The studio behind Life Is Strange and Vampyr wants you to play both sides of its gruesome new romance
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden ULTIMATE GUIDE! 10 Tips I Wish I Knew Before! | Beginner's guide
It can be hard to keep up with Don't Nod. The French studio has established itself with an eclectic oeuvre of medium-sized games with a strong emphasis on storytelling, from its sci-fi debut Remember Me to its beloved teen drama Life Is Strange and its latest: Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden.
A follow-up to the studio's cult classic 2018 RPG Vampire, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden takes after its predecessor — which saw a doctor tormented by his transformation into a vampire in the wake of the Spanish flu after The Great War — by using the supernatural premise to build out character-driven morality plays, this time with a game-spanning romance.
In Banishers, players take on the dual roles of Red mac Raith and Antea Duarte, partners in love and profession. The eponymous Banishers, they are ghost hunters and exorcists who face a personal crisis when Antea is killed in a haunting and must accompany Red in non-corporeal form. Throughout the game, as players solve hauntings such as the deadly Red and the ghostly Antea, players must constantly return to the question: Will Red resurrect Antea or banish her to the afterlife?
