'Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden', Extended Gameplay Trailer and Exclusive Editions Detailed

Move over, Frighteners. The Banishers are here!

A supernatural plague has befallen the land of New Eden. Will you follow your oath as a spirit-slaying Banisher and save its people or sacrifice them all for love? 

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, the latest adventure from developer DON’T NOD (Remember Me, Vampyr) and publisher Focus Entertainment (Evil West, Aliens: Dark Descent), received an extended gameplay trailer, which showcased more of Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith’s battle against the undead. Along with the new gameplay and story trailer, Focus Entertainment revealed a pair of exclusive editions available for pre-order. 

The extended trailer follows Red and Antea as they set out to do what they do best—help the living vanquish deadly specters. On the hunt for a paranormal monstrosity terrorizing the people of New Eden, the Banishers find their path blocked by vicious ghostly wolves possessed by a much stronger ethereal menace. 

Swapping between Red’s conventional, period-specific weapons and Antea’s supernatural powers, the pair defeat what evils come their way—big and small. See more of Banishers’ combat and exploration in the extended trailer below:

Banishers is a game of choice, leaving you to decide between the vows of a Banisher and Red’s personal stake to free Antea of her affliction. Beyond Red and Antea’s dilemma and the many dialogue options in-game, you’ll also need to decide whether you want to stick with the standard edition of Ghosts of New Eden or spring for the Red Echoes or Collector’s Editions of the game.

Red Echoes edition brings some of the game’s lore to life with a weathered, leather-effect notebook scribbled with Red’s memories and haunting visions. For $84.99, you’ll also receive a writing quill and ink, access to the Wanderer Set DLC, and either a physical copy of the PS5 or Xbox Series X version or a Steam key. 

At the considerably higher price point of $199.99, the Collector’s Edition features a detailed modular statue of Red and Antea, a steelbook, a pair of Banisher signet rings, access to the Wanderer Set DLC, and the official 128-page The Art of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden book. Like the Red Echoes edition, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are physical editions while PC players receive a Steam key. Sorry, Series S owners. There’s no digital option for the Xbox version in either bundle. 

U.S. customers pre-ordering either of the exclusive editions should note that there is only one shipping method available, and it’s quite expensive. To a Las Vegas zip code, the Red Echoes edition costs $35 to ship. 

Banisher is slated for a November 7, 2023 release on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders of all three editions are available on Focus’ official store.
