Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a third-person action role-playing video game. In the game, the player assumes control of a pair of ghost hunters named Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith. The pair goes on a mission to investigate a small but haunted community named New Eden, though Duarte becomes a ghost in the process. Players can make use of both Raith's conventional weaponry and Duarte's spirit abilities to combat hostile enemies. In the game, players will have to make numerous choices, influencing the game's story.[1]
Development/Release
In 2019, Focus Entertainment and DontNod Entertainment launched a new development deal after the success of Vampyr, and commenced production.[2] The game was publicly revealed during The Game Awards in December 2022.[3] The game was originally scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 7 November 2023.[4] On 26 September, it was delayed to 13 February 2024 in order to avoid an "intense" release window.[5]
