To coincide with the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (in theaters today) nDreams Game Director, Nathan Baseley, has announced that their Frozen Empire content update for Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is coming to PlayStation VR2 as a free update on March 28, 2024.
Following on from the Slimer Hunt update released in January, the Frozen Empire update features five new narrative-infused missions that see players working as a team for Dr. Ray Stantz – played by the legendary Dan Aykroyd – to defeat the villainous Garraka.
The Frozen Empire mission pack begins with a trip to New York where players will be briefed in person by Ray.
Since developers able to visit the Frozen Empire movie set, they got to go inside the firehouse to ensure the layout and details in-game were as authentic as possible. Players will be able to explore both inside the firehouse and outside on the rooftop, and interact with parts of the scenery and can even slide down the fire poles!
Players will also be able to use the original proton packs from the first Ghostbusters film (1984) courtesy of Ray himself. Alongside the original packs, you’ll receive a brand-new invention from Lars in the Ghostbusters’ new research lab, called the Heat Beam which will come in handy for any Garraka’s challenges.
