Dont Nods "Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden" unveils a gripping tale of spirit hunters Antea and Red. The game, with enhanced editions, arrives on Nov 7, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Don't Nod Studios is currently in the process of developing an intriguing new game titled "Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden," and fresh details have emerged through a comprehensive seven-minute gameplay overview trailer. This trailer delves into various aspects of the game, from introducing the two central protagonists to unveiling the collector's edition. The narrative revolves around a duo of Banishers named Antea Duarte and Red Mac Raith, whose vocation as spirit hunters plays a pivotal role in this intricate journey that explores themes of life, death, love, and sacrifice.

The gameplay overview commences by introducing Antea and Red, shedding light on their unique skills and how they complement each other. The story takes a profound turn as it divides their connection between the realms of the living and the dead, setting the stage for the game's core premise. After Antea's unexpected demise, Red is left to grapple with her solitary existence, while Antea returns as a ghost, a state she despises. "Banishers" tasks them with collaborating from both sides of the veil, necessitating sacrifices to sustain Red in her spectral form.

The trailer provides glimpses of various characters players will encounter and demonstrates how pivotal decisions can impact them and steer the direction of the narrative. Amidst those unwilling to cooperate are numerous formidable adversaries, prompting intense combat sequences. Red wields an arsenal comprising a rifle, sword, and the powerful Firebane. Antea, on the other hand, harnesses ethereal attacks, including spectral damage zones and teleportation.

Both protagonists have the opportunity to enhance their abilities through upgrades, with Antea's skills extending beyond combat, aiding in navigation by heightening her perception, enabling her spectral leap to reach elevated areas.

Apart from the standard game release, "Banishers" offers two enhanced editions. The $84.99 "Red Echoes Edition" bundles the game with a leather-effect notebook, an ink writing set, and the Wanderer Set DLC. For avid collectors, the $199.99 "Collector's Edition" includes a Steelbook with the game, intricately crafted Red and Antea statues, an official book, two signet rings, and the Wanderer Set DLC.

This highly anticipated title, "Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden," made its initial debut at The Game Awards 2022. It follows in the footsteps of Don't Nod Studios' previous successful endeavors like "Remember Me," "Tell Me Why," the "Life is Strange" series, and more. The game is slated for release on November 7, 2023, and will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, promising an immersive experience that delves deep into the realms of the living and the departed.
