Ghostwire: Tokyo isn’t a horror game, it’s Japanese ‘Ghostbusters’

Ghostwire: Tokyo is launching on March 25 for PlayStation 5 and PC. Publisher Bethesda confirmed that date as part of its gameplay reveal video today that showed the ghost-hunting adventure in action. And “action” is key to understanding this new game from developer Tango Gameworks. This isn’t a tense survival-horror game where you try to outrun powerful enemies like Tango’s Evil Within franchise. Instead, Ghostwire is an open-word Ghostbusters game with a Japanese yokai skin.

In Ghostwire, you play as Akito who shares his body with the powerful spirit KK. This gives you an arsenal of magical powers and abilities to take out hordes of spirits.
