Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is set in a fictional part of North America named New Eden in 1695. It is a story-based action RPG.

In the game, players will take on the role of a pair of banished ghost hunters named Red mac Raith and Antea Duarte. Both of these characters will be playable.

Antea is seriously wounded following a failed mission, and the couple roams the lands of New Eden in search of a solution to her difficulties. Like the previous Life is Strange, players' decisions will decide the course of gameplay. The studio describes these choices as "meaningful" and "morally ambiguous." One's choices will also determine whether the characters make it out alive.

In Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, choices will also determine the fate of the inhabitants of New Eden. This ranges from the living people in the region to the wandering souls that players are tasked with getting rid of.

Players will also get to solve haunting cases and battle supernatural forces in the game. The gameplay mechanics will combine Red's weapon arsenal and Antea's spiritual powers.

Based on information from the developers, players will get to explore the large "mystical" and "lore-rich" world and uncover its secrets and mysteries.

Here's what Oskar Guilbert, CEO of Don't Nod, had to say about the title:

"I am very proud of the talented team hard at work developing this exciting new action-RPG and delighted to once again have the privileged support of our accomplished partner Focus Entertainment.”

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden does not have a release date yet. The game is expected to launch by the end of 2023.
