Hoping to replicate the success of
Pokemon GO, Sony Pictures Entertainment is teaming with developer Ghost Corps and publisher FourThirtyThree Inc. to release
Ghostbusters World, an "all-new state-of-the-art" augmented reality game.
Revealed as part of Google's ARCore announcement,
Ghostbusters World is said to feature "the latest in AR and other mobile technologies and differentiates itself with skill-based gameplay and numerous other exciting features yet to be announced."
Ghostbusters World will function similar to other games of this nature. As players explore the real world they'll encounter ghosts from all dimensions of the franchise - including the films, TV shows, comic books, theme parks, and video games - which they will capture using their mobile device. The game will also feature new and unique ghosts to the franchise.
“The Ghostbusters Universe is rich in characters and Ghostbusters World is the perfect medium to get to know these characters in a whole new dimension,” said Ivan Reitman, Principal, Ghost Corps, and Director & Producer of the original Ghostbusters movie.
Although the
Ghostbusters franchise may not be on the same level as
Pokemon in terms of popularity, the franchise has a very passionate following.
Ghostbusters World is set to launch for iOS and Android devices in 2018. A teaser for the game can be seen below.
