Gameloft, leader in the development and publishing of games, the LEGO Group, and Sony Pictures Consumer Products are thrilled to announce a new adventure coming to LEGO® Legacy: Heroes Unboxed starring the original characters from Ghostbusters (1984), available now on App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store!

Additionally, the Ecto-1 set will be given away to all players who complete the tutorial. This is the very first licensed addition to LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, and is the largest content update so far.

There’s something bizarre happening in Piptown, currently covered in slime and spooky figures run amok, including a new Green Ghost enemy, with a gnarly portal brought about by dark magic from another source. Upon further investigation, Slimer is eating Piptown out of house and home – literally – and chases our heroes who uncover a devious ploy by Garmadon to resurrect an ethereal army!

It’s up to the Ghostbusters to save the day!

The Ghostbusters team is a powerful balanced group, and is good against pirate and Ninjago foes, and is especially strong against spooky foes too! Make sure to collect your crew to take on a variety of intimidating foes!

“Ever since we announced LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, players have been asking if we would be introducing any characters from outside the LEGO Universe”, Guilherme Lachaut, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Gameloft. “The Ghostbusters were the perfect set to choose as our first licensed addition. They strike a delightful balance of humor and adventure and fit perfectly in the world we’ve created.”

Manual Samuel developer Perfectly Paranormal’s upcoming limb defiling, body desecrating puzzle-platformer adventure – Helheim Hassle has a free demo available now on Xbox One from July 21st – 27th as part of the Xbox Summer Games Fest.

This demo is a preview of the madness you might come to see in Helheim Hassle. Witness the mood of the world, meet some main characters, deal with a few goblins and dip your toes in some Puzzles. But don’t detach your toes yet, that comes in the full version; which features up to 70 quests across 14 levels, requiring the use of all manner of different body part combos to complete the game’s unique puzzle-platforming challenges.
