Illfonic has dropped the third free DLC pack for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed today. It comes with a new type of ghost based on a Real Ghostbusters figure, a new level, and some new customization options from the 2016 reboot.
The new map takes place in a concert venue, the New Motion Club. It lets you bust ghosts backstage before, I assume, you then dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance. I’m sort of surprised it took this long to get a concert hall location, but I suppose it fits well with the DLC pack’s theme.
The DLC pack’s theme
That theme is the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot. You’ll get to deck out your ‘buster with some of the equipment used by the all-lady team from that movie. I can honestly say that I haven’t watched the whole film, but from the large pieces I have seen, I did not like it. However, as a longtime fan of the property, I never wanted another live-action movie. I haven’t seen Afterlife either, and I don’t want to. It might not be bad, but there is absolutely zero chance it captures the same majesty of the original film. I’d be more interested if they made a big-screen adaptation of The Real Ghostbusters.
Speaking of which, as is standard for these DLC packs, we’re getting an additional ghost. This one is “The Watcher,” and it’s based on the old favorite Real Ghostbusters toy, Bug-Eye. I’ve said it before, but I’m still waiting for them to add Fearsome Flush.
On top of this absolutely free DLC, Illfonic has announced they’re dropping the price of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed to $19.99. This is down from $39.99, so if my math is right – and it usually isn’t – that’s about 50% off. Permanently! Let me tell you, chum; it’s well worth it.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is currently available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store. This third DLC drop is available for free starting today.
