Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed was then formally revealed in March. It’s set after all the movies so far, including recent release Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Expect plenty of nods to the series for fans then.

As with the studio’s other film-based games like Predator: Hunting Grounds, the title will be a four on one affair. Four of the players will be Ghostbusters and they’ll go up against one other human player as the Ghost.
The Ghostbusters will have to use teamwork and their gadgets to hunt down and capture the ghost. The Ghost player meanwhile, has a bunch of supernatural powers to try and evade capture.
