00:00 I'm Nathan, I'm the Game Director of Ghostbusters Rise of the Ghost Lord.
00:03 In December we presented an all new roadmap of exciting improvements and content for 2024,
00:08 and I'm here today to give you an update of what we've been working on over the winter
00:12 and what you can expect this January.
00:21 So what's new in the Slimehunt update?
00:23 So it's a brand new mission featuring the iconic ghost from the original movie.
00:28 Somehow he's made his way from New York to San Francisco and you are going to be hunting
00:33 him down in the Hookfarber Mansion.
00:36 Using your PKE meter in a mission that's more about investigation and exploration.
00:42 For this update we wanted to add more references to the original films, so obviously that meant
00:46 adding the flight suits from the original Ghostbusters movies as a selectable option
00:50 for all the current in-game playable avatars.
00:52 As well as the original khaki colour scheme we also added dark blue from the second Ghostbusters
00:57 film, as well as three more options from the real animated Ghostbusters series.
01:01 In addition to the flight suits our team also focused on bringing maybe the most iconic
01:05 ghost from the Ghostbusters franchise to the game, which is Slimer.
01:09 Slimer is now available as a playable avatar as well as an enemy that you can hunt down
01:14 in the new game mode.
01:15 For the animation team it was a really exciting challenge to bring out his personality and
01:19 we referenced a lot from the film like the iconic scenes where he's drinking wine, where
01:24 he's copying out the loot from Flate and also where you get to trap him with your Protobot
01:28 and traps.
01:32 So with Slimer as the star of this new update it was really important to us to be as faithful
01:36 as possible to the existing franchise.
01:38 So when we were developing Slimer we worked directly with GhostCorp, iterating on his
01:42 design to make him as authentic as possible.
01:44 When we visited the film set for research we actually got to meet the original puppet
01:49 and the puppeteers.
01:50 This content has got the strongest connections to the existing Ghostbusters franchise and
01:54 story plus we've taken a look at the tone, it's darker, it's scarier and it's spookier.
02:00 Plus this mission is just as good played single player as it is multiplayer.
02:06 And we're really excited to announce that Dan Aykroyd is reprising his role as Ray Stance
02:11 in our game for the first time.
02:13 He will be guiding you through the experience of hunting Slimer.
02:17 It was extremely special for us to get to work with one of the key architects of Ghostbusters
02:21 and a privilege that he performed as Ray in our game.
02:24 San Francisco Ghostbusters come in, this is Dr. Ray Stance from New York.
02:29 Glad to be speaking with a fellow practitioner of paranormal investigations.
02:34 We're really excited to see how many references you will encounter and recognise in the new
02:38 updates.
02:39 We're confident that these changes are going to make you feel more like a Ghostbuster than
02:42 ever before.
02:44 We're going to continue listening to your feedback as we make further updates.
02:47 The next one is going to be really cool.
