Fans of the recently-released Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord will have plenty of content to devour in the coming weeks, as Sony Pictures VR has announced two free DLC packs for the game later this year. And according to the announcement, it’s only just the beginning of additional content for the VR game.
Both DLC packs will introduce new game modes on top of the existing four in the base game. The first DLC will include “Heist & Seek”, which is described as the first competitive mode in Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord. In this game mode, three bank-robbing brothers from the great beyond are carrying out a heist for old time’s sake, and it’s up to the Ghostbusters to put them away for good.
Players must team up to encounter each crook one at a time. Locate the first gigantic pile of gold and battle a stream of golden ghosts while the one brother takes cover. When all the golden ghosts are defeated, the Ghostbusters will follow that to the next gold pile (with one of the other brothers), where the sequence repeats until all three brothers face off against the Ghostbusters.
However, there’s a twist. Teammates are pitted against one another to compete for catches. If a Ghostbuster goes down, the money they’ve collected in the mission so far can be stolen by the reviving player on their team. The Ghostbuster with the most loot emerges victorious in a winner-takes-all at the end.
The next DLC will bring “Infestation” to Rise of the Ghost Lord. In this game mode, Ghostbusters find themselves at a location overrun by a particularly egregious and stubborn entity. This grotesque manifestation has burrowed itself into a home within the building’s infrastructure. Armed with their trusty PKE meters, players will embark on a mission to locate this ghostly intruder. You’ll track eerie activity and pinpoint the elusive nest’s location.
You’ll have to bust mischievous ghosts and maneuver through the horde of anthropomorphic manifestations. The trick to dealing with these Nest monsters is to go for the eyes. Use your particle streams to hook the entity’s giant eyes and pluck them out with well-timed blasts. However, to even get its attention, you’ll have to work together with your team to divide and conquer, as other ghosts will rush to defend the nest.
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is available now on the PlayStation Store and Meta Quest Store.
