About the Game

In New Eden, 1695, communities of settlers are plagued by a dreadful curse. As Banishers, step into their lives, investigate the source of evil, unravel chilling mysteries, explore diverse landscapes, and interact with unforgettable characters whose fate lies in your hands.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an all-new title crafted by renowned studio DON'T NOD, known for their acclaimed titles such as Life is Strange and Vampyr. Immerse yourself in an intimate narrative Action-RPG, taking you on an exhilarating journey between life, death, love and sacrifices.

Play as a couple of Banishers, Red and Antea, experienced spirit hunters entrusted with the daunting task of dispelling a malevolent curse through powerful rituals. Protect the living from the threat of lingering ghosts and specters, and become a beacon of hope in a world consumed by darkness.

Experience a heart-wrenching love story between Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith. When Antea is killed and turned into a spirit, you find yourself facing a choice. Will you uphold your oath and ascend her soul, or will you sacrifice the living in the hope of bringing her back? Your decisions will shape the fate of New Eden’s inhabitants - may they be living or dead, and determine the end of your journey.

  • BLAME the living and sacrifice their lives, holding them responsible for their actions

  • BANISH souls of the departed, condemning them to eternal suffering

  • ASCEND souls, liberating them from eternal sorrow and granting them serenity

Banishers are specialized in combat against undead creatures, such as specters or ghosts. Combine Red's physical arsenal with Antea's supernatural powers in a dynamic combat system. Find your own style by mixing weapon attacks and spiritual abilities. Powerful synergies will lead you to defeat New Eden’s most dangerous enemies and bosses.

Unleash the full power of the Banishers by unlocking new gear and supernatural abilities. By exploring New Eden, you will find ancient artifacts, trinkets and valuable resources to enhance your equipment in preparation of future fights. In addition to your arsenal, progress in Antea’s skill trees to upgrade her devastating spectral powers and unseal new combos.

Investigate haunting cases in a mystical world full of dark secrets. Discover New Eden, a North America settlement marked by terrible stories and secrets of its tormented inhabitants. Understanding each resident’s motivations will be essential to guide your decisions throughout the game.

A far better and more enjoyable game than I expected. Pros: Interesting characters, mostly great voice acting (shoutout especially to Russ Bain who gave an amazing performance as Red MacRaith), and well-written, tragic, hard-hitting stories. The hauntings were true moral dilemmas for the most part, and I enjoyed the dynamic between Red and Antea and how it evolved as the story progressed. The world is grim and bleak

One of my favorite flat games in VR so far. It works perfectly with UEVR mod and doesn't even require a profile, although I've seen some people play it in first person. There are sections in the game where 3rd person is a must, so I'm glad I kept it. I finished the game completely VR without any major issues. The story is great, side quests are almost at the level of Witcher 3. I really enjoyed some of the secondary

After 21 hours I've come to see that this game is bad and have given up on finishing it, as the combat is bland and story is dry with moments of incredibly bad writing.
