Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition

Patch 1.11: The Boogieman Cometh!

IllFonic

Now Available - Boogieman (Poltergeist)

Last June, we not only celebrated Ghostbusters Day, we celebrated the 40th Anniversary! And part of that celebration was running a contest where YOU, the community, could choose a Ghost to be part of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed!

It was a tight match, but in the end, The Boogieman was the victor! We're happy to announce that TODAY, with the release of Patch 1.11.0, Boogieman is HERE and he's already terrifying all the innocent civvies!

Go forth and bust!

There are many things that go bump in the night, but none are as infamous as the Boogieman himself! He feasts on fear and plagues children with his horrid, nightmarish visage!

Having fought the Ghostbusters on multiple occasions, he's quite experienced with their tactics and trinkets. More importantly, he's back to show just how tantalizingly terrible he can be to this new generation of Busters!
