Spirits Unleashed is Dead… long live Spirits Unleashed!
Illfonic has finally revealed what we all thought was the truth about Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. In a long Developer’s Update post, they went through each of their active games, and provided an update for each. And while I can say I am disappointed with this announcement that there won’t be any new content for Spirits Unleashed for the time being, I am happy that the game isn’t going the way of Ghostbusters World.
I also appreciate that they left the door open to more, with the phrase “for the time being.” If I had to guess, I would say that they’re leaving the door open for the upcoming Ghostbusters animated series, as well as the next Ghostbusters film to inspire new additions to the game.
Illfonic’s update on Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
Over the past few years, we’ve been incredibly honored to see so many talented Ghosts and Ghostbusters grace The Firehouse. This community never hesitates to answer the call and that infectious enthusiasm keeps us eager to play with all of you. We’d also be remiss in not mentioning the potent creative talent bursting that has been repeatedly demonstrated by Ghostbusters fans during our #SummerOfSlimer, Doppelbuster, and other contests.
From Samhain to the Boogieman, our journey has been filled with so many special spectral memories following our launch in 2022. However, as our Containment Unit reaches capacity, we wanted to share that most of our team has shifted its focus away from creating new content for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed for the time being.
Our one-of-a-kind Ghostbusting game will remain playable, and we’ll continue to support the game by addressing any technical issues that may arise. From everyone here at IllFonic, thanks so much for sharing your love of Ghostbusters with us and we look forward to celebrating Ghostbusters Day with everyone next year!
