"Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed," an asymmetrical 4v1 multiplayer game by IllFonic, is now available on Nintendo Switch. Priced at $19.99 on the My Nintendo Store, it allows fans of Ghostbusters to join forces or face off against players on various platforms.
With the launch of the Switch port, we also have the Ecto Edition which includes four post-launch DLC packages with additional ghosts, maps, and enhancements. Players take the role of Proton Pack-wielding Ghostbuster engage in spirited battles across new haunted locations and get deeper into the game's narrative from within the Firehouse. The addition of the new haunts coincides with the spooky weeks leading up to Halloween.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition Gameplay and Technical Aspects
The Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition adopts a 4-vs-1 setup, similar to a game of 'hide and seek'. A squad of Ghostbusters armed with Proton Packs teams up to capture an elusive specter. To draw a parallel, think of the Luigi's Mansion minigame in Nintendo Land, and you'll be on the right track.
Players have the choice of engaging in online multiplayer action or honing their spectral skills offline with an AI opponent. This allows players to practice their 'Sliming' techniques before assembling a squad of fellow ghost hunters.
Also, another enriching feature of the Ecto Edition is that it has an asymmetrical setup, a hallmark of IllFonic’s previous titles. Players can assume the role of either a member of the new Ghostbusters team or a solitary Ghost. This versatility allows for solo play or cooperative adventures with up to four friends.

New Ghosts and Maps in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition
An array of new ghosts are being introduced with Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition. These Ghosts come with a series of new abilities, including possession of objects and, of course, sliming. This diverse skill set makes each haunting experience a blast.
- Darklock Ghost Type
- The Darklock tries to make everyone deeply aware of misery by personifying misery. This particular kind of ghostly Overlord has been around for as long as pain has. It gives off a deranged feeling of thrill and feeds on anybody who gets in its way.
- Gravebringer Ghost Type
- The Gravebringer attempts to bring out the deepest anxieties of people who have given up hope and brings humanity's fear of death. It enjoys breaking people's determination and focusing on the weakest link. The Gravebringer seems like the most powerful of all the new Ghost types.
- Overlord Ghost Type
- The Overlord is a relentless spectral force driven by a relentless need to seek and instill fear. It emerged from pain, fear, and darkness, making it both powerful and cunning. With never-before-seen passive abilities, it's a challenge to subdue. Its presence exudes a palpable sense of impending dread, intensifying fear in those nearby. Instead of using slime or shocks, it relies on deadly claws and hurls physical objects. Facing off against an Overlord is a truly terrifying ordeal.
- Samhain Ghost Type
- Samhain, sometimes referred to as the Ghost of Halloween, is the epitome of pure evil and aims to lead an army of the dark. Samhain legends go back to the seventh century and these are the powerful beings that can control both living things and inanimate objects. Samhain is able to escape even after being killed and put in a cell, coming out much more enraged and powerful.

Apart from the new ghosts, the Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition also brings two new maps for the players, Petey’s Pirate Cove and Galway Station.
Petey’s Pirate Cove is a vibrant pirate hangout where you can enjoy games, plentiful grog, and a multitude of ghostly specters. It's a place teeming with the lively spirit of a bustling pirate hub. Scallywags and buccaneers can indulge in various games and entertainment. You won't go thirsty, thanks to the copious supply of grog. It's a haven for ghostly apparitions, more numerous than a sunken shipwreck.
On the other hand, Galway Station is infamous for ghostly encounters, especially around its old-timey train cars in the subway. Patrons of the subway frequently report sightings of tormented apparitions. The supernatural atmosphere is particularly strong in the vicinity of Galway Station, making it an eerie and unsettling place.
Overall, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition invites players to embrace their inner ghost hunter or unleash their naughty side as crafty ghosts, promising a ghoulishly fantastic time. Along with several UX, UI, and gameplay enhancements, there are multiple ghost bounties, character and gear load-outs, new gear shells, new cosmetics, and an additional tenure level.
