Ghostbusters VR is another take on the co-op ghost-hunting genre

Meta announced Wednesday a Ghostbusters cooperative game that was published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality. It is being developed by nDreams. The game was announced alongside a brief trailer that shows an original cast of characters exploring an abandoned factory with their ghost-hunting gear. Predictably, there’s a ghoulie about, and they need to stop it from wreaking havoc with their gadgets and proton packs. The trailer allows for some banter, as is fitting for the source material.

This is the second Ghostbusters co-op title to be announced recently; in March, we learned about Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, a more traditional co-op game for PCs and consoles. There’s a lot of promise in a VR version of Ghostbusters, and similar games like indie horror title Phasmophobia have been very successful.

While players can play the game solo if they wish, it is possible to also play the game with three or more friends. It seems that the game was designed to be played in a group and to learn some strategies. Ghostbusters VR does not yet have a release window.
