According to previous IllFonic titles – such as Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds – and in collaboration with Columbia Pictures and Ghost Corps, players will be able to control either one of four Ghostbusters or a singular terrifying specter.
By joining the newest Ghostbuster in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed – and inheriting the position of original member Winston Zeddemore (repeated by Ernie Hudson) – you’ll be armed with a Proton Pack, PKE Meter and Ghost Trap.

Players must work together to keep the citizens calm and prevent the environment from becoming too haunted. Track down the ghost, use the particle launcher to hold it in place, and close the trap at the right time.
However, thanks to Ray Stanz (Dan Aykroyd) and Tobin’s Spirit Guide, you can embody the ghosts. Among several ghosts to choose from – each with their own unique abilities – haunt a location, scare people, and escape Scott by flying or using teleport between rifts.

Own items to sneak around a little easier with Ghostbusters, or resort to slime and summoning ghouls to save yourself in one-on-one battle.
Between matches, players can customize their Ghostbuster or Ghost at the Firehouse, upgrade their gear and abilities, and can practice using the Particle Launcher and its modifications. Get your missions from Winston before heading out to your next game.

While neither has confirmed their roles, it seems unlikely that they’ll just voice a few soundbites of otherwise hollow playable characters. Writer red against blue James Willems and his wife and writer of Armageddon Elysee Willems announced that they would be writing for the game, suggesting that a larger narrative would unfold.
