Legendary writer, actor and comedian Dan Aykroyd reprises his role as original Ghostbuster Ray Stantz in Slimer Hunt, a brand-new mission that brings Slimer to the streets of San Francisco. Guided by Ray, players will team up to track down Slimer before he can unleash his unique brand of mischief.
Also landing in this update are the flight suits of the original Ghostbusters as an in-game cosmetic, allowing players to step into the iconic uniforms from the original movie and fulfil the fantasy of being part of the first band of Ghostbusters like never before.
