel to the 2021 movie ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife,’ Sony Pictures VR said in a statement. The publisher stressed how crucial it was for the game's creator, nDreams, to move forward and create a different, yet comprehensive storyline.
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord will release in 2023.
