Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord gets new Frozen Empire mission pack
Game Director Nathan Baseley announced Rise of the Ghost Lord’s new expansion in a post on the PlayStation Blog. The Frozen Empire DLC adds five new missions. Dan Aykroyd reprises his role as veteran Ghostbuster Ray, who will brief players on their mission to defeat Garraka.
Starting in New York, players will return to the game’s main setting of San Francisco to find that Garraka’s influence extends there as well.
“We’re so excited to connect Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord’s story to the wider Ghostbusters’ universe through Frozen Empire,” Baseley wrote.
In addition to working with Aykroyd, nDreams visited the set of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to accurately recreate the iconic fire station. Players can explore both the interior and the rooftop and even slide down the fireman’s pole.
“We can’t wait for you to have the chance to experience this slice of Ghostbusters history in VR,” said Baseley.
The Frozen Empire DLC also gives players some new weapons to aid in their battle against Garraka and her minions. This included a chance to use the original Proton Packs from the original 1984 Ghostbusters film. Meanwhile, players can melt ice and fry specters with the new Heat Beam.
Finally, Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is getting three new player avatars based on characters from Frozen Empire. Players can battle Garraka as Lars Pinfield, Lucky Domingo, and Podcast.
