A pair of trailers for the previously announced add-ons to upcoming zombie survival game Into The Dead 2 have been released featuring two treasured franchises. The one above details a Ghostbusters pack and if you scroll down you'll find another trailer for an add-on based on George Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead.
You'll be strapping on a proton pack as a rookie alongside Egon, Winston, Peter and Ray as you take on paranormal enemies - sounds a little like Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered, then. The Ghostbusters themselves, though, look like a mix of their movie and animated selves - check out Egon's blonde hair.
The Night of the Living Dead add-on is set prior to the events of the movie and has players following the story of Ben. Teaming up with a girl called Alice, you'll be fighting the undead horde across twelve levels, as detailed in this trailer:
With 60 levels, multiple endings and a variety of mechanics including companions and a bunch of different classes, the base zombie survival game looked intriguing before, but this extra DLC certainly sweetens the pot.
The game is available on 25th October and the physical edition includes both add-ons - digital gamers will have to buy them separately. It seems that PAL versions of the physical edition (that's UK, EU and Australia) will have to wait a little longer until 1st November to get a boxed copy. A little late for Halloween, but come on - these movies are evergreen!
In fact, it seems Sony (the owners of Columbia Pictures and the Ghostbusters) is starting up an aggressive marketing blitz in preparation for next year's movie featuring the 'busters. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered launches at the end of this week, Ecto-1 arrived in Rocket League over the summer and there appears to be plenty more to come. Let's hope the movie lives up to expectations!
Have you played this on mobile? Does the addition of these classic franchises make it more appealing? Let us know in the usual place.

Don't buy this game, its a mobile game, thats selling for £40, the game is kinda fun on your phone for 5 minute bursts, but no way worth the asking price
@ChineseJames
thanks looked interesting from screenshots. will give it a wide berth
$40 for an auto runner that's free on phones? Ahahahahahahahaha. I feel so bad for anyone that these terrible people sucker in.
Are these DLC packs free? Because if you have to pay $40 for the game, and then extra for these dlc packs, that will be some high class BS.
@PhilKenSebben Thankfully I get review codes for games, so i'll be playing this one free. Though no matter how good it is on Switch, I don't think anything could justify the price tag.
Was genuinely interested in this til I found out it was an auto-runner :/ Mobile ports don't bother me too much depending on how they're priced but this just doesn't seem my cup of tea. Shame really as the DLC looks interesting!
Oh no, no, no, no. A $40 mobile game that’s free on phones? Yeah, hard pass. This is honestly a greedy move imo. Just make the game free on the Eshop/PSN/XboxLive or wherever it’s releasing.
If this is just a crappy mobile game, how the heck were they able to secure the licenses of such popular movie franchises?
@patbacknitro18 I used to get those too (but was a streamer for a site), and I wouldnt have wasted my space. I'm not usually so down on games, but this is just gross imo. It's not a bad mobile game, but that pricing. Oof.
I wonder on reflection if this pricing is a sneaky ploy, with so many devs putting their games on sale at amazingly high reductions maybe the plan is to retail at £40 then put it on sale at 75% off and watch folks leap on “amazing value”? Idk, £40 seems criminal...
Night of the living dead Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those who says it's free on phone, it ain't free on phone. The barebone version is free but to get the whole experience you gotta download the microtransactions and subscriptions not to mention them loot boxes. At least this port won't have those with a lot of those contents already included in the game as unlockable instead. Still this isn't my kind of game, endless runner just isn't for me.
