Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will be available on the Nintendo Switch later this year.
Revealed today (Ghostbusters Day), the title will be available in both digital and physical formats. Nighthawk Interactive will be assisting with the physical release.
IllFonic's Vice President of Technology, Chance Lyon said this about the forthcoming port:
"As a gamer, I wanted this to be something I would be proud and excited to play. The game will feel very familiar on Switch as on other platforms, and it's a high-quality port. Most importantly, I'm excited to play the game with my daughter, who games exclusively on the Switch."
A synopsis for the game reads:
In Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore open the Firehouse to you and the next generation of Ghostbusters. This asymmetrical game of hide and seek is a 4v1 setup where players will either play as part of a team of new Ghostbusters or a Ghost. This title not only allows players to enjoy the game solo or with up to four friends, but also features an online and offline single-player mode available in the form of AI-assisted play. Most importantly, the more you play, the more the story will unfold (with cutscenes). Those already playing will be excited to hear that this story will be expanded in the Ecto Edition coming later this year. Whether haunting or hunting, the game is easy to learn and fun to master!
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. More information about the game can be made here.
