Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR) has announced a new cooperative ghost-hunting game titled Ghostbusters VR. While the game is published by SPVR, it is being developed by the seasoned VR game development studio 'nDreams.' This game will allow a group of friends to take on the role of the iconic Ghostbusters as they explore a new city and confront new ghosts. The game will take place in San Francisco, where players will establish a Ghostbusters Headquarters and respond to various distress calls from haunted buildings.
SPVR released a short trailer to announce the release as a title for the Meta Quest 2. In this trailer, the player is seen scanning an old factory for ghosts. As the player progresses, objects such as barrels and boxes fly around the room on their own, and eerie music can be heard.
