Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is the perfect VR game for Halloween and it just got released

No joke: Halloween is my favoriteholiday. It’s not just about the Autumn season being beautiful or about it being the best time to catch up with some horror movies. It’s about a certain vibe that isn’t about scary, but about spooky. (yes, queue the song in your mind)

And getting spooked? Well, now, that’s something that works great on some of the best VR headsets on the market. Like the Quest 3, for example, which launched just recently. And with most users getting their units right before Halloween, a solid spooky title is a must.

Which is probably what Meta thought, because “Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord” just launched on the Quest Store. And if you’re like me and have a deep appreciation for what Ghost Busters achieved in the 80s, then this one is just up your alley.

And, obviously, just in time for Halloween!



Now, this one is developed by nDreams, and if you’ve been into VR gaming for a while now, then you’ve certainly heard of the studio. The team has got tons of titles under its belt, including Far Cry VR, Powerwash Simulator and now: Ghostbusters too!

So, what’s this brand new adventure all about? It’s a ghost busting adventure of your very own, where you and up to three other friends can join forces in order to kick the Ghost Lord’s ghastly but! And judging by the trailer, the feel of the franchise is just on point.

Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is available right now for $34.99 for the Quest 2, the Quest Pro and the Quest 3. The latter two also get a neat little mixed-reality minigame where you defend your actual home against an invasion from mini Stay Puft Marshmallow Men.

A bit more details can be discovered in the description of the title too and by how it reads, it isn’t difficult to conclude that the team has big plans for this one. Not only with a couple of free content updates, but maybe even with a full blown expansion and extra modes.

While we don’t have as much info on that for the time being, we do have the most important part figured out: Halloween 2023 is going to be sweet for VR enthusiasts!
