Ghostbuster VR Is Bringing Something Strange To Your Virtual Neighborhood

If you’ve ever wanted to be a Ghostbuster (and let’s be honest, we all have), a new game from the minds at VR studio nDreams is bringing specter hunting to Meta Quest 2 to help you fulfill that fantasy. 

nDreams VR developers, who are behind VR experiences such as Phantom: Covert Operations, Fracked and Far Cry VR – Dive Into Insanity, has partnered with Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (working title) to make Ghostbusters VR (working title). This new Ghostbusting experience will let you team up with up to three friends in VR to track down the paranormal and blast them with your Proton Packs to trap them and take them back to your HQ. The headquarters will be run by players from San Francisco. This is a new city that Ghostbusters has never visited. nDreams promises an “expansive, engaging” campaign which can be enjoyed alone or with co-operative players.

The trailer released today, while an in-engine cinematic, is not actual gameplay, but there are some hints as to what the game may look like when it’s released, including fun character customizations like the cute animal hat worn by one of the ‘Busters. 

While there’s no official date yet for Ghostbusters VR hitting Meta Quest 2, a release says that additional information will soon be made available. But GBVR isn’t the only Ghostbusters game in the works, as Illfonic’s Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, an asymmetrical multiplayer title is coming later this year.
