I hope you aren’t afraid of ghosts.
A new Ghostbusters game has been announced.
Ghostbusters World is a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) game, like 2016 juggernaut Pokemon Go, in which players use smart devices to find and catch “specters, ghosts, and apparitions.” The game is coming to Android and iOS this year, although a specific release date and price have not yet been revealed. More information will be announced at the Game Developers Conference next month.
Check out the official teaser trailer below:
In Ghostbusters World, players will be able to battle and capture hundreds of ghosts from “all dimensions of the franchise,” including the films, TV shows, comic books, theme parks, and video games. There will also be new ghosts to capture created especially for the game.
NextAge is handling development as part of a collaboration between publishing partner FourThirtyThree Inc. (4:33), Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Ghost Corps. The game was revealed as part of Google’s ARCore announcement, and a demo is on display at the Google Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain.
