Focus Entertainment has announced the agreement with DON'T NOD (Life is Strange, Tell Me Why, Twin Mirror) for the development of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, an action-RPG for next-generation consoles that will see us immerse ourselves in a story of ghost hunters of the fifteenth century. The game is expected during 2023 and unfortunately, at least according to the information released at the moment, it will be devoid of Italian localization, including texts.

Here is the first official information, the announcement trailer and a set of images.

Hunt ghosts as two memorable characters in an action RPG where every choice has dramatic consequences. Solve haunting cases and face supernatural forces with Antea's powers and Red's arsenal.

New Eden, 1695. Antea Duarte and Red Mac Raith are a pair of purges, ghost hunters who have sworn to protect the living from the threat of ghosts. Following the disaster of the last mission, Antea finds herself seriously injured and becomes one of those ghosts she hates so much. The couple will then try to free Antea from the pain that afflicts her in the haunted forests of North America.

Let yourself be carried away by the powerful and intimate story of these two lovers with adverse fate. As a purser, enter the lives of New Eden's communities and solve haunting cases in this mystical world, steeped in traditions and haunted by supernatural creatures and ancient secrets. Use your wits or combine Antea's spiritual powers with Red's arsenal to annihilate and purge the souls that torment the living.

Difficult decisions await you that will significantly affect the history and fate of the inhabitants of New Eden, whether they are alive or wandering souls. Will you be willing to compromise on your vow as a ghost hunter for the sake of your beloved, who has become one of these ghosts?

• Play as Antea and Red and face supernatural forces with magic, weapons and spiritual powers
• Unlock new equipment and abilities to unleash the full power of purgers
• Unravel the ancient secrets and mysteries of this mystical and tradition-rich world
• As is usual for the famous DON'T NOD studio, you make meaningful and morally ambiguous choices that influence the history, the world and the fate of the characters (living or dead).
