Phasmophobia Coming To Haunt Consoles Just In Time For Halloween
If your Halloween plans included firing up some scary video games, you might need to make room for one more. Today, during the Xbox Partner Preview event, Kinetic Games revealed that Phasmophobia–the co-op survival game where teams of ghost-hunters investigate paranormal activity–will launch in early access on consoles October 29.
Phasmophobia drops four players into a dark and deserted area–houses, campsites, prisons, etc.–and tasks them with identifying an otherworldly intruder from a list of 24 potential types. However, the ghost can become angered at the team’s efforts and fly into a rage, hunting the players and sending them into the afterlife to join it.
Each challenge comes with a full set of ghost-hunting tools used to identify the spirit in question, from cameras that can pick up a spooky silhouette, to a ghost-writing book that can be used to communicate with the target. Each tool is stored in a truck outside, and players will travel back and forth between the truck and the house in order to get to the bottom of the supernatural situation.
