When Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed was launched, players got access to five unique maps. To rile things up, a new map is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023 and it’s named The Facility. As a quick background, The Facility was closed for good sometime in the late 1980s but was recently bought by a private investor group which had plans to renovate and reopen it. Unfortunately, there's a lot of ghostly activity happening within and the construction crew is refusing to enter the haunted health center.
In a statement, Design Director Jordan Mathewson shared that the look The Facility gives players that unique feeling when compared to current job locations. He added that the varied corridors combined with medium-sized rooms are stacked up so that it provides a unique and more intimate gameplay experience but with a creepier aesthetic. He went on to say that there will be interesting ways to fully use these new areas to the players’ advantage, whether as Ghostbuster or Ghost. Mathewson ended by saying that they'll be sharing more soon.
New Ghost Type
A new map isn’t the only thing that players can look forward to next year. There’s also the new Ghost type called the Muncher, which is the most requested to date. Haunting enthusiasts won’t be disappointed once they get their hands on this spirit.
Players should also be happy to know that new character customization options are coming as well in DLC #1. Expect more images and details to be released as the release date gets closer.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed was released in October 2022 with players being able to take on the role of Ghostbusters wielding a proton pack and trying to catch Ghosts that haunt five unique locations. As they progress, players can unlock upgrades and cosmetics. Players can also choose to be the Ghosts and enjoy unique skills and ultimate abilities.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is priced at $39.99, available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
