Don’t Nod’s next game, first revealed last year during The Game Awards, now has a release date. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on November 7. The game tells the story of Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith, who are lovers that serve as Banishers — those who protect the living from the lingering spirits of the dead. In the game, Antea, who has become a ghost herself, will work alongside Red to discover a way to bring her back to life.
In this adventure, players will explore New Eden, engaging in combat using Red’s weaponry and Antea’s abilities. In the traditional style of Don’t Nod, players will also have to make choices that impact the game’s narrative. You can watch the release date trailer below.
New Eden, 1695. Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith are lovers and Banishers, ghost-hunters who vowed to protect the living from the threat of lingering ghosts and spectres. Following a disastrous last mission, Antea is fatally wounded, becoming one of the spirits she loathes. In the haunted wilds of North America, the couple desperately searches for a way to liberate Antea from her new plight. Immerse yourself in a beautiful, intimate and powerful story between two fated lovers. As Banishers, enter the lives of New Eden’s communities and solve haunting cases in a mystical, lore-rich world plagued with supernatural creatures and ancient secrets. Use your wits or combine Antea’s spiritual powers and Red’s arsenal to defeat and banish the souls tormenting the living.
Challenging decisions will lay on your path, dramatically impacting your story and the fate of New Eden’s inhabitants—be they living people or wandering souls. How much will you compromise your ghost-hunting vow for the sake of your lover who became one of such spirits?
