Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Don't Nod and published by Focus Entertainment. The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 13 February 2024.

Gameplay

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a third-person action role-playing 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.[2]

Development and release

In 2019, Focus Entertainment and Don't Nod Entertainment launched a new development deal after the success of Vampyr, and commenced production.[3] It is a "spiritual successor" to Vampyr.[4] Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden was revealed during The Game Awards in December 2022.[5] The game was originally scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 7 November 2023.[6] On 26 September, it was delayed to 13 February 2024 in order to avoid an "intense" release window.[7]
