Hunt ghosts as two memorable characters in a story driven Action/RPG where your decisions have dramatic consequences.

Experience a powerful and intimate narrative in this Action-RPG, playing as two proficient ghost hunters and lovers, faced with impossible choices and their dramatic consequences for the living… and the dead.

New Eden, 1695. Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith are lovers and Banishers, ghost-hunters who vowed to protect the living from the threat of lingering ghosts and specters. Following a disastrous last mission, Antea is fatally wounded, becoming one of the spirits she loathes. In the haunted wilds of North America, the couple desperately searches for a way to liberate Antea from her new plight.

Immerse yourself in a beautiful, intimate and powerful story between two fated lovers. As Banishers, enter the lives of New Eden’s communities and solve haunting cases in a mystical, lore-rich world plagued with supernatural creatures and ancient secrets. Use your wits or combine Antea’s spiritual powers and Red’s arsenal to defeat and banish the souls tormenting the living.

Challenging decisions will lay on your path, dramatically impacting your story and the fate of New Eden’s inhabitants—be they living people or wandering souls. How much will you compromise your ghost-hunting vow for the sake of your lover who became one of such spirits?

Focus Entertainment and DON'T NOD are delighted to feature the voices of the two lead characters of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden - ghost hunters Red Mac Raith and Antea Duarte - in a brand-new video titled "The Weight of Consequences." You’ll dive deep into the conflicted motivations driving each of these people, as well as the impossible choices that await as you decide the fate of their journey.

Explore the game through the eyes of the duo’s English voice actors: Russ Bain (Shetland) and Amaka Okafor (known for her leading role in the critically acclaimed series Bodies). They’re accompanied by Head of Narration Stéphane Beauverger. You’ll discover the importance of choices and their impact on the mystical world of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Immerse yourself in the lives of the people of New Eden to uncover their terrible secrets and exorcise a world overrun by supernatural forces.

After Antea's death and her return as a ghost, the couple faces an impossible moral dilemma. With Antea's spirit now stuck between the worlds of the living and the dead, the duo must make a heart-wrenching choice: release her soul and let her go for good…or betray their Banisher vows by sacrificing the living to bring her back to life. Use your skills to combine Antea's spiritual powers with Red's formidable arsenal and break the link between tormented souls and the living they haunt.

Discover the Red Echoes Edition, containing an old leather-bound journal illustrated with Red's memories, as well as an ink writing set, the game on the platform of your choice, and the “Wanderer Set” DLC!
